Turning Down the Volume: Rhino Record Exec Picks Up Sedate UWS Co-op for $2.35 M.
Since the piratical ravages of Napster, folks in the traditional recording industry have often felt themselves embattled.

But cash flowing to record companies from such digital innovations has been enough only to partially stanch the bleeding. Still, the good old days were very good indeed.

The couple's ambitions in the New York City property game seem to be a bit more modest. They've just nabbed a co-op at 200 West 79th Street for $2.35 million, according to city records.
