Spotted online:
Two posts: first is a photo of a prison that has the taller red section of a former Circuit City electronics store. 

Second post is a photo of Craig Finn of the band THE HOLD STEADY with a voice bubble out of his mouth, making it look like he's reading the photo's caption, which is: "I'm pretty sure this prison used to be a Circuit City."

In 2025 Moose played in (partner) Miki Berenyi Trio and I told them both this tale - even sharing a photo of the marquee I'd taken earlier in the day. Figured camera would not be allowed inside the gig. To this day, Luna and Lush are back-to-back on my LP shelves.

At Allmusic, on Grant Green's "Street of Dreams," Steve Huey writes (and I concur):
Allmusic Guide review of the album "Street of Dreams" by "Hollywood" Steve Huey.

Love looking up an album's wiki page and spotting @hollywoodsteve.bsky.social as a cited source. Though it does make me want to stop the album and listen to one of the podcasts he hosts! This entry is on Grant Green's "Talkin' About," and am spinning a reissue of "Street Of Dreams" this morning.
Brief review  of the record "Talkin' About" by Grant Green cites an Allmusic Guide entry written by "Hollywood" Steve Huey, who awarded it 4.5 stars. The quote is: "With just a basic organ trio lineup, the album works as a fascinating middle ground between the soul-jazz of Green's early days and the modal flavor of his most recent work... It all makes for a terrific album that ranks in Green's uppermost echelon."

Above Annie Fischer, you just get a partial glimpse of one that I stumbled upon on Discogs, Beethoven's Ninth. That's as many I was able to identify, as you do not get very good looks at a lot of what's in the racks. #BeSeeingYou

Found one other (no thanks to AI), by Victoria De Los Angeles, top left in the rack. Fun fact - this and the prior "Faust" are sequential catalog numbers in the 1961 HMV roster. Note the red one below it is vexing me terribly - can't find it on Discogs:
