The owners of Glenelg based record store Krypton Discs announced via Facebook this week that the 2011 ARIA awarded Retailer of the Year is set to close at the end of April.
Adelaide record store numbers have obviously dwindled in recent years as the economic effects of the decline in physical sales becomes more evident. Already the city has lost iconic chains Big Star and The Muses, while Mr V Music in the CBD has also closed. While some of slack has been picked up by specialised stores Clarity Records, Wax Museum and Title, the closure of Krypton represents the demise of the last sizeable independent music store in Adelaide.
