Northwest corner of Sunset Blvd and Vine Street where Wallichs Music City stands with Capitol Records is on the 2nd floor, Hollywood, 1946
In this shot from 1946, we’re looking at Wallichs Music City, the music store that stood on the NW corner of Sunset and Vine from 1940 to 1978. It was one of the first music stores to put record albums in display racks for customers to browse. It was also the first to have listening booths. Cool, man! We can also see the sign for Capitol Records. It was on the second floor and was started by Wallichs in 1942, along with songwriter Johnny Mercer and movie producer Buddy De Sylva.
