A Times Square record store, as seen in the opening montage of the Naked City episode “Turn of Events,” May 12, 1959. Colony Records? King Karol? Dunno.
Elaine and I continue to make our way through Naked City, pausing and “rewinding” at will. Great stories, great cinematography (Jack Priestly), great acting. Is that so-and-so? Yes, it is!

My guess is Colony---same kind of neon sign. Colony also appears at the end of that great Cassavetes film, Shadows.
My sad story about Colony: decades ago I was thrilled to find a 10 inch Charlie Parker Savoy record in their stacks. I shouted to my soon-to-be-wife: "Look what I found! Look what I found!" And when I pulled the record delicately out of the sleeve---my heart beating like mad---it was cracked and fell into little pieces. So did my heart!
What a find, and what a loss.
I’ll have to add that film to my queue — and not just for the record store.
I don't think that it's Colony. They discounted anything.
