Agramar_The_Luna_Wolf Posted November 27, 2025 Share Posted November 27, 2025 (edited) I found this time ago on Blusky. Someone collected the cassettes with the music used to sound in the old GW stores,as piped music. AirPlay and such. You can,even,see in the pic the artists/groups and songs, so you can search and listen again like in the old GW stores of old.

Cactus Posted November 27, 2025 Share Posted November 27, 2025 That's amazing. I'm sure we only had four or five of them in the branch I worked at. It was a nice perk of working a whole day solo that I had total musical power!

Magos Takatus Posted November 28, 2025 Share Posted November 28, 2025 I remember one summer in the now long gone GW Luton that we would go into the store and hear the same songs on a playlist. we were never entirely sure if it was a playlist made by GW or just the manager's favourite mixtape, I guess my teenage brain finally got an answer.

Valkyrion Posted November 28, 2025 Share Posted November 28, 2025 My eyes won't let me read that these days. Is there any Metallica or Slayer on there?!

Corswain Posted November 28, 2025 Share Posted November 28, 2025 Wow. That is a very era specific, and awesome, playlist. Imagine if young me with my long hair and heavy metal wardrobe knew that I'd still be at it and that plastic Primarchs would exist. Appreciate the strong shot of nostalgia.

I can't remember how many we had, but I know we had one less when the manager got sick of one of the songs, pulled out the cassette and jumped up and down on it.

Iesty83 Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 is Kung Fu Fighting on there somewhere? The Chester Store used to be obsessed with that song it seemed! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/387179-gw-piped-music/#findComment-6151238 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evil Eye Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 I remember being in a GW fairly recently and them playing Prefab Sprout's "Cars and Girls" which actually kept me in there longer as I adore that song.

grailkeeper Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 (edited) When I was a kid it played a mix of Motley Crue, Metallica and the Lord of the Rings sound track. I still rember one of the staff members describing rhe video for girls grils girls. I remember another staff member telling us how the night before he f*ed the manager of cannabis corpse when they were in town. He added "Don't worry, she was a chick". They certainly have changed their music and hiring policies.

grailkeeper Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 The latest track I can see there was released in March 1997, although I haven't gone through them all. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/387179-gw-piped-music/#findComment-6151356 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pacific81 Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 I worked in a store in the early '00s and they had switched to CDs by then but definitely a lot of those songs still on the playlists! There are a few there that you heard too many times and I still struggle to listen to today haha (something most retail workers have PTSD about, but at least the GW had a lot of rock and alternative stuff). Of course when the manager wasn't in and on the late club evenings you put on your own!

Ahzek451 Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 Thats cool. would nice to get some variety. Some of the GW stores I have frequented tend to only loop LOTR music.
