My dad was a district manager for TG&Y, the same company Billy mentions in
his post on the subject. I bought many many records at TG&Y over the
years, particularly out of the bargain bin, where they had such treasures
as all of Badfinger's Apple albums and the rest of the non-Beatles Apple
catalogue. I also bought a couple of albums on Stax through there. That
fact coupled with the fact that the covers of #1 RECORD and RADIO CITY
looked strangely familiar to me when I finally bought them in high school
leads me to believe that both those albums were frequently seen in the TG&Y
bargain bins, which I now view as one of the major missed opportunities of
my life, up there with being too dense to figure out until a year or so
later that Kristin Hollingshead was totally hitting on me in 7th grade
social studies.
