have never seen under the influence since it hasn't been released on dvd and i don't have the ability to stream it and have never seen it posted somewhere i could download it but it seems strange that thats what keith uses i mean he's richer than god surely he can afford something better



also for those of you at the right age to have been alive in the 60's and could have afforded or whose family could afford a nice hifi turntable what was it, what cart did you use, and what was the first stones record you played on it


and bonus for those of you who were kids then and whose parents had a nice setup where you allowed to play your stones records on it or did you have to use something not as nice play them (or did you just use your parent's when you could get away with it)

Toru A
When I was a kid, I dreamed of having a turntable with auto-changer system.

Ha...that's great Toru!

We had one, really cheap Fleetwood brand I think my parents bought from Kmart.

I recall one time I had something like 10 records stacked on top of one another. I remember at one point the needle hitting the record and the record not spinning, the ones underneath did though (scratching each other in the process I'm sure).

I was pretty young, 8 or 9 but remember thinking "oh, that's probably too many records".

Part of the physical design of a record, even to this day, had to do with being able to be played on those cheap consumer grade record changers of the day, that day being the 60s primarily. If you look at the edge of a record you will notice a raised area running around the circumference of the record. That is supposed to raise the records being stacked off the playing surface and as well when the next record drops down onto the previous for play. Doesn't work all that well unless the platters are pretty flat. But it was specifically so they could be played with less damage on those changers. Garrard made cheap ones but also a top of the line model I believe.


PS: that one Toru posted the pic of is of course a very high line model.

Never new that, thanks JB. Interesting how humans always make adaptations to things constantly trying to 'improve'.

It was mostly used on 7" 45s that were typically played on teenager little record players. I just checked a modern random 12" and there wasn't much of anything there but I pulled out an original Decca Stones record and the ridge was very apparent. So I guess that design feature has evolved out of existence.

...like yaself jb most likely last
raised up about UP about 50 years ago ..... HHHHaaaaa HHuuhhh...AAhhhh



ROCKMAN

more like fifty minutes ago but nice try Rockman.

jb

also something to note about record designs made for use with changers is the practice of making double albums that have side 1 & 4 on one record and side 2 & 3 on the other which was so they could be stacked and play 2 sides one after another then you would flip the 2 record stack and it would play sides 3-4

and i just got the new release of bob seger's live bullet and it still has that sequence though i don't know if it still has the raised edges have to check when i get home

glad the stones elected not to do this with exile and love you live its kinda annoying if you don't use a record changer

i swear i've seen one of those recently i just can't place it

Have you been to my place?

no but is it nice


but seriously does it work how does it sound and do you have a picture of the table

Yep it works. It belonged to my grandparents and I rescued it out of my parents basement years ago. I remember buying Back in Black in 1980 with mowing funds and spinning it in their family room. They thought I was nuts at the time.

thats cool thanks for sharing

i have my grandparents one like that but its a admiral from the 60's

I remember my Sticky Fingers imported from US had quite warpage at that era.
So that's what was going on.

A little less portable, though vinyl admittedly sounds like crap in on the iphone.

Any good moving cool cartridge. But there is a heck of a lot more than cartridge that effects vinyl.

did anyone have a high quality mono setup in the sixies i'm always intersted in hifi mono stuff from back then
