"Back then, the local record shop was a zone of low-level intimidation and fear. Now, it's an emblem of a vanished era. The balance of power has shifted. Hence, as downloading and piracy rip their profitability down to zero and beyond, suddenly we value the few remaining shops as strongholds of authenticity in an industry that has changed beyond recognition. 

continued...On some level, we look at a place like London's Pure Groove, or RPM Records in Newcastle and think, this is how music should be: small-scale, keyed into a local community, independent.
Trouble is, it's a bit late to get misty-eyed about record shops now. They're already screwed. In the UK alone, 540 stores have closed in the last four years. The distribution giant Pinnacle collapsed in 2008, leaving many outlets massively out of pocket." 
 
bad times..
