New Beach Boys Target Exclusive

[lee]

They had the shirt/vinyl bundles at my Target but didn't have the Beach Boys one. They had all the other bundles (Hendrix, Miles, Beatles, etc. ) but they all are XL shirts. Sucks because I really wanted the Miles set.

They were located in the music section on a back endcap that was facing the "budget" dvd wall.

It might make more sense to carry them in the men's section where Target sell graphic t-shirts.  Most of the audience for that type of thing will be men and these shirts are sized and cut for them, of course (and women who are into the Beach Boys would read about it on fan sites and if they wanted it, they'd know what department in the store to go to).  The vinyl record is just a cute retro bonus for those who aren't into vinyl. I think people who are into Hendrix and the Beach Boys aren't that likely to be hanging out in the Target CD section since it caters more to fans of current mainstream music.  It may be missed out on if they don't even advertise it or sell it on their website.

I was told by a clerk who took the time to look it up that it's carried by SUPER Target stores, at least in the Galveston-Houston area, not the smaller ones. He said it is available online.

I finally made it to Target this weekend and got my copy of the 7" single/t-shirt pack. Such a relief since I had previously been unable to find the 45 at a brick and mortar store. I had been curious reading previous posts what the set looked like in the box so I thought I'd post a picture.



And here's the endcap display.




There were a lot of cool sets there. If I had more money, I might have bought the Dylan, Cash, and Beatles' "Hello Goodbye" sets. It's such a trip to see 45s at Target!

They should do a Good Vibrations box and t-shirt. The 45 rpm cover would look great on a t-shirt. A  new release of the record would be cool, too.

For those of you who already have the TWGMTR 45 and also pick up the box you can use a fine glue or paste and place the 45 cover (your extra copy) on to the box. It covers up that Target tag and looks great. Looks great on the bookshelf or stereo cabinet. Nice display item.

I remember seeing a large 15 Big Ones cardboard display at a National Record Mart back in 1976. It was right in the front of the store as you walked in. Unfortunately most of those display pieces ended up in the garbage dumpster.  I wish I had that display piece now.

Target is selling turntables in their electronics department. They have a red colored Crosley turntable that has built in speakers. It also can be plugged into a stereo system. Best Buy carries a nice Sony turntable.

Vinyl Rules and will not die!

I bought it, but I'm pretty confident I will never wear this shirt.  WAY too big.  Why is it called L/XL?  Isn't it one or the other?  By the looks of it, it's an XL.  I usually wear Small or Medium.

The whole thing seems to be a ploy to get rid of excess XL shirts.
