HAMPDEN'S SILENCE - 1970

Largs, in Whitehall Street, were Dundee's sole ticket outlet for a rock & pop music festival at Hampden Park in June 1970.
The event called "Scene '70" was organised by bandleader, Harry Margolis, and announced in February that year, but unfortunately, the festival was cancelled just a couple of days before the big day.

LARG'S LISTENING BOOTHS - 1960

Larg's in Whitehall Street, in the 60's, had listening booths near to their record dept. When you wanted to find out what the latest tune in the charts sounded like, they would put the record on the turntable, let you know what booth number it was playing in and in you'd go for a wee listen before deciding whether to buy it or not.
The snap here was taken in Feb 1960 and Anthony Newley was at the #1 spot in the UK charts with his track "Why" for the entire month!
