Gap In-Store Playlists 1992 to 2006 and Beyond

Endless thanks goes to the DL for helping me find others who saved GAP In-Store Playlists from when they also used to work at GAP.

If anyone out there is reading this for the first time and saved their stores monthly paper playlists, please contact me at my Gap In-Store Playlists blog.

In this thread, I will be highlighting individual playlists in order to show what kinds of great music were played at GAP during those years.

This first playlist is from October 1992 and, alas, is not a true complete playlist. I have reconstructed thirty songs from memory and in, mostly, the correct order. But I really need the actual playlist! Check it out!

My oldest physical copy playlist is September 1993, and it's a great mix of House, Acid Jazz, R&B, New Wave, and Alternative Rock.

The November 1993 GAP In-Store Playlist was a novelty playlist: many of the tracks are TV and Movie Themes. But it works well with the other songs mixed in.

I'm thrilled to have four playlists again from 1994 after having all of them until 2006 when I lost them.

February 1994 has two of my favorites: Rozalla's cover of "I Love Music" and "Rubberband Girl" by Kate Bush!

As a big Kate Bush fan, I love how the March 1994 GAP In-Store Playlist begins with her "Eat The Music."

Also love Lonnie Gordon's "Bad Mood" on here!

R27 It's an uncanny coincidence, isn't it?! Here's another. You know Judy at Carnegie Hall, her famous concert, recorded and released in 1961? It really has that 1961 sound to it, I'll tell you that.

Does anyone know this song?

It was on the March 2004 GapBody CD. I have the CD but no playlist attached. I have figured out all of the other songs except this one.

NO music service can place this track. No Shazam, SoundHound, nothing.

Anyone know this?
