Last Shop Standing
Whatever happened to the record shop? Not long ago there was one on every high street, but 540 have closed down in the last four years. This book lifts the lid on an industry in tatters. Author Graham Jones has worked at the heart of record retailing since the golden era of the 1980s, he was there during the years of plenty and has witnessed the tragic decline of a business blighted by corruption and corporate greed. Undertaking a tour of the last remaining independent record shops in Britain, Jones has collected a wealth of entertaining stories that explain why the best are still standing and how the worst of them blew it.
