Watch: Last Shop Standing documentary teaser

Exploring some of the UK’s most beloved record stores, ‘Last Shop Standing’ is a 60-minute documentary film that isn’t due for release until the summer but you can watch a clip of what is to come right now. Talking to the employees at Rough Trade East, Sister Ray, Rounder and Resident the teaser explores the trials and tribulations of running an independent record store.

Based on a book of the same name by Graham Jones, the ‘Last Shop Standing’ documentary is a collaboration between Proper Music Publishing Ltd and Blue Hippo Media. The film promises to be “a celebration of the unique spirit of comradeship and entrepreneurial ingenuity that has enabled so many shops to keep operating successfully against the backdrop of massive changes in the music industry, the biggest recession in years, the growth of online file sharing, and the explosion of choice in music consumption.”
