Description
A copywork print of an original photograph of Randy's Record Store and Studio 17.
The photograph was taken from a lower angle, looking up at the building. Horizontally across the top of the building is a red and black sign with white text which reads [Randy's RECORDING / STUDIO 17]. The word [Randy's] is painted in light blue near the bottom of the image. There are several power lines and wires crossing in front of the building. The sky appears to be a dark blue or black. There is a narrow border running along the bottom edge of the original image. A handwritten inscription by Bill Adler identifies the subject, location and date.
