Woollies is to stop selling singles which looks like the on going story of the slow decline of record selling on the high street.
However it was only after researching a recent flea market find did I find out that for a time woollies not only sold but also made records. Their label (as some of you probably) know as Embassy it seemed to specialise in covers or transatlantic knock offs.
Anyway apart from their own label I’m sure many people here bought stuff from woollies; I know I use have it on my tour of the records shops on Saturday morning and if the price was right I would buy stuff there.
What did people get amongst the pick and mix?
Did anyone get anything esoteric?
Here’s an good site for more on Embassy records
My find was by Jaybirds it’s sub “that’ll be the day” fare but interesting none the less.

But at least they are still stocking 'one off event singles' like the X Factor winner. Thank God for that. I was almost worried there for a moment.
I mainly used Woolworths for 50p albums MFP, Hallmark, Top Of The Pops knock offs etc..but did seem to have a few bits from the Winfield line though sketch books, tracing paper etc..
I always dreaded getting a Woolworths voucher for Christmas/birthday
