Annoying lack of detail here. Somehow I think it’s more complicated than this (not least Beat Street’s long history of selling boots). For at least a year the bins have been half-empty.
However, I never saw a record store like it. I bought a new vinyl copy of Purple Rain there, with the original poster inside, for $7.99.
(In 2003)
It was kind of depressing to walk in there towards the end.
I will miss that new-ish reggae room with massive sound system.
Still record stores like it though...namely Rock-n-Soul. Is Music Factory on Fulton still open?
last time i was in music factory the vinyl has been relegated to the upstairs and sat on a 30 foot by 5 foot table stacked the wrong way in a giant cube. impossible to look through, mostly puff daddy type stuff anyway, and they still were charging $4-$5 a pop.

yeah, i remember that Beat Street soundsystem with the hanging speakers.
if they closed shop in october (according to the article), why this long until the article? weird.
