Good Question! I think the design is in the plastic but you would need to check on that.

If the record was made from a digital recording, it will not the same as one made directly from live music.

Thanks, I'll check!

And ohhh so old ones were live?

They were recorded to tape and then the record was pressed from a master. The process was all analog and had different dynamics. After about 1980, recordings were digital and the records were made from that.

You can still get all analog if the recording studio uses the older tape system

It really is! But it's funny, I was never really that into it, always bought CDs, shirts, or posters or whatever at shows and online, didn't really the point of vinyl. But then one day about 2 years ago I was talking to a friend about his vinyl collection and then I started ordering them, buying at shows (tour exclusives), etc. and now I have a pretty big collection.

KD I thought vinal was dead until my DS bought DW a record player for X-mas... I can now play my records from the 40's-60's for my grand daughter... Music that is no longer available in popular circles...

You should play them. It is not that easy to scratch them.

Since there are a lot of them, they likely will not become worth too much in the future. Mostly fun and you get a different dynamic range with records --analog and not digital

X2 It's hard to explain, but music on vinal is so dynamic and wonderful to listen to. I still have a record that we recorded at band camp (no pun intended) of the 1812 overture... It's powerful and amazing. I always found myself in the symphonic circles... The music was just incredible and moving... That said, I was horrible at Jazz but loved it.

Hatch update: every tray has a hand full of birds in it.... I had to assist two tonight. One needed out of the shell the other I hit blood and quit. Hatch rate for ducks is really low, chicks almost 100%.

Bob sorry about the duck hatch rate, are they generally harder than chickens to hatch?

I hope you can figure out the duck issue. They might need a bit more humidity during incubation. If you are in the 30% range, try 40% before lockdown

Yup.

Wow that's awesome!

And I'll have to experience listening to it. That recording sounds awesome! And I do love some of that stuff too, symphony and orchestra and stuff. Jazz is really fun, especially the fusion stuff.

My son bought me an record player several years ago. JUST after I sold nearly all my LPs- needed the $$. The Half price store offered me a piddly 25Cents each. I walked out. Some man heard me and said he would pay much more. I told him the address and said it would take me such and such a time to walk home. I DID not want to ride with him.
When I got home he was already parked in my driveway.

It was broad daylight and my neighbors across the street were home - people used to look out for each other then.I felt good about that.

Told him I would bring the records down, he was at my bedroom door before I got there.
The only thing I had going for me is I can appear appear to be perfectly calm, when I am screaming on the inside. It has served me well on several occasions.

He took nearly all my records for $ 2. each and said I had them stored well, so he didn't need to try any first. Offered me a check, I said I only take cash. Took off to find an automated teller. Paid, left, fine.

A short time later he called and said if he wasn't married he would ask me out. WHAT???

I lied and said I had a boyfriend and wasn't planning to give him up. GEEZ. No wonder I prefer to be a hermit.

Another time some punks in the neighborhood were harassing me - can't remember why but the leader, came up to me and let me know all the things he could do to me. I said
" Go ahead, it takes a pretty BIG man to abuse a an old arthritic lady.Plus it's a felony if you assault a senior citizen." "Your buddies will be embarassed by you." He got a weird look on his face. I offered him a solution.

I told him we could both laugh,shake hands and smile like we actually knew each other. It worked. I don't know what he said to his gang BUT, I locked myself in the house and stayed there. And also had a major crying jag.
