A programme from the 1988 BBC series 'Electric Avenue'. This series was a late-night follow on from Micro Live broadcast in 1988/89 and presented by Fred Harris. This episode deals with collecting and using information, in particular retailers and shows early stock control systems and EPOS in use. Full of 80's nostalgia! This programme is owned by the BBC.
@wartmiller I always hated that because I pretty much knew that my record purchases weren't having any effect on the charts. I was only a kid though! Doesn't quite seem so important now, which is ironic given that the chart is much more accurate now, utilising downloads etc.

So they based the chart from data from 700 of 4000 record stores - pretty high margin for error there.. :-/
