discophile

After Discophile closed, Mr. Jolowicz held various jobs in and out of music.

Writing in The New York Times shortly before Discophile closed, Tim Page called it "possibly the finest record store in the world."

The loss of Music Masters will be most acutely felt by fans of opera and musical theater, particularly since the only other store that catered so thoroughly to them - Discophile, in Greenwich Village - closed its doors for similar reasons in 1984.
