Peaches Records & Tapes was a Los Angeles-based chain of record superstores, some as large as 15,000 square feet. They were known for its vast selection, with many locations in buildings the size of a typical grocery store, reportedly stocking $500,000 in inventory. Peaches were also known for in-store events with bands and artists, huge murals of the latest album covers on the side of its buildings and for selling records from fruit-crates. The first store opened on Hollywood Boulevard in Los Angeles in 1975 and later that year, a second was opened in Atlanta. At its peak, Peaches had 50 stores in 22 cities with over 2,000 employees. In June 1981, Peaches filed a petition for bankruptcy under Chapter 11 citing $20 million in debt.

The Montreal Expos (French: Les Expos de Montréal) was a baseball team located in Montreal, Quebec, Canada from 1969 until 2004. After the 2004 season, the franchise was relocated by their owners to Washington, D.C. and became the Nationals. The team retained a portion of the Expos' records, player contracts, and minor league affiliates, as well as their spring training complex in Viera, Florida. The Expos' logo was one of the more unique in baseball history, featuring a stylized "M" for Montreal, also forming a red "e" for Expos, and a blue "b" for baseball, coming together as "Montreal Expos Baseball" though it's often said to read "elb" as and stand for "Expos League Baseball" which despite its popularity, is incorrect.
