I remember visiting a local Woolworths in Birmingham (UK) back in '79 and seeing a whole bunch of John Barry's THE BLACK HOLE (Pickwick Label if I remember correctly) retailing at £0.50p each; all crammed into one of those 'cheap' wire carousal display units. At the time Soundtrack LPs used to retail at about £4.50p or £4.99 (those being at HMV or Virgin) and I remember thinking wow!! £0.50p That's cheap! It can't be the Original Soundtrack recording. But it was. Cheers

I picked up soundtrack LPs at the Woolco in Littleton, Colorado when I first started collecting at age 12. These are the ones I know for sure I bought there 1973-1975
James Bond 10th Anniversary Collection
The Three Musketeers - Legrand
The Return of the Pink Panther - Mancini
Murder on the Orient Express - Bennett
The Other Side of the Mountain - Fox
By 1976, I was mostly haunting the big Denver LP store, Peaches, and shopping mall record stores, so much less shopping for music at general interest stores, except occasionally Target. Interestingly, even though the Woolworth's where I lived was much closer than Woolco, I don't recall ever buying music there.
Man, I remember Peaches records. I was living in Golden during those years. It's the only record store I ever saw that didn't have bins; instead, the records were arranged upright on shelves and you had to read the spines.
The other store I used to haunt was Music for All in Cherry Creek. Memories.

i have that "Ten Years Of James Bond" 2 L.P. set, and the L.P. version of "On Her Majesty's Secret Service" on Side 4 ACTUALLY sounds better than the C.D. version!!!

As a kid, I frequented Woolworth's a lot, I used to love their hot dogs at the luch counter (I believe someone else also mentioned that). I loved them them so much that I forced my mom to ask what brand they used (BTW, in Chicago, it was Scott Peterson). On the other hand, I feel I really missed out, because I have NO recollection of ever visiting their record department; SHAME ON ME as it seems to have been a soundtrack collector's dreamworld.
When I was at nearly the same young age as many of the people making major comments in this thread, (in my case, maybe 13-14 or so), the closest thing I experienced was a very small record department at Jewel, my neighborhood grocery store. It was there that I obtained THUNDERBALL for $0.99, KRAKATOA and UPTIGHT for $0.88 each, and a Liberty LP by Leonard Slatkin of him conducting themes from religious films. I think that last one cost a princely $2.00.
As far as LPs that showed up ubiquitously in cheap-o bins, I also remember the Mercury LP of DINGAKA.
