The Greatest Record Album

[stek]

There's a whole two generations now who've lost the art of dropping the stylus on the lead-in gap between tracks....

Talking of which, I once had a vinyl copy of Monty Python's Matching Tie and Handkerchief. Depending on where you placed the stylus, it would play different sketches.
Only on one side of the album as I recall.
Bit bizarre but true nonetheless, I tulip you not!!

Yup - I got that one too! It was simply two spirals, intertwined!

I have almost all ABBA and ABBA members Swedish releases including one with a colour poster of Agnetha - Corrr!!

I've got some LP's of recordings of steam engines, how sad is that? 'Big Bertha' - the famed Midland Railway 0-10-0 Lickey Banker, an LMS Garratt, some Coronation Class Pacifics.

No I'm not Gricerboy's sockie....

A record with 3 sides. I was quite impressed with that.

Aye, the best I ever bought just wish I had bought two and only opened one. MP3 downloads these days, pfft

It was years before I realised what the actual cover of WYWH looked like.

I thought it was a new record.

Who's that?

Warp20 Box Set

And that goes for CDs and a;ll the other crap that has been offered up as formats over the years.

Vinyl was top draw whether you play it on a Technics 1210 or a Linn Sondek

First time I have not heard it called an LP12

The Warp20 box set has one record that plays different continual loops.

As for two generations not knowing vinyl. Swing down to Hoxton and say that out loud. They will drown you in craft beer (aka beer).

Bought a copy of this from a second hand record shop & found the best part of a 'teenth inside



Believe me, I needed it to listen to that.....

Lost the record in a move around 1987. Bought it on CD ten years later - still amazing.

Ah, that's because it wasn't mine it was a mates brothers. Funny thing was he has a huge punk collection and we used to sneak in and play them on the Linn.

The biggest vinyl collection I have seen numbered 80,000 around 15 years ago, god knows what size it is now.
It filled a whole shipping container to get it over to NZ where my mate currently lives.

That collection had absolutely everything, sometimes we would literally party for days as my mate played through parts it.

I know, for a fact he would have your Warp collection, we were very closely linked with DiY and other artists that bought stuff out on Warp.
Amazing DJ too, used to command good money back in the day.

Luckily we were a lot younger and had a lot more energy during those days
