The Easter egg hidden in the rafters.

Rapture Records is a store in Poseidon Plaza within Fort Frolic. It was owned by Silas Cobb and is believed to have held and sold records to the public. It is located on the second level near the stairs. Much like the rest of Rapture, this store has fallen into disrepair by the time Jack sees it during the events of BioShock. The sign is crooked and flickering, and all the lights inside have gone out, making the only illumination that of the numerous fires throughout the store. Like most of Rapture, this section also shows signs of dangerous leaking.

[edit] There's Something in the Sea

In the storyline of the viral website "There's Something in the Sea," Mark Meltzer came into possession of a record containing the song "Rise, Rapture, Rise" with a message hidden at the end of the track. This record came in a sheath from Rapture Records. Also, many fans who have sent mail to Meltzer's New York City post office box have received a copy of the aforementioned record.

[edit] Trivia

• The area in the rafters of the store were Silas Cobb's "kittens" spawn before attacking Jack is covered with backwards "Ryan's Songbird" posters. This Easter egg left by the developers can only be seen by using the console to disable clipping (on the Mac or PC).
