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.

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

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

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 (four years ago) link
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 (four years ago) link
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 (four years ago) link
...also the text on the vu & nico cover would suggest it's a late seventies or eighties reissue

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:

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!

I was coming home on a train about 10 days ago, and saw someone had left a Supreme water bottle on a seat. I was the only one in the car, and thought of taking it, but decided not to. When I got home I googled it (didn't know anything about the brand) and saw that similar bottles retail for $90 or some such ridiculous amount.
