The Magnificent Goldberg Posted December 24, 2006 Report Posted December 24, 2006 (edited) But no one actually said that in marketing LPs; it was always this damage thing. MG Exactly. But, wasn't that around the time that records got flimsier, Dynagroove etc.? There were some that said on the label they could be played on either mono OR stereo. I never understood what magic would take place. Not sure about Dynagroove. I have never bought too many records by major companies. My memory of this is that records got very thin with the oil price rise in the early '70s - 1973 as far as I can tell. I've got some Prestige LPs from that period that are so flimsy, the polythene wrapping around the sleeve bends them! (And they're all FUNK classics - I always thought the Sheikhs did it deliberately to make these albums less long-lasting. ) MG Edited December 24, 2006 by The Magnificent Goldberg Quote

Big Al Posted December 3, 2007 Report Posted December 3, 2007 Tony Bennett SNOWFALL. He does a song on there called "Christmasland" that not only makes me yearn for the Christmases of my childhood, it gets me all choked up thinking about how quickly my son and his friends are growing up. Melancholy, bittersweet, but never overdone or maudlin. Quote
