Our Price Records was one of Britain's biggest music retailers offering cut-price albums at over 300 local high street stores. So, why did the chain disappear even before the internet transformed the music industry?
The BBC Business journalist, Sean Farrington, and the entrepreneur, Sam White, examine the retailer's fortunes.
How did it manage to become so successful? And why did it end up 'toast'?
The pair are joined by expert guests including:
-Neil Boote - former commercial director at Virgin Our Price
Produced by Jon Douglas. Toast is a BBC Audio North production for BBC Radio 4 and BBC Sounds.
