I Need That Record! The Death (Or Possible Survival) Of The Independent Record Store on DVD

Guerilla filmmaker Brendan Toller unleashes “I Need That Record! The Death (or Possible Survival) of the Independent Record Store,” a documentary feature examining why over 3000 independent record stores have closed across the U.S. in the past decade.

Greedy record labels, media consolidation, homogenized radio, big box stores, Ecommerce, shoddy “stars” pushed by big money, and the digital revolution all pose threats on the very well being of our favorite record stores and the music industry at large. Will these stores die? Will they survive?
