And more so , Libraries .


True for me in the 80s at least. Our local library didn't have records when I was a kid so budget labels and compilations ruled in the early 70s



Lambeth had a wondeful collection of classical /"serious " including the contemporary stuff, music concrete etc ,jazz , folk and what would now be now described as "world music " , in the late 60's .


I think it is safe to say that in the 60s / 70s I would have been looking for considerably less refined stuff so not sure what was happening around our way. My mum and dad never took records out of the library as far as I know. My aunty would turn up with a new record for my dad in the Phillips series every few weeks - Offenbach, Grieg, Rimsky-Korsakov, Rossini, "lollipops". My mum was more a Sinatra / Dorsey / Miller kind of woman.
