"Get your laughs off…" at RECORD CITY with Vinegar Syndrome's Blu-ray of the bizarro musical comedy.

Record City is a downtown Los Angeles music store run by sleazy Eddie Pierce (Michael Callan, CAT BALLOU) who hires cashiers with the aim of seducing them, the latest prospect being pretty Lorraine (Wendy Schaal, WHERE THE BOYS ARE '84) who only has eyes for Tongues singer Kinky Friedman (as himself) who will be making an appearing during KAKA radio DJ Gordon Kong's (Rick Dees, MEATBALLS) talent contest which is set to fill the streets outside of the record store with all kinds of Gong Show rejects. Apart from human music computer database The Wiz (THE LOVE BOAT's Ted Lange) and new guy Pokey (Ed Begley Jr., SHE DEVIL), the rest of the staff are too busy to be star struck: stock boy Danny (Dennis Bowen, LISA) is pining for Lorraine, nerdy buddy Rupert (Stuart Goetz, THE VAN) is trying out gimmicks to lose his virginity to fiery Rita (Maria Grimm, LOST ON PARADISE ISLAND), plain Olga (Ruth Buzzi, THE BEING) wants to be a sex object while butch Vivian (Deborah White, 10) fights off the possibly imagined advances of Marty (Tim Thomerson, TRANCERS), and owner Manny (Jack Carter, ALLIGATOR) is on the run from both his shrill wife (Susan Tolsky, LOVE AT FIRST BITE) and a thug (Harold Sakata, GOLDFINGER's Odd Job) sent by his bookie. Meanwhile, the onslaught of talent show hopefuls are a perfect distraction for a robbery by the master-of-disguise The Chameleon (BATMAN's Frank Gorshin) who may already be under the nose of the cop hired for added security (Sorrell Booke, FAIL SAFE).

Boasting an incredible cast of character actors that also includes F-TROOP's Larry Storch, DESIGNING WOMEN's Alice Ghostley, THE RIFLEMAN's Joe Higgins, WESTWORLD's Alan Oppenheimer, RECORD CITY should be a sort of zany baby boomer EMPIRE RECORDS, but it's really just a waste of talent that drags on and on and on with predictable gags and no sense of comic timing where only the most bombastic have a chance of making an impression. The film is so glutted with characters that no one story thread has time to compel the viewer to care, least of all what should be the central love story – one wonders about its resolution as to whether writer Ron Friedman (SLEDGE HAMMER) had issues with women or with the obligatory guy gets the girl subplots of these comedies – while the talent show acts range from the entertaining like Keni St. Lewis (who penned several of the film's songs with HELL UP IN HARLEM's Freddie Perren) and his song "Mr. Feelgood" to the execrable like Gallagher (smashing apples instead of watermelons this time around). No wonder American International was in the pits around this time picking up stuff like RECORD CITY.
