Do you remember>
If you are from Yorkshire- Lincolshire, you may remember this electrical/ T.V. retailer.
Especially the "BOSS" in the two videos at the bottom of the page. "Video thanks to Finlay" https://www.britishrecordshoparchive.org/vallances.html |

I certainly remember the one in Bradford, I bought a few records from them in the early 1970's.

Re: Do you remember>
I most certainly remember them. They had a large shop on the junction of Duncan Street and Market Street in Leeds.
A good friend of mine, Paul Theakstone (ptesounds.co.uk) used to work for them at their service department in Pudsey. Apparently, the chief engineer (Martin), was something of a marvel. The story is that when all the technicians had tried to clear up a sticky job, he would walk up and cure it in minutes. I only met him once, but he was clearly a phenominal technician. |
