EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of London's vibrant music scene in 2012. Standing proudly on Hanway Street in Marylebone, the iconic "On The Beat" record shop is showcased in all its glory. Its exterior exudes a timeless charm, drawing passersby into a world where vinyl records reign supreme. The image transports us back to an era when physical music formats were cherished and sought after. On The Beat stands as a testament to the enduring love for music and the importance of independent record stores within communities. Its presence on this bustling street adds character and soul to the surrounding area. The photograph beautifully showcases the shop's storefront, adorned with colorful posters and album covers that entice any true music lover passing by. It serves as a visual reminder of how these shops were not just places to purchase records but also gathering spots for like-minded individuals who shared their passion for music. Chris Redgrave skillfully captures every detail, from the handwritten signage to reflections on the windowpane, creating an immersive experience that transports viewers directly onto Hanway Street itself. This print is more than just a snapshot; it encapsulates a moment frozen in time—a tribute to both On The Beat Records and London's rich musical heritage. It invites us to reminisce about days spent flipping through stacks of vinyl while immersing ourselves in melodies that have stood the test of time.
