RE: cryptic messages in old vinyl numbering systems
The weirdest runout groove messages I ever found are on the Triffids EP
"Fields Of Glass" - they read: "Pope Guilty of Intercourse", "Papal Semen
Identified".
Others I can recall reading are "Hooley Dooley", "I've got a twelve-stwing
Wickenbacker", "John, call me - 691 8413".
These are all on Australian records, by the way. The sort of people that
must work in vinyl pressing plants...tsk tsk.

Well, my favorite "scribe" comes courtesy of the Minutemen--I think
all of the SST bands of the 80's did this--who write "Arena Rock is the
New
Wave on side d. of Double Nickels on the Dime. This is followed by side
mike's "Punk Rock is the New Nostalgia." Any chance to bring up this
album,
and I'm there.
Whoo-hoo! says me, who will also do the same. :)
I think every Minutemen album has "scribes": e.g., Ballot Result ("You
choose a hero's kingdom"(side one) "...or a mean democracy?"(side
two)..."Want to focus?..." (side three)..."Bofus?" (side four)) or
Project:Mersh ("Full Circle--The Concept becomes reality--now deal with
it!!")
Lance, wondering if he wants new wave, or if he wants the truth . . .
Actually, have you ever heard Dos' version of that song?? Maybe even
better than the original...
Steve Kirsch (who still thinks "Dreams Are Free, Motherfucker" is the
best song title of all time, even if it isn't a very good song:))

You've missed some great Neil Young, then. --Matt Cook "Splendid isolation, I don't need no one"--Warren Zevon Geffry King wrote: I recall a Neil Young album of some kind that had "Hello Waterface" etched into side 1 and "Goodbye Waterface" etched into side 2. Don't ask me which one - the last Neil Young I heard was on a Warren Zevon album.
cryptic messages in old vinyl numbering systems
Good morning all, Just when this thread is dying out, I'd like to throw out another vinyl query: what's up with the funky sayings inscribed in the smooth part of the vinyl at the end of an album side? (as I typed this question, my better half looked over my shoulder, mumbled a quasi-answer, then went and grabbed a copy of an album from one of his old bands. There, etched in the vinyl are the words, "Smell this.") Just wondering . . . Jeanne
Re: cryptic messages in old vinyl numbering systems
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.

Strohm (Re: cryptic messages in old vinyl numbering systems)
np: John Strohm--"Caledonia" (anyone ever seen this guy live?...he's playing SXSW and I'm wondering what to expect) I saw him live is LA a few months back Steve. Nothing extraordinary as far as presence, just another alt-ish singer-songwriter in a sport coat, if I remember correctly. But that's okay, cuz the songs are pretty decent, somewhere between crunchy pop and Petty. And that's all that ultimately matters, right? Then again, if he had that Parks gal from Nashville Pussy on stage that would be something. Never much of a fan of the sport-coat-in-rock look. Neal Weiss
