TCB didn't fail. The others that you mentioned did, however.

The Record Rack At 3109 South Shepherd Dr.

Music quality was exceptionally high in the 70's and 80's, then went downhill thereafter. The combination of deteriorating quality and technology that enabled easy duplication unfortunately put record stores into a death spiral. I spent a lot of time at Cactus Records and the Record Rack and as a result I still have a great collection of both albums and singles that goes back to about 1964. Fortunately I never got into tapes.
