麻豆约拍

Our Price Records was one of Britain's biggest music retailers offering cut-price albums at over 300 local high street stores. So, why did the chain disappear even before the internet transformed the music industry?

The 麻豆约拍 Business journalist, Sean Farrington, and the entrepreneur, Sam White, examine the retailer's fortunes.

How did it manage to become so successful? And why did it end up 'toast'?

The pair are joined by expert guests including:

-Neil Boote - former commercial director at Virgin Our Price
-Phil Cokell - former marketing director at Chrysalis Records
-Alison Warner who worked at Our Price Records in the 1980s

Produced by Jon Douglas. Toast is a 麻豆约拍 Audio North production for 麻豆约拍 Radio 4 and 麻豆约拍 Sounds.
