Trivia Question About LPs

[Dixon Carter Lee]

I was looking through my record collection yesterday and came upon a two album set. I looked through the titles on Side One, flipped the record, and came upon Side Four. The flip side of Side Two is Side Three. Can you tell me why they didn't just make the other side of Side One, Side Two, and the next record Sides Three and Four?

No fair playing if you've ever bought an LP or owned a turntable. This is for the kids.

damn..not fair.

Does it have something to do with the way turn tables were set up to play multiple albums?

Do I count as a kid?

 

[koalabear]

The way you stack them and play them. Hear side one then two, flip thenover 3-4.


I am too young!










at heart!

Sorry. Later I'll let you explain all the images on the Sgt. Pepper cover, if you like.

This was so you could stack em and go directly from side 1 to side 2, and then from side 3 to side 4

I'm going with Sunstruck, more or less.

If you have multiple turntables and you want to go from side 1 to side 2, you don't want to have to stop and flip over your record. Just have it cued up on the other turntable.

And I *know* I count as a "kid".

 

[Dixon Carter Lee]

A couple of correct guesses. From people who've never used records?

Whats a turn-table grandpa?

I can answer this.
God, I'm old.
Shoot me now...

Yeah.. um.. or... what *he* said.

It's how I decided which whore to fuck. And then you were born.

(Imagine that with a smiley face at the end of it.)

Damn! Pops get pissy when he misses his nap.

I'm one of only two people I know who remember what "needles" are and how to change them in a record-player.

I still have some of those little plastic inserts for the 45s, too.

And I'm not that old!!!

 

[red_rose]

Okay... I'm young. But when I was a kid, I used to listen to "books on record" that came on those little 45s!

I also remember my dad's vast record collection and the fact that he would hardly ever let me start one up on my own because he was afraid that I'd break the needle. (I never did!)

He used to have a tape deck that was never used. But once he bought a CD player, the turntable was never touched again.
