Footlight Records closing store, going Internet only
After 30 years in business specializing in soundtracks, cast recordings and vocals, Footlight Records is closing its store at 113 E. 12th Street and going Internet only.
In 2003, New York Magazine described it this way: n a typical Sunday at Footlight Records, you’ll see hipsters snatching up Italian lounge CDs, hip-hop artists trolling for new beats among the vinyl movie soundtracks, seniors browsing through the Broadway cast recordings, a Liza impersonator scoring Cabaret on DVD. Since the 27-year-old East Village landmark fills niches that the chains ignore, its sales haven’t been hurt much by Tower or Virgin—the latter even refers customers here for imports.
The doors will close sometime in July, with a close-out sale on now through July 3rd.
