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

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

peace, man, Monday, 28 January 2019 15:06 (seven years ago)

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

Tim, Monday, 28 January 2019 15:29 (seven years ago)

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

enochroot, Monday, 28 January 2019 15:29 (seven years ago)

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.

Tim, Monday, 28 January 2019 15:36 (seven years ago)

Wow, this one is really paying off.

peace, man, Monday, 28 January 2019 15:48 (seven years ago)

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.

is that a real record? seems unlikely

sleeve, Monday, 28 January 2019 18:18 (seven years ago)

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.

flappy bird, Monday, 28 January 2019 18:22 (seven years ago)

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.

VU is the only anomaly, no?

flappy bird, Monday, 16 December 2019 18:34 (six years ago)

VU & Nico came out in early '67, so no.

a bevy of supermodels, musicians and Lena Dunham (C. Grisso/McCain), Monday, 16 December 2019 18:37 (six years ago)

I think they all line up for the time period. Mitch Glazer co-wrote the screenplay, and had previously written for Rolling Stone and Crawdaddy so I'm guessing he had a hand in making sure it was accurate (though skewed with hindsight).

city worker, Monday, 16 December 2019 20:10 (six years ago)

oh yeah Scrooged takes place in NYC. VU & Nico wouldn't have been in every record store in America like the rest.

flappy bird, Tuesday, 17 December 2019 01:42 (six years ago)

The weird thing is that it's still in the window in late '68...and that 1968 Bill Murray looks just like 1988 Bill Murray.

a bevy of supermodels, musicians and Lena Dunham (C. Grisso/McCain), Tuesday, 17 December 2019 01:45 (six years ago)

...also the text on the vu & nico cover would suggest it's a late seventies or eighties reissue

That "Peggy Sue" scene is a great one.

I wouldn't really recommend watching PENNY SERENADE (1941) but the record store scene is kind of amazing: was that what record shops were like in 1941? Runs from about 3.30 here:

The Prisoner, Episode 15, "The Girl Who Was Death"

Potter tells Number 6 he is to go to Booth 7 in the Magnum Record shop to receive his instructions. Magnum Record was a fictitious business created for the story. The exterior of the store was shot at 187 Shenley Road, Borehamwood, now a Barnardo's thrift store.

Number 6 receives his mission message from a record played at the Magnum Record shop.

Load up your rubber wallets (Tom D.), Tuesday, 25 February 2020 13:42 (six years ago)

There's another scene involving buying records in Episode 10, "Hammer Into Anvil".

Having left the Green Dome, Number 6 observes the posters in the bay window of the General Stores. “Music begins where words leave off,” “Music says all,” And “Music makes for a quiet mind.” He enters the General Stores, selects a copy of The Tally Ho, then examining the sleeves of a selection of LP records, he selects the Davier recording of Bizet’s L’arlesienne and wants to hear it, well all six copies of the record as a matter of fact. But surely they are all the same!

The 400 Blows had a record store scene, iirc.

The first gal with whom Cary Grant interacts in that "Penny Serenade" scene = the "High Fidelity" clerk of that era.

I think so, because there's confirmation in The Miracle of Morgan's Creek (1943), where in an early scene Betty Hutton is a clerk at a record store which looks a lot like the one in Penny Serenade - sheet music gets a lot of display space, and they sell musical instruments on the side. The clerk plays the records for you.

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.
