The man behind Record Store Day has been forced to shut up shop.
Eric Levin, who founded the day to help promote independent record stores, will close Criminal Records in Atlanta, Georgia in November (11), according to the Atlanta Journal Constitution.
Levin says, "We've been underwater since the economy became distressed. We've been on a rescue mission for three years. I'm done paying for it by myself.
"I gave myself until the 20th anniversary and if I was still drowning by August 2011, I'd pull the plug."
