My parents rock!

Not only did my dad give me his Oplymus OM-1n SLR camera when I found it cleaning the attic, but today when I was cleaning out the basement due to some minor flood damage, I found a Bang and Olufsen BeoGram 1700 Record Deck!!!! AND MY PARENTS GAVE IT TO ME!!

I AM VERY HAPPY AT THE MOMENT.

I never had played one, but I have always wanted too! Now is my chance. I have a Dire Straits vinyl that is it.
I would like a gramophone but wherever I go and ask about them, the people just give me odd confused faces!

I wish you lived in the UK, I've a vinyl collection in excess of easily 6/700 taking up space in my garage you could have with my blessing....honestly

Lord_magerius · 06-16-10, 03:53 PM

I'll quite happily take it off your hands Jim

I'd definitely hold on to vinyl, especially a bigger collection, those are quite often worth a good price.

Do you have any idea how old you make be feel? You never played a hard plastic disc with grooves on the surfaces that produce noise when a needle is run in the grooves? This disc is known as a record. Simply amazing how technology has changed. I thought I was kicking it when I had cassette tapes and got away from 8 tracks and records.

Enjoy. Some people still swear by records and nice turn tables. They claim the sound produces is the best. Gosh, my first album I purchased was Kiss Alive (in Japan)

I don't remember what my first LP (long player 33rpm) was but these were my first two SP (single play 45rpm):

Manfred Mann - Fox On The Run

The Move - Blackberry Way

Nowt like a bit of nostalgia

Sailor Steve · 06-17-10, 09:57 AM

Single: 7" disc with one song on each side - 45 RPM.

EP: 10" disc with two songs on each side - 45 RPM.

LP (Album): 12" disc with six or seven songs on each side - 33-1/3 RPM.

Of course before my time there were the 78s - 12" discs with one song on each side - 78 RPM. Any turntable from the era had a selector switch and could play all three. I still remember the coming of stereo, and "Hi-Fi" - high fidelity recording.

My first record? Beatles '65, the American version of Beatles For Sale. My stepmom's brother gave it to me for Christmas 1964.

Most parents rock.

One of the most satisfying things about being a parent is seeing your kid 'discover' something cool. It may be nothing new to you, but it is to them.

Funniest memory was when my son first discovered his shadow! Your parents knew you when you didn't know they existed, and will love you while waiting for you to notice them again.

I still have all my Ted Nugent records i bought in the seventies .
