Check out this video of a 1979 news broadcast from Los Angeles about about the state and future of the vinyl record industry. It contains some great footage of vintage Los Angeles including the old Tower Records on the Sunset Strip, footage from outside the Whisky a Go Go (showing MIchael Nesmith on the marquee), a short clip of The Dickies in the recording studio, and footage of a band called 707 playing the Troubadour. Also look for the short interview with Doug Weston who founded the Troubadour in 1957.
