Garage/psych in "mainstream" media

Just to clarify - the version used in Citroen's commercial is the 1958 cover by Mickey Hawks on Profile. Wasn't aware that it was a cover until you linked the Covay version.

I've got both rekkids and forgot how similar they are so I got my "bips" and my "booms" mixed up. Sorry 'bout that!
 
From the well-known Spanish film director Pedro Almodovar's first movie "Pepi, Luci, Bom y otras chicas del montón". The Squires, The Haunted, The Grains of Sand and The JuJus (obviously taken from Pebbles # 1) make a stellar apparition in the discotheque scene, lo and behold! Fast-forward to minute 17:27

 
Just saw American Made last night, starring Tom Cruise... Excellent movie. Can't believe the number 1 movie in America has not one but two obscure 60s garage tracks are in it. TROYES I Don't Need You & SOUL INC. Ultra Blue.:boggle:
 
Reportedly, this is the main reason why some companies are still putting out CDs these days. They hope some producer of TV shows or commercials will somehow hear it and use one of the songs, since this may generate revenue and slight profit, unlike the CDs themselves.
 
I tried to buy a reasonably priced but quality CD player sometime ago and not a single electrical goods store I visited had one. They used to stock several brands. I ended up with an el cheapo DVD player
 
I doubt that CD's will make a comeback.
Here's why.
I worked in a record store in 1989. Vinyl still sold well, but the major labels were discontinuing many vinyl releases. Consequently, if added bonus tracks weren't incentive enough, the lack of (major label) vinyl releases converted many vinyl die-hards. CD's take up less warehouse space (and less space in record stores) ... which means a potential for higher profits.

It's my belief that due to CD's getting ripped to mp3's in a matter of minutes for file sharing; which results in a loss of revenue, someone (higher up and with influence) decided to promote vinyl as being cool again. The reason? Although vinyl can be converted to mp3, it's not nearly as quick or user friendly for the average person. Therefor, a smaller percentage will be uploaded for file sharing and as a result, the majors will see higher consumption/profits.

Reissues CDs are going nowhere. They are here to stay. As far as new product, who cares.
