These are tough times
for record stores, with large chains and independent shops alike folding—Milwaukee is still stinging
from the loss of Atomic Records earlier this year. Instead of withering away in
the tough economy, though, the Exclusive Company has actually expanded, adding
bigger selections of new and used DVDs and the largest selection of new vinyl
in the city. Exclusive’s prices are as impressive as the selection, as they
somehow compete with the artificially low prices of big-box stores and Internet
retailers. No store in the area stocks this much music at prices this low.
