Reply to comment by UncontrolableUrge in When music stores were way more prominent, did you ever just ask an employee for a random recommendation that ended up blowing your mind? What did they recommend? by duomtl

We did that with Tom Jones - The Lead And How to Swing It - his "I'm still relevant in the 90s" crossover album produced by Erasure? We put that on - anyone under 25 was like "that's cool." Yeah new Erasure produced album! "Whos that singing?" You know, the Whats New Pussycat guy. ANyone older than 25 was "Is that.... Tom Jones?" Yasss.

Think we sold two dozen copies that day.

And of course Tom Jones and Art of Noise did a cover of a Prince song together.
