record shops in the movies (4 of ??)

i could swear there's a longer one in Billy Liar when Billy himself goes in the shop (with his young co-worker friend as played by Rodney Bewes)

record stores in the movies (#1 of ???)

Starting at 15.55 seconds in....

Of course what we record fiend / rock-history nuts dig is not the battle between rival factions of telepaths....  the impact of the car smashing through the store front window.... the bloodshed and explosions....  no, it's the posters in the background for new releases by Herman Brood and Nick Lowe and Atlanta Rhythm Section and Robert Gordon and Village People  and XTC and Ian Dury Do It Yourself. The copies of Zappa's Sheik Yerbouti in the rack. And that little RSO promotional inflatable cow hanging from the ceiling, that starts getting licked by flames. All the period markers of North American record industry / record retail at the arse end of the Seventies.


Disc-O-Mat was a real chain of discount music stores in New York
