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 are at war with the most dangerous enemy that has ever faced mankind in his long climb from the swamp to the stars, and it has been said if we lose that war, and in so doing lose this way of freedom of ours, history will record with the greatest astonishment that those who had the most to lose did the least to prevent its happening.”
—Ronald Reagan (b. 1911)
“A mound of refuse or the sweepings of a street,
Old kettles, old bottles, and a broken can,
Old iron, old bones, old rags, that raving slut
Who keeps the till. Now that my ladder’s gone,
I must lie down where all the ladders start,
In the foul rag-and-bone shop of the heart.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
