>>Ahh. Funny, I've never connected the name of the store chain with the painting. Actually, I've never noticed the logo on any of the stores here either. I'm not saying it's not there, just that I've never noticed it. I've only noticed it here, as a logo, on the RCA label. The painting originally started in England as the logo for 'The Gramophone Company'.

Oh, certainly. Being a lover of old, old music (1920s and 30s) I tend to gather up useless information about the music of that time. Nipper is one of those useless facts.
