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:
“The history of the world is the record of the weakness, frailty and death of public opinion.”
—Samuel Butler (1835–1902)
“A generation which has passed through the shop has absorbed standards and ambitions which are not of those of spaciousness, and cannot get away from them. Everything with them is done as though for sale, and they naturally have in view the greatest possible benefit, profit and that end of the stuff that will make the best show.”
—Alexander Herzen (1812–1870)
