This week’s article is on a more modern theme than usual and for that my thanks must go to Phil Farlow, who not only supplied the period images but was manager of Threshold’s record shop at the time of their opening in 1972 at 8 Chantry Way. This striking colour photograph shows a celebration window for the Andover Carnival’s 50th anniversary and is a real explosion of musical tastes and artefacts from that 50-year period. Threshold’s first shop was in Cobham in Surrey and was connected to The Moody Blues, whose 1969 album ‘On the Threshold of a Dream’ gave the shop its name.
