Matt's Record Bar — Provenance

Kaieteur News (Owner Matt Baptiste announces the Regent St shop (opened 1972 at Robb St/Avenue of the Republic, later at 93 Regent St) will close permanently 'in a fortnight' as she retires to Florida; calls it one of Guyana's longest-running retail enterprises.) September 2020
Guyana Chronicle (Retrospective column written entirely in past tense ('Matt's was...', 'I miss Matt's') a year after the closure announcement, confirming the shop was gone by this date; no indication of reopening under new ownership.) October 2021
Google Maps (Listing still shows regular hours (Mon-Sat 08:30-17:30, matching the old recordstores.love/vinylworld.org entries) but a review states plainly 'This place is permanently closed'; no recent (post-2020) corroborating activity found on the business's Facebook page (matts.recordbar), which still displays only its old CDs/DVDs description with no dated posts.)
