“For every day under the sun, he slowly began to live life like he felt the branches in his heart with its flowers blooming and its roots tightening.” ― Tsholofelo Lehaha, In the midst of the womb
Remember the Columbia Record Club? You would order Led Zeppelin and if they were out they would send you a Kai Winding trombone album. Bummed. I didn’t like Herb Alpert but I ordered his album because of the naked chick covered in whip cream on the cover
Cassettes were a thing of the future when I was in junior high! When I was first starting to get albums many of them were available in either mono or stereo. Nobody I knew had a record player that would do stereo (or had a color tv).
Any thing to make what you already have obsolete. Going back to vinyl, huh? Nothing new under the sun. Maybe I’ll get a chance to drag out my old pastel blue leisure suit! Polyester plaid bell bottoms, black Beetle boots and shoulder wide lapels.
Pretty much. If you got a good scratch on the record, it would sometimes skip up outta the groove and land back at the same spot on the record and skip-repeat- skip repeat until you got up and moved the needle beyond the scratch. But you could often fix it with a high-tech solution by jumping up outta your seat and stomping down hard with both feet to shake the floor.
I don’t need the saddle, I need knee pads.

Ooo yeah, got my 30 cassette tapes for 1 cent!
Album art sold many an album. How about that RATT album cover with that model on the hood of a trans-am?
Thanks for subscribing, Charles, and make it a great weekend!

Now we’ve come full circle with vinyl & turntables connected to Bluetooth.

was that back when they carved those album players out of stone? :P

😂 nothing says nostalgia like playing vinyl and listening to the crackling sounds from scratches.
Yes indeed, music sales and record shops
