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 ???
