THE SPACES ON YOUR VINYL RECORDS HAVE NAMES!!!

The Spaces on Your Vinyl Have Names!!!
Vinyl Record terms
Prior to 1948, your vinyl (or any records ) did NOT have a groove guard. This brilliant little addition to your vinyl was added by Columbia Records, as a way to both protect the grooves of your record, and prevent your needle from taking a "wrong turn.” Most of the time, you will see that your dead wax has no grooves. On earlier records, before the introduction of the automatic return feature on record players, grooves were cut in the dead wax ,
(referred to as “eccentric run out grooves,”) which made the tone arm “wiggle” back and forth, and signaled to the machine to return the arm, and in some cases, to drop the next record! It is a clue I use when crate digging, that often indicates an original press of a record! But, contrary to common belief, both the LEAD In GROOVE and the TRACK BANDS, Do have grooves! Your needle would not play through the record if they did not!!! By the way… Also contrary to common believe, they do have sound! Listen to that warm crackle when you drop you needle in the Lead in groove…. That my friends.. Is the sound of silence :) Hello vinyl my old friend!.
