It's as old as me! LOL Looks good! When I was a kid we had Impact Records. It was a music shop but sold t-shirts, comic boos and other cool stuff. Now it's just Impact Comics, which is still really cool but a lot smaller than what it used to be.

Actually this reminds me of a movie one of my cousins was showed me. I forget what it was called but you could tell it was trying to be a nostalgic - comedy about a popular music store in danger of being closed down.....it did nothing for me though. LOL It was....okay but not as great as what I thought it should be

Hmmmm.....I don't think so. To the best of my memory (which isn't very good) one of the Baldwin's was in it and played the manager for the store. The movie wasn't terribly impressionable.

i think Empire records might be the film you're possibly thinking of.

Yep, it's nice to post a comment not get snobbed off or instead...reprimanded. LOL But referring to the original documentary mentioned in this post, it does sound really interesting. Closest thing we have in Canberra is Impact Records (as mentioned). It's still around and been here since the 80's! Though sadly it went from being a small comic book/music in the 80's to a big comic book/music shop in 2003 and then shrunk back into a small comic book shop. Not sure if they sell CD's any more.... 😒

I just read my respons from 2021, Impact (our iconic store) just sells comics, graphic novels and paraphernalia. Not what it used to be but still impressive. What we do have is an iconic store that's been around since 2003 (as long as I know), Landspeed records! They sell alternative CDs, t-shirts and even records! I managed to buy a Korpiklaani album from them (which you can't do in other music stores where I live). Definitely a store worth looking into!
