 Last Shop Standing:
Whatever Happened to Record Shops? - By Graham Jones
Last Shop Standing lifts the lid on an area of the music industry in tatters – a sad but true tale of the decline of record shops and their beloved vinyl too. The author, Graham Jones has worked at the heart of the record industry since the golden 1980s. He was there during the fruitful retail years and has witnessed the tragic decline of a business blighted by corruption and corporate greed.
Undertaking a final tour of the last remaining independent record shops in Britain, Graham has collected a wealth of entertaining stories that explain why the best are still standing, and how the worst of them blew it.

I grew up in Yeovil in the 1970s. Yeovil did not have much going for it. Apart from Acorn Records.
Acorn records was run, as are most independent record stores, by a couple of silent & unsmiling blokes who seemed to know something about pretty much every record that had ever been released. My friends & I used to hang out there at lunchtime & after school on most days. Sometimes one of us even had enough money to buy a record. But Acorn Records was more than a place to just buy records. You would go down there to hear whatever music was playing in the shop, to argue with your friends about the relative merits of different bands, & to flick endlessly through the record racks.
Yeovil did not have much going for it. Without Acorn Records, it would have had nothing. Every town needs an independent record store.
