You know the jingle ..... Harvey Harvey ... Harvey Norman....
But can you remember Pertama...??????
If you dunno what I am talking about it's ok.....
For those who are old enough to know, I'm sure Pertama stores ever had a place in your life in one way or another....
I had so much hanging out in the old plaza singapura..... One can find Pertama, Tat Chuan, Atlas, Kingsley and one other shop that sells Sony audio components (ES series even..!!) .... It was like hifi heaven .....!!!
Inside Pertama, they had this wall of speakers ready for demo anytime simply by pressing a few buttons ..... Everything was wired up together and it was soooo easy for the salesperson....... And I was always so excited when looking at all the Mission speakers, Wharfedale speakers, Celestion speakers ... They also have Denon amplifiers, Sony amplifiers, Pioneer amplifiers etc.... Maybe Sansui even......
Another highlight was their advertisements in the papers..... Sometimes they would have good offers for their audio components.... Even though I can't afford any of those beautiful things, it was nice just to daydream .... Hmmmm
Life was truly simple back then.... No 5.1 no surround sound no DVD ..... Only LPs and cassette tapes; even CDs were new kids on the block ...
Ahhhhhhh those were the days.....
