Now this is REAL old school...... You know you're an old motherfucker when you've seen 78s.....
My grandmother used to have several of them. Those records were thick as hell. Andy is a four letter word. | |

I think we have a stack of them out in the garage. They're thick, but also very fragile. | |

I can't remember but I think they had only one song on side A (kinda like a 12 Inch) and a clear blank B side. I don't know what you would play them on because I haven't seen a turntable with a 78 speed in years.  Andy is a four letter word. | |

Reminds me of the Sanford & Son episode where Bubba masqueraded as Blind Mellow Jelly's son. "I want my daddy's records!"

I think I had a few children's records that were 78 rpm. This is going waaay back of course.
This is such a coincidence because just this morning, my brother and I were asking his wife (who was born in 1979) if she knew what a 45 was in reference to music and she knew it was a record, but didn't know what the number 45 actually meant. And she's only ten years younger than me! | |

My grandmother used to have several of them. Those records were thick as hell. How can you transfer all of THAT data to CD or DVD?!?  | |

A few years ago, my young Step-Daughter saw a couple of 78's we had in storage and said "Wow! These sure are some big cd's"

 My grandfather brought stacks of them back from Europe I guess in the 40s or 50s when he was there. It's a lot of classical music.
They are thick as all get out. perfection is a fallacy of the imagination... | |
