Answer: records

In some way or other, these all fit records. We have famous record retailers, like Virgin (q.5) and Tower (q.6), people known for playing records, like disk jockeys (q.8) or D.J.'s (q.12). Then movies associated with records: "High Fidelity" (q.1) and "Empire Records" (q.11), plus a TV show that played a lot of records, "American Bandstand" (q.14). We also included the speeds of records in the pre-tape, pre-CD days: 33 1/3 (q.2), 45 (q.3), and 78 (q.4). And we didn't forget records that have nothing to do with music, such as most home runs in a season (q.7) and world's longest cat (q.13), along with the world's greatest source of records, "The Guinness Book of World Records" (q.10). And, in U.S. law enforcement slang, a suspect's criminal record is a list of his or her "priors" (q.9). Hope you enjoyed my quiz. Please rate it. Thanks. Mickey.
