I found this on Youtube today and it brought me way back to when I was a kid.LMAO I like this movie too.

I had a record player like that and I even once had a 78 record. They were very rare, but I actually had one. I don't remember (that was way too long ago.LOL) which one it was, but I can remember trying to play it on 33 and it sounded so funny and I asked my mom who told me that it was a 78. I had seen the speed on the record player, but didn't know what that was. I looked at my mom like she was wacked.LOL But she was right.

And then a few years ago (about 10) my oldest niece was here visiting and we were all listening to music--Me, my son, her and her mother. I said something about "I used to have this record" and my niece looked at me straight in the face and said "Auntie. What's a record?" I about fell over. Dang did I feel old then.LOL

I had a record player just like the one in that video, I also had one that you had to manually move the arm on it at one time.

Over the holiday there were several people at my house for dinner and a discussion came up about the old records. Someone said that they are bringing them back and that they found that the records have a better sound and quality then the Cassettes, 8-tracks (anyone remember those? I still have a couple hereLMAO) and CD's.

Has anyone else heard this?

What do you think, do records have a better sound? Just wondering.LOL

[50cal]

yes, you are in a class by yourself.........

[windanncer]

I haven't heard about bringing back real records. I think it would be a hoot if they brought back the vinyl. Mostly due to nostalgia. Hope they do.

Do records sound better? Its hard to tell because my old ones have so many scratches & finger prints. New ones probably do! LOL

[timmy tiger]

Well, see there, you admit that I'm special 50. Now that's what makes me me.LMAO

Yeah, we were talking about it again tonight and my son even said that vinyl is coming back.

Shoot I still have some really old records too and then when my ex-in-laws put all their old albums on CD they gave my ex and I boxes of albums. And then other family members did too 'cause at that time we were the only ones in the family that still had a working record player.LOL When I got the records I went to a place (I think it was Radio Shack, but not sure anymore) and got this stuff to clean up the records, it doesn't take all the scratches off of them, but it sure did clean up alot of them.

I like the convenience of CD's when traveling, they are easier to listen to in a vehicle then it would be to listen to a record.LOL

You know I don't know either about the sound being better on vinyl, but when they were talking about it a couple of the guys were saying how much better the sound was then on anything else.LOL

Now that's funny. Have you ever seen Williams and Reed? Oh they are so funny. My bro has their DVD and he played it for me. I laughed so hard.

[Joe G]

Yes, it's Williams and Ree though...they were on the Grand Ole Opry once or twice.

[timmy tiger]

yeah, I hit the D by mistake.LOL Sorry about that.LMAO

But I love them they are funny.

They used to do the cooking part on one of those day time TV shows, I think it was Florence Henderson's show--but not totally sure there.LOL

Please help me with my dream to gert Native American & related music on 45 rpm records. I'm fed up with being refused help on this matter of mine. Please have both native & non-native recording labels as well as record manufacturers & anyone who makes & presses records to have Native American & related music put on 45 rpm records. I also found online some people who will make custom 45 rpm records & even their labels from what music & related images you upload to them.

You seem to have the connectios, so what is it that you are looking for?

I still have some vinyl stuff somewhere... lol.... I think that it's been years since I even thought of them....

[between2worlds]

LOL

Yup - that one came out as part of the backlash to the double nickle speed limit imposed in reaction to the gas crisis of the late 70s.

As for vinyl "coming back" - uhm some people never left :-)

Yeah, some never left, but good luck finding them.LOL A few times I couldn't find any in the stores and I have a friend who's a singer and they don't or didn't do the records anymore. If you wnated the radio stations to play your songs or music it HAD to be on CD only. And that was like 10-15 years ago even. They no longer played the vinyl records it was all done on CD's, some were still using Cassettes, but even then not all that many. And he told me then that they had discontinued making vinyl records. Just selling what was left.LOL So that's what I went by.LOL
