BFrank Posted January 15, 2004 Report Posted January 15, 2004 patricia - this is from AMG: The group's third studio album in its original packaging is a find for fans of vinyl trickery: The B-side contains two continuous tracks, leaving the stylus a 50/50 chance at playing the track you want. REALLY!!! B) Quote
JSngry Posted January 15, 2004 Report Posted January 15, 2004 That AMG blurb leads me to ask - what OTHER forms of "vinyl trickery" are there? Quote
couw Posted January 15, 2004 Report Posted January 15, 2004 Well supposedly there are albums you need to play in reverse to hear the real (usually evil) message. Never tried myself. Quote
Jazzmoose Posted January 15, 2004 Report Posted January 15, 2004 Well supposedly there are albums you need to play in reverse to hear the real (usually evil) message. Never tried myself. Yup. There's the infamous Cannibal Corpse LP that played backwards repeats over and over "clean your room". Absolutely chilling! Quote
mikeweil Posted January 15, 2004 Report Posted January 15, 2004 None of this exists, I'm afraid, but German pianist Wolfgang Dauner in the liner of one of his early LPs wished for Vinyl where 1. the stylus elicits various odours during playback 2. the record destroys itself at the end (that was before Mission Impossible?) 3. the groove always starts the same way, but ends variably don't remember the other ideas ....

Jazzmoose Posted January 16, 2004 Report Posted January 16, 2004 Really? Which one? I have a few of them... B) And a very clean room, I'm sure... (Damn! You think you're picking an obscure group and this happens!! ) Quote
vibes Posted January 16, 2004 Report Posted January 16, 2004 Well supposedly there are albums you need to play in reverse to hear the real (usually evil) message. Never tried myself. Sepultura's "Schizophrenia" album has some yelling on the first track. A long time ago, I recorded it onto my hard drive and played it in reverse. The yelling was actually one word - schizophrenia.

BFrank Posted January 16, 2004 Report Posted January 16, 2004 Not that odd, but I have a 12" promo EP called 'Eric "Slowhand" Clapton on White' with Cocaine, The Core, Lay Down Sally and Wonderful Night on white vinyl. Quote
JSngry Posted January 16, 2004 Report Posted January 16, 2004 Good luck doing a line off of THAT one! Quote
Nate Dorward Posted January 16, 2004 Report Posted January 16, 2004 Some less exotic stuff-- Some early-music nuts I knew had an album which was a series of variations on, I think, "La Folia" (if not, it was "L'Homme Arme")--pastiches of every conceivable classical-music style, pop versions, rock version, country versions, jazz versions.....anyway, the set of variations is extended right to the centre of the disc, right under the label, so eventually the arm bumps the label & you get stuck. There's of course various instances of locked grooves--probably the best known jazz album with one is Escalator Over the Hill. Quote
brownie Posted January 16, 2004 Report Posted January 16, 2004 Yes, what's this business about 'locked grooves' on 'Escalator Over the Hill'? Quote
patricia Posted January 23, 2004 Author Report Posted January 23, 2004 I'll repeat BFrank's question, "Locked grooves? What are they?? Quote
clifford_thornton Posted January 23, 2004 Report Posted January 23, 2004 When the disc is cut so the needle sticks in the groove, creating a loop. I don't remember that on EOTH, though. Sometimes it can be an unintentional pressing defect, too. Quote

BruceH Posted January 27, 2004 Report Posted January 27, 2004 Like the fabled "inner groove" at the end of Sgt. Pepper I presume. Quote
Nate Dorward Posted January 27, 2004 Report Posted January 27, 2004 I can doublecheck once I get my turntable going again, but at least on my copy the final ring-modulator track at the end of the Bley album sticks in a loop right at the end, & I'm pretty sure it's intentional. Quote
Guest ariceffron Posted January 31, 2004 Report Posted January 31, 2004 how come the fidelity on 16s was only as good as a telephone, according to that page?!??!? Quote
