It's a shame to see this happen - but with Amazon and other e-commerce perhaps inevitible.

Hans Bleeker's son Steve took on this business as a new start up in the 1980s just as CDs started to replace LPs and tapes as the dominate format.

It seems like I've grown up along with Steve all these years. Their annual boxing day sale was an event never to be missed. And the service was always second to none. Although I felt that they never quite recovered when they let Grant walk from the classical music section.

They will be missed.
I agree, and I'm also amazed that they lasted this long.
