Back in the LP days, the late Iain Mackintosh had recorded a new album with Kettle Records (Cilla Fisher & Artie Tresize at Kingskettle in Fife. Hoping it would bedome a best-seller, Iain took it to several record stores hoping the would take it up. One of the stores he approached was the ginormous Woolworths that used to be at the east end of Princes Street in Edinburgh. He did get to see the buyer for the record department. The discussion went something like this:-
Iain - "I've recorded this new album, would you be interested in taking a few?"
Buyer - "What label is it on?"
Iain - "Kettle!"
Buyer - "We'll take 500. Do you have one with you?"
Iain (trying to calculate 500x £2.3.6d) - "Here you are!*
Buyer - "Kettle? I thought you said K-Tel! Sorry, no!"
