Vinyl Countdown is a music store located in both Vice City (in 1984 & 1986) and Los Santos (in 1992), and appears in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, and Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories.

Description

In GTA: Vice City, the store, which is found at the North Point Mall in 1986 and has an accessible interior. It is also one of fifteen stores that must be robbed for 100% completion.

In GTA: San Andreas, there is a small billboard of both Love Fist and a Lance Vance look alike, with the message "Let's go to Dundee!!" Unlike the Vice City location, this location is inaccessible to CJ and plays no role in the storyline whatsoever.

In GTA: Vice City Stories, there is still a store in the Vice Point Mall in 1984. It (along with Ammu-Nation) are the only businesses to be present in the mall in both Vice City and Vice City Stories. Another music store, Needle Trax can also be found in the mall.

In all appearances, the logo of Vinyl Countdown has the first "o" replaced with a black gramophone record, making it only partially visible on the usual dark background. This results in yet another one of Rockstar's sexual jokes, the resulting combination being "Vinyl Cuntdown".

In the games, various vinyl records and compact discs are shown on display in stores. Below is their list:

GTA: Vice City

Love Fist - The Number of the Breast

-In GTA Vice City, the store, which is found at the [[North Point Mall]] and has an accessible interior, is one of fifteen stores that must be robbed for 100% completion, whilst the same store in GTA Vice City Stories is where Smiley #9 can be found although it has no other purpose. The name is a reference to the hit single "The Final Countdown" by Swedish rock band Europe - the song was released the same year GTA Vice City was set in.
+In GTA: Vice City Stories, there is still a store in the Vice Point Mall in [[1984]]. It (along with [[Ammu-Nation]]) are the only businesses to be present in the mall in both Vice City and Vice City Stories. Another music store, [[Needle Trax]] can also be found in the mall.
-In GTA San Andreas, there is a small billboard of both [[Love Fist]] and a singer named Dandeel (who bears an uncanny resemblance to [[Lance Vance]], including their outfit).
+In all appearances, the logo of Vinyl Countdown has the first "o" replaced with a black gramophone record, making it only partially visible on the usual dark background. This results in yet another one of Rockstar's sexual jokes, the resulting combination being "Vinyl '''Cunt'''down".
