SPINADISC RECORDS ADVERT, NORTHAMPTON
Advert made for Spinadisc Records in Northampton in about 1995. Trading started in 1967, owned by Dick Raybould who worked here up until it shut down a few years back. Northampton town centre isn't the same anymore! I worked there and can be seen smiling pretending to serve someone in the ad.
