The Record Game (1984)

From the Box:

The RECORD GAME is THE board game that offers you a behind-the-scenes look at the excitement and glitter of the record and music business.

With your first move you enter the fast-paced world of the entertainment industry. You've got $4 million and it's up to you to make your record a hit.

The RECORD GAME takes you into the recording studio...on the road with your act...into the record stores and radio stations. You must plan promotions, budget your money and carefully manage your sales and inventory. Enjoy the entertainment world but remember that it's good business sense that produces profits, and it's profit that makes a winner in THE RECORD GAME.

The game was endorsed by Kenny Rogers.
