Masons Music Record Shop Bag
This bag was designed by ‘John Wilde’. I wanted something that covered all the different musical tastes we catered for. At the time we were selling to lots of Mods, Psychobilly, Punks, Rock etc. I think he did an excellent job of getting the image right.

Thanks to Chris Meachen for sending this to me. I think this was when I supported ‘Principle Edwards Magic Theatre’. This is a very early Johnny Mason picture which I was a bit shocked to see. Also its me in the poster on the console. Now anyone got the photos of me wearing my stage gear of blonde wig, glam make up and black cloak?
