A long-running record store in Norwich has been forced to close after 30 years amid the impact of rising costs and the owner's ill health.
Fine City Sounds in Pottergate is planning a huge 'everything must go' sale in April and will offer big discounts on its vast selection of records.
Owner Mark Long, who has been running the business for the last 18 years after taking it over from Paul Fisher, said it has been a "fantastic" experience and was sad to close.
He said: "It has been absolutely fantastic and I've met some amazing people and made some amazing memories.
"It is really sad we are having to close but it came to a point where there was no other choice."

Fine City Sounds has been keeping music lovers happy for more than 30 years with its large selection of vinyl and CDs covering a range of genres.
The store has been visited by a number of famous faces over the years, with musician Jools Holland, actor John Hurt and Baywatch star David Hasselhoff among those who have visited.
Mr Long has been unable to work in the shop for the last two years due to health reasons with business partner Andrew Watson taking over the reins.
He added: "As well as my health, the cost of everything that has made it difficult to keep going.
"The running costs are so high right now that every time we open the doors it costs a big amount of money."
Mr Long is planning to hold a big sale in April in order to get rid of all their stock, with all LPs on offer for £3 a piece and six singles for £10.
The sale will take place on Friday, April 7, and Saturday, April 8, and will be open from 10am.
