Howdy,
Jeanne asks: <<what's up with the funky sayings inscribed in the smooth part
of the vinyl at the end of an album side?>>
>From time to time folks would sign the master copy of the wax pressing.
Sometimes, it was the artist's signature, sometimes a little stranger...
(for example, "Smell this.")
At work and away from my collection, but I recall that a Bobby Darin album
of mine has some sort of inscription. And a tribute box set of Elvis stuff
that came out around 1986 or so included the King's signature embedded in
the vinyl.
I recall one of my albums at one time or another had an inscription along
the lines of "Turn this record over." Just merry pranksters in the days of
wax and vinyl.
Now, I'm off to lunch and continue previewing new music that arrived in my
mailbox this week-- The Bystanders, Buck Diaz, Hillbilly Idol, and Elena
Skye & the Demolition String Band. Woo hoo.
Take care,
