An announcement for Jones's "The Music Store" in the form of a small found or readymade souvenir electric guitar. The Music Store was a combination studio/living space that Jones "opened" on North Moore St. in New York City when he returned from Europe in 1970. In an interview six months before his death in 1992, Jones descirbed the Music Store: "The Music Store was situated in North Moore Street, and I used the space as my studio and as my sleeping room. i.e. not a space for the public, only on special occasions. Outdoors I had installed several door bells - there were seven. Pressing the buttons of these bells people could start the music machines, which I had set up in the window. By pressing the button everyone could do his own music, day and night long."
