Two Mistakes at This Record Store Counter: Answer

Did you get it right?

This 1970s record-store counter shows vinyl sleeves, paper price tags, a cash drawer, hold slips, a listening-booth sign, and a dust cloth. Two details do not fit the era.

The Answer

The correct answer is: The anti-theft sticker backing and the plastic shrink-wrap tear strip are the two mistakes..

Here is why

1. The records, slips, signs, counter, and paper tags fit the record-store setting.
2. Look around the sleeve corner and old price tag.
3. The anti-theft backing and shrink-wrap tear strip are modern retail-packaging clues.

Why people miss it

Record counters are naturally packed with paper slips, tags, and sleeve edges, so the modern retail clues can look like normal record-store clutter.
