- Music in this video is from various Bruton and music De Wolfe Records dating from 1972-1979 mixed in audacity and recorded onto a 1977-79 Maxell UD Type 1 Cassette Tape. The Video portion was created from various images of old department stores recorded onto real VHS tape for the retro effect.
This compilation was inspired by the popular Video series Sounds Of the Supermarket 1975 (Grocery Store Music) Originally uploaded by TiHKAL Moon Dweller in October 20, 2012.
I'm working a craft fair next weekend, and highly considering playing this through a little speaker at my booth. I think it'd do wonders for business
(Just a quick update, I've decided this is just something I do from now on. I know folks during the holidays will play Christmas music, but this adds a fun little layer to the shopping experience. Glad you guys like it!)
So, did you play this music?
Did you give it a try?
@@muziklvr7776 yep, was a hit! Sold a few sweaters and mittens
🤣
@@spirals7354 Ma'am, you're on to something. Make it work. Brilliant.
As a kid, I would hide within the circular display racks. To this day I've never experienced that level of absolute peace.
I'm happy I'm not the only person who did that
@@Kaarl_Millsit was just too obvious of a hiding place
Me too! I also liked to hide in closets, and generally hide anywhere period.
funny, I did the exact same thing. Experiences that span over generations, how cool!
same lmfao
Born in 1967. Remember this quite well. Too bad that world is long gone.
67 baby here UK.
The thing was, Muzak played in the mall corridors, but each individual store also played it's own music. Charlotte Russe would play perhaps the Bee Gees, Spencer's Gifts would blast Led Zeppelin and Chess would play Sinatra for dad as he shopped for a new tie, Sears played Dionne Warwick as mom looked at shoes.
It was a cacophony of sound.
Top 40, oldies, rock, and always Muzak to bring you back to earth
Yes that sounds more like the 1979 shopping sountrack i remember. If that was anywhere at all, it would be in a mall's corridors. Department stores on the other hand, not so much.
I worked at Sears. I remember a very C.S Kresky soundtrack, with top 40 muzak.
Yeah that's the thing
I cleaned my entire house with this playing in the background 🤙
Back in the day my musician friends and I regarded this stuff as music for the old fuddie duddies. Hearing it again now I can appreciate the excellent production, fine arrangements, impeccable performances, and quality of the compositions. It was just too light for us back then what with Zeppelin, The Who, Black Sabbath, Van Halen, ACDC etc. etc. rockin’ the charts. Sounds pretty good to me now when I’m not in the mood for Extreme Metal. Quite nice. Thanks.
Just shut up and shop!
@@troublemagnet1 read it again 🙄
Same exact story here, Thomas.
What about nsbm?

This type of music also used to be heard in some television series in the 70s. It is listening to this type of music and transporting my childhood. Really fantastic.
It was used in porn movies 🎅🏻🎈🤭🤭
That's because this is the music of the time
Completely delightful!... A time....A place. Can't help but to have a tearful smile. Le Sigh!
1979- made a full 12 months that year. i can truly imagine hearing this sitting at front of the cart while looking up an mom as she pushes forward slowly making her way through the isles while we both hear this. peaceful, carefree and lots of quality time.
From my perspective as a small child then, I remember cars in the 70’s were massive heavy beasts with unbelievably huge doors that seemed to require the strength of three children to shut properly. When your mother would ask you to close the car door while helping to unload the groceries after returning from store you had to be EXTREMELY careful. I slammed two fingers in the door of my Mom’s 1971 Mercury Cougar once and the pain was mind-numbing! Screaming in blind agony while desperately attempting to work the stubborn door release handle so as to release my smashed digits, it became just another fond memory growing up in the 70’s. I reflect back now and smile. ☺️
The first day after a really tough year at the University I'm lying on a bed listening to this... I'm fully relaxed, I feel sleepy, I feel good...
Thanks Mom! She did some serious shopping and always drug me along! I've had these & variations of these tunes stuck in my head since I was a little kid; it's like my life has a permanent sound track, & I cannot make them stop repeating. I actually never want them to. People assume I'm humming from nervous energy or something. Nope! I'm just enjoying my inner soundtrack. 😊
". . . Nope! I'm just enjoying my inner soundtrack."
I just love how you worded that!! 👏🏾😸✨
Nice to know I'm not alone. I swear sometimes, it's like I got a radio stuck in my head. I just call it the soundtrack of my life.
Ahh yess! J.C. Penny & Montgomery Wards were my favorites as a kid, the smell of fresh popcorn and maple goodies in the air.😁
@@a.c.6475 My mom used to work at a K-Mart back when they had their own food court instead of a chain restaurant. I can still smell the boiled shrimp she used to make for me when I would come by.
Andrew, did your mother force you to take drugs?
Wow the Gemco tv section. In 1977 I remember we bought our first big console tv there with remote control! I remember how excited I was to get it home and watch it! Beautiful memories
Don't know why but I got this sudden urge to buy a Panasonic VHS recorder...
This is from a time when people actually browsed and shopped for fun and relaxation! Now people just run in and grab what they need or just order it online. My shopping memories with my mom and her friend and her daughter were some of the best of my life. We were just little girls waiting for our moms to be done. Time seemed to stand still in those days. I really truly miss that. 😢
Who else remembers getting good at that 2-finger LP flip motion that lets you look thru a whole section of records fast? I flipped thru so many of those bins, looking for the LPs that my friends let me hear at their houses. This music is the soundtrack of my youth.
I would go RIGHT IN to any store playing this. No lies.
So would I absolutely. Today... But back then tho, muzak was still sort of everywhere and had been used for generations, specifically and subliminally for consumers, so this would hardly draw you in if you were under 38 in 1979 lol. Aside from considering it as generic and uncreative music (early version of today's mainstream) enforced upon the ears that couldnt choose to escape it when shopping (no earbuds), ppl began to realize muzak's intentions and were insulted by it
@@djdissi Dude, you know what's funny is that my friend's uncle who is in his 50's or 60's loves muzak so much. He's the "weird black sheep uncle". He even had to move in with her and her husband and kids for a while because he was going through a "difficult time". Not sure what that was about, but when I heard him playing the most stupid muzak "jazz" in his room I almost lost it. My friend told me it was his absolute favorite. I cannot fathom.
@@britpoppansy by the same token, muzak was also used to relax anxious early-era elevator riders in the '30s, and employees, while also hoping to stimulate productivity of the latter. Maybe your uncle was onto something 😉... sorry, your friend's uncle
Okay now this is a mood I didn't know I needed but here we are.
I used to work at Tuesday Morning 2012 they always had pretty nice music when I was working. Made the day so much enjoyable.
I love this far too much more than I'd ever care to admit
I feel the same 😂
It’s good this music is preserved to be able to go back and listen.
5:22 strikes a mystical chord from way back in 1978 for me.
Very nice
Any clue as to the title? ❤️
That soft bell sound used a lot in pop music in late 1970s.

The bass tone on the first song is just fantastic!
I was 10 years old in 79 I remember it was the simple times then no cell phone or internet just people talking to each other miss those times
I worked in the retail grocery business for 25 years, and part of my job was producing the taped announcements advertising the weekly sales. To attract the shoppers attention, I made every message as creative and exciting as possible. For example: Shoppers stop where you are, and let me ask you - is your spathyphylum dried and withered? Has it been weeks since anyone showed it any attention? Well now, you can address this embarassing situation in our Flower Department, where we have fresh, vibrant spathyphylums and other lush plants on sale now. TV theme week was another hit with the customers. I would take certain products and promote their virtues while tying in a particular television show that related to the item, with the theme playing in the background.
The 70s were a magical time
Brings back pleasant, fuzzy memories of department stores, grocery stores and malls. Damn good bass guitarist on this tape.
This music is soooo soothing it makes me happy and feel positive.
That was so, so, so much better than the ear bleeding crap we have to endure these days. Department Store music of the 70's for the win ! Thank for sharing and cheers from Canada.
Born in 1980, this brings me such peace. I definitely remember going shopping with mom and dad or grandma and hearing this type of music playing.
Better than todays top ten hits combined.
Thank you for the work involved in putting this music up. Instantly soothed me! I was 19, unsure of what life had in store. Just a dreamer hot rod kid feeling like he'd live forever. Now 63, divorced and an Iraq combat vet with bad ptsd. Again thank you. A simpler gentler time.
Yeah right
This is great, the sounds and sights. Nice job. Very relaxing retro background. Takes me back to childhood.
it's become my life's quest to imagine we still live in this beautiful, beautiful world. alas, all we can do is imagine and fill our lives with beautiful, well-considered things.
this is one of the best mixes I've ever come across. thank you.
Me too!!!
Me three!
I was born in '76 and I can remember this music being played in our local department stores in the early 80s. It's A perfect, calming sound for shopping.
I fondly remember hearing this music as a kid at KMart in the early 80s.
This one is the best one on the whole Internet 😃thank you!
I wasn't exactly expecting to vibe to this.
Nor was I, but hear I am.
Wow, this brings back so many memories of shopping with my Mom and sister at K-Mart and Hills department store. Sure do miss them both.
This music takes me to a happier and seemingly safer time in my life.... just love it... getting lost in this music is the best! Thank you!
From the creators of "Sounds of the Supermarket '75"
Well I was inspired by the creators of sound of the supermarket and saw people were wishing for a sequel to be made in the comments of those videos so I figured there must be a demand and I like sharing good lesser known music with the world :)
Some wonderful arrangements , beautiful melodies and great instrumentation.
I thought the music was really trite back then. Now I'm impressed at how good the session players are.
As someone who was born in this year, I'm not a massive fan of the music. But I can appreciate the time, love and effort that has gone into creating each song. Kudos to the OP.
Love this. Elevator music. Lots of memories!
The same tape could also be used in elevators and dentist offices. So versatile.
You really don’t hear a good xylophone solo anymore🫠
remember when everything was exciting and something even more exciting was just around the corner?
As annoying as this music may have seemed at the time, it's infinitely better than the crap they play in stores now.
You could still hear this in Japan department stores today.
Even though im a 2000s kid i had a lot of old stuff old furniture and toys because we were very poor and just used my grandmas old stuff and went to really old kind of struggling stores so they were very outdated so this is still nostalgic for me
🤗🤗🤗 I was 2 years old in 1979.
Thank you.
Such magic and peace and good memories 💕🍃💗
music that brings back the old days, very impressed
Este ritmo me transporta cuando iba al supermercado a buscar juguetes, daba ganas de seguir buscando.
Yo nací en los ochentas pero aún en los noventas una música muy parecida se escuchaba en los supermercados de mi localidad, así que puedo decir con orgullo que me tocó disfrutar esta música cuando iba comprar el "mandado" para la comida con mi mamá 😍 quisiera poder regresar en el tiempo a esos momentos y lugares 😭
I LOVE IT
1977
BABY HEAVEN
We called it elevator music 😊 STL City Famous-Barr winter displays were the best!
Oh, Woolworth's! This music is bringing it all back. Thank you cassette player person. I appreciate you 🕊️🤍

Ouvindo essa preciosidade de belas músicas instrumentais e 'voltando no tempo' para uma época que muito me marcou, e para a qual estou sempre querendo retornar... Parabéns pela coletânea, pela qualidade do trabalho e por disponibilizá-lo para todos nós !
Stores should bring this music back. It is relaxing. I recently heard some modern screaming music in a store and I left the store without browsing as the music was painful.
I was born on 1970 and I SOOO remember music like this in the grocery store, Kmart, Sears etc. Wish I could go back just for a day
All groceries stores played this music also! I miss those days!
Thanks, diden't realize I needed this and I did
Me too.
Beautiful music, beautiful times, beautiful people...
I can hardly believe I am listening to this and liking it! But must comment that most of the music feels like 80s whilst the images look early 70s. I do miss those times.
All this stuff overlapped.
Some one get me an Orange Julius.
😂😂😂
Makes me think of shopping for ditto jeans and reading dynamite magazine ❤
so calming and pleasant
what a year to be born. very few of us were born in 79 but those who were, know.
Not much of a staple practice to play Muzak in department stores in 2020 but still done in elevators and a few older hotels still use Muzak.
Still recall some Muzak played late nights to the outdoor mall timely.
One hour of vintage, beautiful and relaxing music? 😌🎶🎵🎶✨ Instantly thumbs up from me! 👍🏻👍🏻
I also like the slideshow of pictures of the shops. They fit perfectly with the tunes. Thank you for posting this video, well appreciated. 🙋🏻♀️🇮🇹🌻‼️
I absolutely LOVE where this playlist takes me. Thanks for creating it! 🌞
This music automatically bring a smile on my face. How in the world. What kind of magic this is.
I love this store music. Its one ill be listening to while playing video games.
i remember them tunes 1980s were good times to me . kamarts use to play something like this in the 1980s. they would stop the music to start the blue light specials .then go right back to playing music
Wonderful. takes me back
Nostalgic , love it, I was born 1970
This is GREAT!! Thanks so much for sharing! 😊
I don't know why, but I was actually expecting a recording of an actual store in 1979. This is still a pleasant surprise.
Thx, ahhhhh pleasant times. Shopping w/ momma.🙂
Ohhh, feelin the good vibes with this!
I was born in 1979😂 beautiful music!
I dont have an execuse, i was born in 2001 but this playlist made if absolute bangers is the only thing that gets me so ready to study or relax
thanks for your work to recreate a genuine retro feel. i fw it.
I worked part time at a JC Penney in the mid 1970's
I still remember some of those songs !
The perfect music to lull you into a false sense of security. Happy Shopping! Oh...remember when affording a family, a home and a car was a normal thing and not a luxury like it is today?
Barely…. But yeah…
I remember hearing this in K mart way back in the day.
Very relaxing, I like it
Fantastic music brother 🎼🎧🎶🤝
That 2nd tune is an absolute belter!!
Hated this music as a kid in the 70s, love it as a middle aged man now.
I remember, I remember. I was 12 in 79 and my mom would take me everywhere with her, to drug stores and K-Mart and a place called Zayers, was just like a K-Mart... Now there's no music at all...
when shopping was pleasant
I use this type of music when I'm on my work and my mood changes completely
This stuff was still in stores in the early 80s when I was small.
MUZAK! Never thought I'd hear it again and actually get nostalgic
If I was a store manager I would say to the employees "absolutely no rap or boom car crap is appropriate for this business" and would force them to listen to this music that I remember from my earliest days
If i were a store manager I wouldnt even hire people who listen to rap and and boom car crap in the first place.
stereotypes, but okay
I'd rather listen to this than some modern rap, but if I were a store manager, I'd respect my employees music taste and I can safely say that there are some rap singles which sound just as good to my ears.

As a teen i spent many hours in stereo stores comparing electronics . Too bad many old technology is not in new products . Cassette recording and vcr recorders . Early record music and video .
It was a glorious day when this went away.
"Woman's World - Ron Aspery" at 25:33 is my absolute favourite of the bunch
sameeeee
The one thing missing from this is the cryptic tone signals for... Security? Booooop. Booooop. Booooop......... Booooop. Booooop. Booooop.
Ad nauseum.
I remember this driving me nuts as a small child in the late 80s.
Thanks for posting this. 👍🏻
The simpler times. As far as I knew.
Remember in 1997 when Bfdi was released? Good times. 5:47
