As a fan of records I am fascinated by this article:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unusual_types_of_gramophone_records
knew most of the techniques but some of the uses intrigue me. Why aren't more of these done nowadays, making records special in the face of illegal downloads?
Do you own any interesting unusual records? I have a fair few picture discs and coloured vinyls, couple of etched discs and one with unusual shape. Don't have any of the other sorts. Anyone with the technical savvy know if these techniques are hard to do (Unusual holes, locked grooves, inside to outside etc).
Links to similar pages appreciated!
