Loading ...Spent my early teenage years in both a recording studio, and a small record making plant. Was trying to locate a piece of plastic they once used to make a ‘vinyl record. Can remember the ‘plates’ used to make those vinyl records. Thought I still had one of those 4 x 6 inch piece of black plastic discs that they used to make a record. Have not been able to find one. I am sorry. Memories of that earlier times was a hot plant, over a hundred degrees in summer. A fella named ‘Tater’ pressing out those records, and I would take them off the press and throw a paper sleeve on them and run them through the heat shrink wrap machine to seal them in the album. I remember many a burn from the ‘sealing wires’. I remember the heat from the oven in August.
Still one of my faves of music. Digital is just too clean to suit me. I miss the needle in the groove, the crackles, hiss, and sounds of vinyl. I enjoy our posts of the ‘old days’. When the recording studio was a two inch tape with 24 tracks. I miss the smell of oil, and an olf hot record plant. Times where better back then, it seems.
Like your sunset. Kinda of has a gold lining don’t you think. Best to you, Barney and Mrs Aurum this evening, Farmboy
