Attention Listeners!


Cool little image, isn't it? I got this off an old library LP, the likes of which are encased in heavy duty plastic with the album sleeve in one pocket and the actual record in another pocket. I don't have too many of these so it was probably from the soundtrack to The Party, or You Are What You Eat, or Andy Kirk and the Clouds of Joy. Who knows? Hard to believe you'd want to exercise caution when playing mono/stereo records. Granted, I will only play 78's on a particular turntable because I'm afraid of the vinyl blowing out my needle. Rough and tumble are those heavy discs. Delicate plates of musical morsels covered with grime. Snap, crackle, pop.
