New Christmas Present.....not

These extreme designs amaze and fascinate me, still. But I then pinch myself and think how flawed a stamped piece of vinyl with wiggly grooves is as a replay medium. It’s literally incredible how long is has turned out to last. I’ve got LPs bought in 1958 that sound fantastic. And quite a few from the 1970s that sound sh*te.
Oil embargo if any of, our younger members remember it
Some of the worst times to produce thin and cr#p vinyl.

In order to save vinyl the record companies used the plastic more than once, if a record didn't sell it was recycled and occasionally bits of the label got incorporated into the new LP. Result - pops & hisses. I had a David Bowie LP that was attrocious, also so thin you could almost see through it.
