wish you still had a turntable?
So, how many people reading this switched to CD and got rid of their turntables?
How many live with a spouse or partner who didn’t like the amount of space a record player and all that old vinyl took up? (I wouldn’t mind but you never bloody play any of it anyway.)
How many always intended to replace the old deck when it finally gave up the ghost, but just never got round to it?
Well, if you count yourself amongst that sorry band there’s no longer any need to worry. Thanks to countless Youtube subscribers you can experience the simple joy of spinning an old 45 from the discomfort of your own computer work station.
And there’s also a mountain of this stuff at the online home of the Motown Master, but the Master doesn’t allow embedding so you’ll just have to follow the link.
Now, go and buy yourself a fucking record player, you sad bastard.
(And if you already have one, change the bleeding stylus for God’s sake. - How long has that one been on there for? Since you bought the turntable? I thought so.)

choice cuts and somehow hypnotic and madly addictive

I showed this to my girlfriend and she said: “Why would someone do that? You’re not going to do that are you? No. Promise me that you’re not going to do that.”

I’m not sure what the thinking behind this particular phenomenon . I guess if you post mp3’s there’s no proof that you actually have the record. Perhaps by posting these things to youtube instead of as mp3 – especially you tube clips with embedding disabled – it might be argued that the intent is not to infringe on someone else’s copyright. Hmmmm
