Re: Bob Henrit and Simmons

2007-09-14 by Phil Murray

A great book, lots of interesting information. Apparently Abbey Mill
is now a very expensive apartment block...

Just one mistake I've found, I think they've got the photos of the V1
and V2 Clap Traps (analogue) the wrong way round though, as the "V2"
they refer to I have one badged Musicaid so surely that must be the
V1 ???

And does anyone know the history of Simmons from around 1988-1999,
locations, sale of company, buyback, products ???
