Vintage photos of Beach Boys albums and record displays

The Beach Boys and Santana both played Knebworth in 1980.

I never would've thought that Jennifer Connelly would share the screen with The Beach Boys, but in the 1991 film Career Opportunities, it actually happened:




This movie was shot at a Target store in late 1989. It looks like there are not one but possibly two Beach Boys tapes there; they look like cheapie budget compilations which were common back then. I wonder if anybody can make out what specifically they were.

Looks like the Young Einstein soundtrack is there right above Made In USA too.



Roll and rock to the rescue

Interesting. It's entirely possible the stock footage is from 1980 then, despite it being used in a section of the documentary talking about the mid '70s.

That's an awesome discovery.  I saw Young Einstein in the theater in first run when I was a kid.

A classic for sure. Wish some of the repertory houses around here would give it some screen time. By the time I first saw it the soundtrack was rather hard to find. Somehow this came up in front of my 12th grade English teacher years later and he was nice enough to burn a copy for me. Eventually found the cassette at an Ohio Goodwill during a Tim Horton's run.

I need to work on this rambling thing. That wall of tapes from Career Opportunities is a decent seek and find puzzle.

Two things: Looks like The Beach Boys are misplaced in the "movies" section. And that looks like a Capitol cassette of The Beatles "Something New" in the rack under the BB's.

It's an interesting movie, last I checked it was still on Amazon Prime. Not a great film by any means but an interesting time capsule. Honestly probably the worst of the "teenage" films that was scripted by John Hughes, but it still has some cool dated weirdo nuggets about it.

As GF pointed out, I wonder how the tape got misplaced in that section! Perhaps it was somebody who worked in the set dressing department who put it there on purpose if they were a BBs fan, to give the band some tiny smidge of screen time.

Perhaps the propmaster was an early internet adopter who saw the long tail of people like us ruminating over this 30 some odd years later.

I think you nailed it

They also snuck the Beatles into the wrong rack...

Hardly an accident. Now if they had placed a Monkees tape in there too, my head would explode. That would cover all my bases.

And the blue spine tape directly below the BB tape is likely a Beatles tape, probably Rubber Soul:



And below that probably Sgt. Pepper:

Rubber Soul was the first cassette I ever bought. I still have it, too.
