The Young Family General Store Welcomes You! Step into the past and read about a family that contributed much to the early history of the village of Stroud and the Township of Innisfil. It's a family that I am proud to be a member of - The Young Family. This site is just starting out so I hope you will bear with me as I add stories and photos to share with you. If you have any comments or stories to share, we would love to hear them. Should you notice any errors or discrepancies in any of the stories you read, please bring them to my attention so they may be corrected. You can email me by at  YoungFamilyGeneralStore@gmail.com .

Assorted 45 rpm Clocks

Image
  These Clocks are made with new clock movements and used 45 rpm, 7" vintage records. Some are very rare and hard to find collectibles from the 1950s to the 1980s.  All clocks can be hung on the wall or displayed on a desk or shelf with an optional stand. A single AA battery is required. (Stands and batteries not included unless otherwise indicated.) The clock movements are secured to the record with the use of a 45 rpm center that was standard of the era. These centers and the clock hands may vary in colour and shape. The record itself may show wear that is typical of a record from this time period. Consider this wear as scars in a fine piece of leather... proof of origin and authenticity of the era from which they come. In some cases the clock hands may be shipped unattached to prevent damage during shipping. Hundreds of titles are available. In addition to the many titles listed separately elsewhere on our site, click the link below to see more, but check back often as more tit

DVD * Elvis Presley * The Trouble With Girls * NEW

Image
Item #:  70-xx Year:  1969 Price:  $5 Running Time: 97 minutes Description: It’s like a carnival midway and a week at some highfalutin East Coast college all in one. The Chautauqua, a travelling 1927 tent show, has come to Radford Center, Iowa. And so has a heap of trouble. In a change-of-pace role, Elvis Presley portrays Walter Hale, the white suited impresario overseeing the Chautauqua’s novelty acts, lectures and close harmonies. The supporting cast is as colourful as the film’s vibrant Americana. Vincent Price’s Mr. Morality holds forth an immorality. John Carradine appears as a nimble-minded Shakespearean actor. Marlyn Mason, Joyce Van Patten, Sheree North, Edward Andrews and Dabney Coleman also star. And Elvis sings as only he can, from the tender ballad Almost to the rousing traditional Swing Low Sweet Chariot and the untraditional rouser Clean Up You Own Backyard.

Beatles Record * Let It Be * 45 rpm * Rare Japanese Release * With Sleeve

Image
  PRICE: Make an offer. #70 This is the Japanese release of “Let It Be” by the Beatles recorded in 1970 and was manufactured by Toshiba-EMI Ltd. Japan.  Both sides indicate the songs were published by “Northern Songs”, founded by Dick James, Brian Epstein, John Lennon and Paul McCartney. Let It Be You Know My Name (Look Up The Number) While Phil Spector was credited as the producer of the album “Let It Be”, the production of both sides of this 45 rpm record were credited to George Martin.  “Let It Be" is backed with “You Know My My Name (Look Up The Number)” which was recorded in 1967. I don’t know how to properly grade records but this one looks pretty fine to me. Click on any of the photos for a larger view and judge for yourself. Let It Be You Know My Name (Look Up The Number) I have been tempted to play this record but I have refrained from doing so. For all I know, this record may have never been played. Who am I to take its virginity? Although this is the Japanese release
