MOON RECORDING STUDIO
RECORDS
Moon
Recording Studios Records was a DIY
label. It managed one single. This Record Was Made By Beanos Record
Store Croydon. It issued singles in an MOON-000 numerical series Limited
edition of 1000 copies. Beanos was a second-hand record shop, once the largest
in Europe, located in the South London suburb of Croydon. It was founded by
David Lashmar in 1975 (a former member of the short-lived British musical group
Dead Sea Fruit) and continued to expand through three increasingly larger shops
ending up in an old printing works in Middle Street during the 1990s. After over
thirty years of trading, Beanos faced the threat of closure in 2006, although
the immediate threat was averted by concentrating the store's focus on rare
vinyl records rather than Compact Discs which were being undercut by large music
chains and supermarkets. However, in November 2008 Lashmar posted a notice on
the website stating the store would have to close after Christmas of that year
as sales had not picked up. The shop finally closed in the Autumn of 2009. Moon
