Maganlal Jethalal Shah

Co-owner of CMS (3) until he left after falling out with his business partner Meghji Karman Shah. He then set up August Gramophones Stores as both a music store and a recording and producing operation, in the same street as CMS (3), Nairobi’s River Road. The former partners became fierce rivals until CMS (3) was sold to Joseph Kamaru in 1968 and Maganlal Jethalal Shah decided to wind up AGS due to dwindling sales caused by cassette piracy.
