EXHIBIT 99.1

Board of Directors and Stockholders
Spec's Music, Inc. and Subsidiary
Miami, Florida

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Spec's Music,
Inc. and Subsidiary (the "Company") as of July 31, 1997 and 1996, and the
related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders' equity,
and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended July 31, 1997.
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial statements based on
our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of Spec's Music, Inc. and Subsidiary
as of July 31, 1997 and 1996, and the results of their operations and their cash
flows for each of the three years in the period ended July 31, 1997 in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
