There was a time when I bought a lot of records so kinda pissed I didn't get the Blue. Got the others with one mistake. Half point for you on the Blue.
Well done, Art! You are a puzzle warrior! But when did you switch scoring systems? In "your" system I think you would have had a 4. Connections Puzzle #178 🟨🟨🟨🟨 SHEET MUSIC SYMBOLS 🟩🟩🟩🟩 ZODIAC SYMBOLS 🟦🟦🟦🟪 + GEM – ISLAND 🟦🟦🟦🟦 RECORD LABELS 🟪🟪🟪🟪 gave up
I was seeing categories with too many candidates. Then I saw the purple category, and I gambled that the purple category members were the key to the green category members. I was thinking the blue category was places until VIRGIN joined their group. Also, see how the green and purple categories are connected, and the yellow and blue categories are connected, but not as?
Art: yes, right continent, wrong country. Half-point.
The woman in the Columbia pictures logo is actually named Columbia, a symbol for the USA, and I believe the Statue of Liberty is modeled on her.
If only you knew about/remembered the Will Smith movie "Gemini Man" where he plays clones of himself, you would have made the Gemini/Twins connection much quicker. But nice job. I rushed through and made two mistakes, putting scales with the sheet music category because I didn't see "note", and putting "Virgin" in the Zodiac symbols category because I didn't see one of the other four. I eventually saw the half Zodiac words, but I never saw that they actually paired up with the symbols. I eventually made the grouping by putting "Capitol", "Columbia" and "island" together and I saw Capitol Records and Columbia Records, guessed that Island Records seemed reasonable, and then out of the Zodiac symbols Virgin seemed to be the best record label name.

This one was pretty tricky.
I'm liking more and more the method of finding ALL categories before I enter my first one. It weeds out a ton of errors.
Definitely challenging! I made one mistake, trying to put SCALES in the music category. I knew about Gemini and The Twins, having been born a Gemini myself, and I'm familiar with the other zodiac signs & symbols as well. Maybe it was a 1960s thing. I was never a believer, but I do admit to having gone thru a youthful phase of curiosity about astrology. While you struggled to describe the category, I was mentally yelling "ZODIAC!" at you, but I guess you didn't "hear" me! Nevertheless, you pulled it off nicely!
British entrepreneur Richard Branson started out selling records on the high street , then formed a record label. After that, he launched Virgin Airlines and now Virgin Money owns/runs what was the Clydesdale Bank – so virgin could have been in all sorts of categories. Branson even got involved in balloon journeys crossing the Atlantic and got into danger. I didn't like the purple category being a reprise of an earlier one on the same day !

I got this one quickly. This is one of those "you know it or you don't" ones. I spotted the record labels instantly, followed quickly by the zodiac signs, then the sheet music elements.
That was brutal. Share your results below!
The blue category finally dawned on me. This was certainly not easy. 🎉

Good solve, Art! I'm glad you figured it all out.
This was an easy solve for me. I made no mistakes and named all the categories correctly.
Got it in order!
