In 1993 Brazilian show Vitrine visited the Publinter (https://productionmusic.fandom.com/wiki/Publinter) office. You can catch a glimpse of their catalog at the time: a Valentino set, some Sonoton and Sound Ideas CDs:
The focus is teaching viewers what a 'sound bank' is and how licensing of SFX and music works in general. The Publinter representative mentions being a decade in the business of importing and licensing tracks and having a retired vinyl collection that gave way to CDs.
At 3:13 he plays the famous elections theme 'Eyewitness News' by Walter Murphy, used to this day.
Additional context and notes:
- 'ViTrine' was a innovative TV show covering the production of media from comics to TV broadcasting.
- Publinter was located in São Paulo, where the major Brazilian network stations are established.
- His CD player was manufactured by one of the cheapest brands if not the cheapest local brand in Brazil.

Very fascinating find Bronic! Seeing the office of a (former) library music distributor and their CD collection is interesting.

Wow! That's very interesting for me to see! ;D
And for me, i heard that Publinter has both lease and buyout production libraries back then.

Really neat little video! Love seeing all the Valentino discs... Also, any idea where the track at 5:03 comes from?

This is a great rarity in the history of library music around the world! It is very difficult to find a video showing an office of a company of this kind and even more from my country.
