Fallout Records (8)

Fallout was started in July, 1984 by Russ Battaglia and Bruce Pavitt, and originally sold skateboards as well as records. After Bruce left to pursue other interests, Russ's wife Janet stepped in. The two of them ran the store, eventually dropping the skateboards and adding a selection of books and comics, until September of 1999, when long-time (since 1986) on-&-off employee Tim Hayes took the helm and ran the store until its closing in February of 2003. Tim kept the old Fallout spirit going while making some changes and enhancements. Fallout took pride in providing an outlet for independently produced music, zines & comics, and continually expanding our offerings to additional genres like jazz, soul, and soundtracks.
