Way back in the Stone Age, turntables used to come with multi-disc spindles;
you'd put a stack of records on, and as each one finished and the arm
retracted, the next one would drop into place (yep, on top of the
just-finished one) and start playing. To play a double LP with the sides in
proper sequence, you'd stack sides 1 and 2; when you flipped the whole stack
over, you'd get sides 3 and 4.
Thank God Jon Johnson just tossed off that "relatively young at 52" line...
