A family-owned record shop that has been run by four generations of the same family is about to celebrate a milestone birthday.

The Musical Box Record Shop on West Derby Road in Tuebrook was opened in 1947 by Tony Quinn’s granduncle (grandmother’s brother) after leaving the RAF. Throughout its history, the shop has counted the likes of Bill Shankly and The Beatles before they hit the big time.

Thought to be Liverpool’s oldest surviving record shop, Tony’s grandmother, Dorothy, took over the shop in 1951 when they sold both toys and LPs. When Dorothy died, the shop was run by Tony’s mum, Diane, until the shop passed into his hands when she retired.
