The neighborhood record store and hub at 1832 Coventry Rd., Cleveland Heights, will close its doors for the final time after 5 p.m. today (Saturday).
CLEVELAND HEIGHTS, Ohio -- It was supposed to come to an end at the end of 2022. But Record Revolution, the independent record store and Coventry neighborhood mainstay for more than a half-century, will continue to revolve through the first week of 2023.
“Of course, it’s an emotional rollercoaster. But I did all my crying when I was standing around all day, and nobody was in here. That’s when I cried,” Pryor said, as a playlist of songs with “Revolution” in their titles played in a loop.For much of its 55 years, Record Revolution was not just a cool place to buy new, used, and rare imported records and various kinds of clothing, paraphernalia, and other sundry items.
”Loved the import record section. Back in the ‘70s, the Saturday after every payday was spent at the Revolution!!” one admirer recalled.”Wow. Truly the end of an era. It was a rite of passage as a teen to drive down and shop there. Thank you for the fond memories, and I still have my red sunglasses shaped like lips that I bought there in 1980.”
“I’m the longest-running independent record store in the entire country. Rock and Roll Hall of Fame city. It’s happening right here. Black-owned and all this stuff, right? Nobody gives a [darn] until you say, `You know what? I’m done.” Pryor said. But even among the mixed feelings and changing times, Record Revolution has been a part of more than half of Pryor’s life.
“If I could’ve done a third of the business I’ve done in the last month. Then I’d probably be open still,” Pryor said, noting that a final December batch of branded Record Revolution t-shirts and hoodies sold out in a couple of days.
