TANDY ?
Did they go bankrupt, voluntary liquidation, merge, swallowed up ?
Just curious. I popped into Reading today, must be six months or a year since I last went into town. I wasn't surprised that Tandy was gone, its been gone for donkey years, but as I wandered past the place it had been, I began to wonder "What ever happened to....."
Loads of other "Whatever happened to...." hifi (*) names began to spring to mind as well.....
(*) OK, so Tandy wasn't top-notch hifi, but.........neither was Laskey's...........

Yes, they were. Was there a "Central Arcade" - 35 years ago now and my memory for such things is fading. Windows was where I bought all my vinyl from as well.
I didn't get into CD until after I left uni - couldn't afford to!
Yes, there was a Central Arcade, but I don't recall exactly where. Possibly close to Gray's monument ?
I left university in 1968, so CDs were still more than a decade away..........
