Rhyner's Record Shop was one of the oldest record shop operating in Trinidad and Tobago, on Prince Street, Port of Spain. It was founded in 1938 by Mr. Hilton Rhyner, who ran the store until his death, in 1981. His daughters, Miss Diana Rhyner and Miss Yvonne Rhyner, ran it until 2005, when it closed. Today, it has a duty free store O de Music Shop for travelers at Piarco International Airport, and an online store, which is based in Diego Martin. It sells CDs and records,when specifically requested, of calypso, pop, rock, oldies, vintage, ethnic, and more.
Famous quotes containing the words record and/or shop:
“We have what I would call educational genocide. I’m concerned about learning totally, but I’m immersed in the disastrous record of how many black kids are going into science. They are very few and far between. I’ve said that when I see more black students in the laboratories than I see on the football field, I’ll be happy.”
—Jewel Plummer Cobb (b. 1924)
“While on the shop and street I gazed
My body of a sudden blazed;
And twenty minutes more or less
It seemed, so great my happiness,
That I was blessèd and could bless.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
