As you can see, playing a record is complicated and you must follow these instructions to a tee. Granted, this is before balanced lightweight tone arms were the norm. Records I bought new and took care of over the years have held up wonderfully. As with most of the used 45's I have purchased, the owner didn't carefully read the instructions.
The Stores. The Chores. The Mainstream. The Oddball. The Serious. The Goofy. The Awesome. The Not So Awesome. 45's. 33's. The 'What Were They Thinking.' Stories from the Store. Observations from my armchair.

Why should I care what this guy has to say?
The correct answer is that you shouldn’t. We’re all entitled to our opinions. Develop your own. I try to be sane and rational, but that may change with the level of caffeine intake. I’m just telling my stories in the hopes they may amuse and/or inform others. And... I Confess... I'm showing off my bitchen collection a bit.
