According to this article in LA Magazine, The store tried to lure local music fans with commercials aired during American Bandstand and Soul Train. They offered a money-back guarantee on records and heavily promoted local concerts, drawing fans in to buy the music before or after a big concert. “It’s a mixed bag of which days we’re busy,” an executive told Billboard in 1979. “It depends on what shows are at the Roxy and Whisky on Fridays and Saturdays. We’re crowded between shows.”
