Record Chain Not Charged: Obscenity charges were dismissed Thursday in Dallas, Tex., against Sound Warehouse Corp., the only retail record chain ever charged with distributing an obscene musical recording. The 140-store chain faced nine misdemeanor counts of distributing obscene materials to adults or minors after a Sound employee sold a copy of 2 Live Crew’s “As Nasty as They Wanna Be” album to a minor during an undercover Dallas police sting last July.
