Threshold Records was the name of a label and record shop started by The Moody Blues in the 1970s. They eventually opened five shops in Cobham, Andover, Chichester, Birmingham and Swindon.
The original Birmingham shop was on the Stratford Road before it relocated to the Bull Ring Shopping Centre some years later.

Hi, quick comment on the Threshold Record store in the Birmingham Shopping Centre. The Moody Blues bought the ‘Midland Record Centre’ store from my Dad, Geoffrey Tonks back in the early 70’s.My Dad was also running a shop on the Stratford Rd (from 1968) in Shirley, Solihull that traded as the ‘Midland Record Centre’ but as far as I recall, this was not part of the Moody Blues deal. My Dad’s Birmingham shop was a real hang-out for lots of people connected with the Brum music scene and tremendous fun back in those crazy days.
