There must be others but none comes to mind right now.
I'm sure it's not the only time I've done this, but I remember doing it in HMV in Sheffield with an album by Robert Randolph and the Family Band. I kept hearing tasty blues licks, then a guitar doing things I was fairly sure a guitar couldn't do. "What witchcraft is this?" I asked the guy at the counter, and he duly sold me the album.
On the back cover is Randolph's pedal steel. Oh. Riiiiiight.
I also had the memorable experience of working in a record shop one Christmas (between jobs, had always fancied it...). It was a bit of a game for us to try to pick stuff to play on the shop stereo that people would buy. I know I shifted a few copies of a Chess records compilation (everybody needs Chess Chartbusters Vol 1-6), and the first Crosby, Stills and Nash album. The boss eventually had to institute a rule that we couldn't play anything on the stereo we didn't have two copies of in stock.
Don't talk politics and don't throw stones. Your royal highnesses.

Sad part of this, is that I can't remember the last time I actually set foot in a record store... must be at least 10 years and that was most likely an HMV
It was in an HMV (I think) in Welwyn Garden City. I was in the habit of finding a record shop in whatever city I was in on a Monday (I travelled a lot) and looking at the new singles, since they'd often be heavily discounted the first week.
The Killers' Hot Fuss was playing, having just been released that day I believe. It sounded ace. Me and a colleague both bought copies.
I've listened to it about twice since.
Like an earlier poster though, I used to shop in Bristol's Park Street, and also at the top in Revolver where Roger used to get me into all sorts of good music.
I also had a similar experience with the Couldn't Stand the Weather album by Stevie, my mate was in a Clash type band when that came out but he was a guitarist and played it for me - before the first track was done I knew I was buying it and moving on from punk.
Anyway, I bought it and it was shite. One track at a time it was amusing, but as an album it got irritating really quickly.
Still have the CD. Just as well, it's not on Spotify.
