The countries finest chain of record shops can no longer sustain its business model of squeezing margins to make buying CD's cheaper than iTunes, and DVD's cheaper than renting.

RIP Fopp.

I remember being kind of sad when Tower Records shut down. I used to spend a ton of time there.

Tower Records was a great place to hang around. I surely do agree RB.

There was one (Tower records) in Birmingham I used to go to. Was a bit overpriced, so wasn't surprising when they closed down. Nice atmos in there though, so I often spent quite some time digging the crates whilst the missus was in H&M around the corner.
