lol I don't recognize a single thing in that store

was surprised at how bad + boring that movie is when I watched it last year tbh

Also spotted in that Hannah scene: big promo for Barry Gibb's solo record. That and the poster for D'Jran D'Jran's Arena would put filming in late '84.

lol @ this one

my god, even their record sleeves were drab and colorless

Can't images or a clip, but there's that bit in The Man Who Fell To Earth where Rip Torn walks past a display of Bowie albums in a record store.

love those stills, thanks J

Pretty off-topic, but I’m watching Sixteen Candles — a cassette of Talking Heads’ Fear of Music is seen (but not heard) playing in the party scene.

Before Sunrise had a record store in Vienna called Alt & Neu:

It's a real record shop as well.

I Want Someone To Eat Cheese With had a scene shot in Atomic Records IIRC

alas i have no screencaps

Only things I recognize off the bat are Introducing the Hardline According to Terence Trent D'Arby, Madman Across the Water, and Cats.

Oh, and Darkness on the Edge of Town.

Payolas' "Hammer On A Drum" is on the far left there

Andreas Vollenweider White Winds and the Kristofferson/Streisand soundtrack for A Star is Born.

Payolas! I was trying to figure that out like, "Crayolas? Loyolas?"

The light grey one with a picture of Anne Murray is "Anne Murray's Greatest Hits".

The Fixx Reach the Beach is next to the Elton John record.

haha xp Between "Introducing the Hardline According to Terence Trent D'Arby" and "Madman Across the Water" is "Reach The Beach" by The fix (I think). And I reckon the one second from theleft in that row is "Anytime... Anywhere" by Rita Coolidge.

Wow, this one is really paying off.

The other side of Madman is another Elton LP, Victim of Love.

It took me a while to figure it out, but yellow dress in the first pic is Larger Than Life by Jody Watley.

wtf is on those horizontally stacked shelves in the Before Sunrise shot?

(T-)Shirts?

I guessed it was sheet music.

The Man Who Fell to Earth (1976)

http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-xEydCkbSnIk/VJT29l5uPwI/AAAAAAAAfxs/_UiWlZmpBdA/s1600/38.%2Bthe%2Bvisitor.png

is that a real record? seems unlikely

no. but, Jim O'Rourke did name his 2009 album after it.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1z-kjSKaP0I

but that was the only photo I could find of the final scene, which takes place in a record shop.

XP That's the album Bowie's character releases. As I pointed out upthread, Torn passes a display for Young Americans in the same scene.

This Christmas 1968 scene in Scrooged. In the window display (from different camera angles): Kinks, Moby Grape, Buffalo Springfield, Jerry Lee Lewis, The Velvet Underground, Rolling Stones, The Zombies, The Electric Flag, Hair soundtrack and some others I can't quite make out.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u40rjU0r7oU

VU is the only anomaly, no?

Wow, great finds everyone. Any idea why so many of these are Capitol LPs? I suppose it could be as simple as the label just paying for displays in the shop.

I wish I could know who was doing the art direction for Capitol LPs in the late 50s/early 60s...I've developed a real soft spot for some of them and while the styles are not as immediately identifiable as Blue Note or maybe Prestige...the covers across all genres from that time are pretty impressive and not just linked to one style.

now I'm searching for popular Capitol LPs from 1960, lol

some history of this era of the label from wiki:

In 1957, EMI's classical label Angel was merged into Capitol. Some classical recordings were issued in high fidelity and stereophonic sound. These included William Steinberg and the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra, Leopold Stokowski with various orchestras (including the Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra) and Sir Thomas Beecham and the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, as well as light classical albums by Carmen Dragon and the Hollywood Bowl Orchestra and albums of film music conducted by Hollywood composers such as Alfred Newman.

In the realm of "Sweet Jazz" big-band music, Capitol also joined forces with the bandleader Guy Lombardo starting in the mid 1950s to issue a series of approximately thirty recordings until the late 1960s.[13]

The Capitol of the World series introduced in 1956 and active into the 1970s encompassed German Beer Drinking Songs, Honeymoon in Rome, Australian Aboriginals, and Kasongo! Modern Music of the Belgian Congo. Many were produced by Dave Dexter Jr. This series contained over 400 albums. It was also in this period that Capitol issued Christmas music recordings from various countries outside the United States.[14][15] In the 1960s Capitol established subsidiary labels including Tower Records. Capitol was the US distributor of the Beatles' Apple Records.

have we gotten the one to the left of Fiorello! yet?

I think the one might be "That Lonely Feeling" by Alvino Rey:

What's a console guitar? What's a string choir?

... and above Little Miss Sunshine (visible through the door) is POW! by Billy May, not a record I'd like to run into on a dark night.

https://i.discogs.com/WZKxaSgsSUP8mBtCnGfT2mOux48AcrbVDqPi9jGfwAs/rs:fit/g:sm/q:90/h:250/w:250/czM6Ly9kaXNjb2dz/LWRhdGFiYXNlLWlt/YWdlcy9SLTQ3NjU0/OTMtMTM3NDgwNzkz/My01MTU5LmpwZWc.jpeg

It looks like Frank Sinatra's No One Cares in the same row as Little Mary Sunshine, to the right

beastie boys 'paul's boutique' just to the right of norrie paramor

xp haha Nick quite so.

Josefa I'd never have got that one. Below it might be "Sands at the Sands" by Tommy Sands:

Sinatra's son-in-law at that time

Take it over to Horrible album titles that pun on the artist's name

checking out Billy May lead me to this amazing sleeve.

fascinating stuff, this really was the era where arrangers were on top of the pile

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billy_May

At Barnet's request, May closely studied the musical language of Barnet's idol, Duke Ellington. May soon developed a harmonic and sonic palette rich with Ellingtonian colors.

...his biggest hit as a composer was the children's song "I Tawt I Taw a Puddy Tat", which he recorded with Mel Blanc in 1950.

how do you guys do this??? truly in awe. beat that, ChatGPT!

they're using albumcoverGPT

Amazing work and amazing cover art. Billy May is giving big Brian Dennehy vibes.

It's a shame Roy Kinnear never got to play Billy May in a dicey British movie.

what i ended up doing was toying around with the filters on Discogs. so for instance i went to the Capitol Records label page, clicked on "1,174,024 copies" to show everything in the marketplace, then filtered by [LP] and [1960] and at that point a lot of the records started showing up as i combed through

Here's the thing that Sleeve thought might be Gone With The Wind: "Out Love Story" by Gordon and Shiela Macrae.

Haunani – Moon Of The Southern Seas

Amazing.

hot dog!

Billy May has 500k monthly Spotify listeners! Probably mostly because of Christmas songs? While I surely ran across him in the bins, I must not have seen any of the records with his face on the cover, 'cuz it woulda stuck.
