According to wikipedia, a TV show ["Lost Angels"](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lost_Angels_(TV_series) is coming out based on the book ("L.A. Noir: The Struggle for the Soul of America's Most Seductive City."][http://www.amazon.com/L-A-Noir-Struggle-Americas-Seductive/dp/0307352080) The game and the book/show aren't related, and the show was originally named "L.A. Noir" but had to change due to being too similar to the video game.

Thank you! You're right and it's just the Ella/Ink Spots song and "Pistol Packing Momma" that cross over; I guess it just feels like there are more when I'm driving around LA. Still, I could've sworn I heard "Crazy He Calls Me."

> Technically, since the game takes place in 1947, and the vinyl LP was not invented until 1948, all the game's soundtrack should exist on 78s.

Out of curiosity, were 78s the most common medium for radio broadcast of music and other recorded content in the late 40s? I'm coincidentally reading L.A. Noir right now and the author described Jack Webb as a "disc jockey," which made me realize that I don't know how recorded audio was played on the radio.
