Independent label: Beanos was a Label of Record store in Croydon that released a few records, closed in 2009 Former Address: Beano's, 27 Surrey Street, Croydon, Surrey. It managed two singles. It issued singles in BEAN-0 numerical series. Distributed By Beanos Records. Beanos was a second-hand record shop, once the largest in Europe, located in the South London suburb of Croydon. It was founded by musician David Lashmar in 1975 and continued to expand through three increasingly larger shops, ending up in an old printing works in Middle Street in the 1990s. After over thirty years of trading, Beanos faced the threat of closure in 2006, although the immediate threat was averted by concentrating the store's focus on rare vinyl records, rather than compact discs which were being undercut by large music chains and supermarkets. Lashmar also closed the top two floors as a cost-cutting measure. However, in November 2008 Lashmar announced that the store would have to close by the end of the year as sales had not picked up, and the shop closed in July 2009 after another dealer bought the stock.
