I was just a kid, early 60's, so I can't even remember the label. Didn't matter a bit to me then, and wouldn't matter much now, since that old portable flip-top record player wasn't exactly kind to records. That 45 probably got used for pellet gun practice way back when. Kids- what you gonna do? b.s. "The truth ain't always what we need, sometimes we need to hear a beautiful lie." -Bill Lloyd

Call me crazy, but wouldn't it make more sense to have Side 2 on the flip since the record is already right there on the friggin turntable? That way, when you put the antique vinyl discs on your hi-fi system, you can stack the discs in the changer so that you can listen to the sides in numerical order and only have to flip the discs once.

Re: old vinyl numbering systems
Yeah, Derek, that makes sense--because towards the end of the LP people pretty much gave up selling spindled record changers...the word was out that you probably got a better (watch for antique term here) record player for the buck with a single-disc turntable as part of your swell new stereo component system. So they started putting out multi-record sets ordered for flipping..one disc at a time. I seem to remember the switch from changers to single-LP turntables having to do with preservation, mostly, eliminating unnecessary wear and tear that came with an album making that four or five inch fall one too many times. At least that was a main reason for my such investment. Got me one of them Technics turntables with the belt motor and the stony strobe thing. And then I got me the record cleaner brush thing with the liquid drops and special plastic sleeves for that albums and different special plastic sleeves for the album jacket. I think I gave all that up when I went to college and started dating. Being a dork with a record cleaner isn't necessarily the best way to get laid. I preferred twelvers of Coors Light, the bong and whatever she wanted to listen to. But I digress. What were we talking about again? Neal Weiss np - Chuck E. Weiss - Extremely Cool

Howdy, Jeff Weiss, he say: Some sort of demarcation has just taken place. Those old enough to remember the stacking turntables and those who don't and, accordingly, are young 'uns. Stacking turntable spindle thingees those were the days. I loved the stacking turntable spindle thingees. As a young 'un, I'd put on a stack of as many of my momma's Elvis records as the spindle thingee could hold without getting too wobbly and I'd enjoy the rest of the day listening to the King and working on my Elvis impersonation skills. However, I really didn't care for those yellow insert thingees for 45s. You never could seem to find one when you needed one...usually my sister was turning them into strange future fashion headwear for Barbie dolls.
