"It made sense to open in Newtown due to its acceptance of alternative culture."

From 1889 Thomas & Co. sold records here. The Rexonola Gramaphone was their special line. Shoppers could also buy books, banjos, mouth organs and violins.

This business is also a record label, touring company and agency specialising in hardcore and punk music. 

This shop was once part of a bigger store selling clothing and drapery.
