Vinyl Countdown is a music store located in both Vice City (in 19841986) 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. The store, in GTA Vice City, is one of the fifteen stores that must be robbed for 100% completion. Whilst in GTA Vice City Stories Smiley #9 can be found in the store. In GTA Vice City Stories, it serves no importance to the game's storyline, however; it is accesible by the player. 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. The franchise still existed as of 1992, and it seemed to have been there in 1984 as well. In GTA San Andreas, there is a small billboard of both Love Fist and possibly a Lance Vance look alike, but Lance Vance was killed in 1986 by Tommy Vercetti. This is unknown whether that is actually Lance Vance in that picture or a music artist.
