i grew up in a record store family - my aunt and uncle owned a chain and i'd work there off and on as a teenager - i saw their's crumble too over the last 15 years, they were already dying before the Internet got popular because of the huge combination video/music stores like Towers and Virgin cut margins to next to nothing - i can still smell the original store - weed, incense and that smell that albums used to have. they did make a fortune during the heydays - i remember the first store cost 15,000 dollars back somewhere in the mid 70's that relatives loaned them.
