Record Shop Spotting

[Mike]

just me or do others spot record shops on the telly or films

i walked into front room and saw that sue had paused the tv (uk cis programme) when answering the phone

and there on the screen was a sort of deserted run down street scene with a shop with no name that looked like it was permanently closed and the front window plastered with lps (or 12s) with no covers

all a bit surreal given the chances of pausing on just that spot

a more normal recent "spot" was one in "kill the irishman" i guess filmed in cleveland

I do, in fact sometimes I watch films just to see the shops, cars, clothes - these are of course films from circa 1965 to 1975. Probably why I've got many rubbish films.

Had 'Barbershop' on Sky last night (can't say I was watching it, it was just background noise) and one of the shops in the same row as said barbershop was an old record shop.

What caught my interest was the Soul / Motown / Funk / Reggae signwritten on it's exterior.

A bunch of random old soul guys are in Barbershop, just because it has a lot of older Chicago guys in it. One of the Mandells and one of the Auditions are in it for example. I wouldn't be surprised if more soul guys were in it.
