Established address[edit]

Was it really established at 110 "and a half" ? That is a pretty unusual address in itself. Ga rr ie 23:42, 16 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Reliable cite from [1] - don't know if unusual at the time or what the half signifies--Arktos ^talk 00:11, 17 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

A Telling Glimpse at A & R Business Practices[edit]

Perhaps this behind-the-scenes glimpse at A & R practices ought to be noted somewhere? You can draw your own conclusion concerning how prevalent it might be, or what it might mean for the reading public. http://blogs.smh.com.au/entertainment/archives/undercover/014948.html

2007 dispute[edit]

Would love to know how this turned out. And does anyone have any info on the 13 years since then?

A recent editor has deleted some sections because they lacked references, but therefore removing key sections that lessen continuity. Will restore these sections shortly, adding the required references. Kookaburra17 11:02, 25 September 2020 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kookaburra17 (talk • contribs)

"Pitt St Mall" Photo[edit]

I cannot prove, but having spent hours there in childhood deeply believe that the photo captioned "Angus & Robertson franchise store, Pitt Street Mall, Sydney, 2005." taken by @Maxim75 is actually of the Angus & Robertson store on the ground floor of Westfield Shoppingtown Burwood. I have reviewed recent photos of the lot, currently occupied by the fashion retailer 'Dotti' which confirm that the permanent fixtures surrounding the store are the same.
