There are so many new documentaries these days its hard to keep up. So I could hardly be blamed when I felt as if I had seen this before when someone sent the link. However, thats not the case: the recently released Last Shop Standing looks like a great film, and features some big names discussing the culture. I hope its not too long before it makes its way across the Atlantic!
From the official film website: Last Shop Standing inspired by the book of the same name by Graham Jones
takes you behind the counter to discover why nearly 2000 record shops
have already disappeared across the UK. The film charts the rapid rise
of record shops in the 1960′s, 70′s and 80′s, the influence of the
chart, the underhand deals, the demise of vinyl and rise of the CD as
well as new technologies. Where did it all go wrong? Why were 3 shops a
week closing? Will we be left with no record shops with the continuing
rise of downloading? Hear from over 20 record shop owners and music
industry leaders as well as musicians including Paul Weller, Johnny
Marr, Norman Cook, Billy Bragg, Nerina Pallot, Richard Hawley and Clint
Boon as they all tell us how the shops became and still are a part of
their own musical education, a place to cherish and discover new bands
and new music.
