rich koch

Earlier this morning I had the chance to have Rich Koch, owner and operator of Off the Record, on "The Big Show" to talk about the store's retirement sale, potential buyers of the iconic record shop, Mariners baseball, and how the store and record industry has evolved over the past 30 years.

For 29 years, Off The Record, 901 Summitview Ave., has been providing music lovers of all genres a local place to listen, peruse and buy LPs, casettes, CDs, posters, T-shirts and more of their favorite musicians and bands. It was with a heavy heart that I received the news that they soon will close their doors for good.
