{{Quote|Turning away from the soda shop, Marty continued walking past Roy's Records, another hangout for Hill Valley teens. Out front was a sandwich-board poster which announced: <small>JUST ARRIVED—THE BALLAD OF DAVY CROCKETT, 16 TONS, MANY MORE</small>... Color posters in the window showed four women singers who called themselves The Chordettes; others promoted "Patti Paige in the land of Hi Fi", "Eydie in Dixie Land," and "Unforgettable Songs by Nat 'King' Cole." There did not seem to be the slightest hint that rock 'n' roll existed or was on its way.|From ''[[Back to the Future novelization|Back to the Future]]'' by [[George Gipe]] (quote, page 82)}}

Four album covers were displayed in the shop's window (three of which were anachronisms, having not yet been recorded in 1955):
