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.

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 DAY THE MUSIC STORE DIED = when they were no longer jampacked with little promotional statues of nipper imo

that Penny Serenade scene is really cool, thanks

"You're like a plaintiff memory..."

melody, sorry

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.

Tom D I'm pretty sure that's "Smell the Glove" by Spinal Tap, but I'd need a better pic to be sure

just putting this here cuz why not also becuz of prominently displayed copy of Lou's "The Blue Mask"

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.

looks like Blackmarket Records...

and the Penny Serenade shop looks more like a music shop that sells records rather than a record shop, much the same way Rumbelows used to sell records.

It was more the super-refined atmos and quality decor (plus basically no promo past the statue of Nipper) that I was surprised by, not sure why, and I don't recall Rumbelows being quite like that.

Layout-wise this one wouldn't be so different

i suspect but cannot prove that this may be a parody of a very similar scene in the first episode of bruce geller's "mission: impossible" (when adam schiff was still the MI team lead).

hammer into anvil is one of my favorite episodes; there's something very comforting to me about seeing mcgoohan spend an hour straight gaslighting an abusive bully.

god, is that an oktavist she's lip-syncing to? anyway if i was running a music store in 1943 i wouldn't be pushing records too hard myself, what with the recording ban and all! (that's still a little amazing to me, that unions had enough clout to institute a ban on RECORDING ALL MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS for several years straight.)

when did musical instrument stores and record stores become separate entities?

XP - Hammer Into Anvil is the best, such a great episode, for years now I will quote 'it takes a Frenchman' at the drop of a hat.

christ that Rockers scene is so great

xps

Can anyone identify the LP that Martha Plimpton is listening to, in her first scene in Running on Empty? It’s something Africa-related:

This is probably nigh-impossible with the second half of the CD shelf, but it caught my eye. Portishead Portishead is in the first half, along with Dwight Yoakam Live and others. My first time watching!

(if you open image in a new tab, you should be able to see much larger pics)

Squinting my eyes I can just about make out Billie Holiday, Vicente Fernandez, The Afters...

Johnny Cash

The one right before the spherical bookend is Escape by Journey.

Ha! That Johnny Cash is his "Artist's Choice" mix from Starbucks!

Good catch!

I see Aerosmith - Get a Grip in the bottom image

The Afters - Beautiful Love

The Origin - Bend

The Billie Holiday Collection Vol 3

Is the one on the far right top pic Escape by Journey?

Immediately to left of ball that is.

lol @ "You'll Never Get To Heaven", that is some deep easter egg shit

In He's All That – the recent (and not recommended) "gender switch" remake of She's All That – the "outcast" dude who gets a makeover is said to be into "punk music" (or something). In his first scene, he's wearing a NY Dolls T-shirt... later you see him in a Stooges "The Weirdness" tee... and finally he shows up in a GG Allin tee. It's like – OK, we get it.

I knew that one looked familiar!

Franky Perez - Poor Man's Son next to the Billie Holiday.

Cool!

I once watched a Law & Order rerun (circa S4) in which a young suspect had Bullet LaVolta, Unsane, and Mission of Burma posters hanging on his apartment wall.

The June of '44 poster in A Scanner Darkly always freaks me out a bit.

Never noticed until now that Ferris Bueller has a poster in his bedroom of Simple Minds “Don’t You (Forget About Me).” That’s so meta.

I’m watching American Gigolo, it’s pretty boring so far… but at the end of a scene where Richard Gere gets dressed while singing along to The Miracles’ “The Love I Saw in You Was Just a Mirage,” he turns off the stereo and there’s a nice shot of a Grace Jones album and some other records I can’t identify:

(I see now this movie was also mentioned upthread, and also called out as boring, but not this particular scene)
