I remember in 80's leanding a record to someone they coloured in the label. Some of the records been talking about here Sol. As been saying must kids at time.
Great video 👍..
I think this is what happens when your kids get hold of your records😬😬😬..
I have seen some really terrible looking records ' looks like someone has been playing frisbee with the dog to get it that scratched 😮😮
I feel your pain! Can’t understand it when I pick up records and they look like they’ve been used as a frisbee! I’m off to view a collection tonight, so fingers crossed they’re in good nick!
Wooo hope that went well!
That is criminal but then I agree with the other comments in that records were just for playing and not for keeping to a lot of people. That’s even more true with 7” singles. Plus the tracking weight back in the day was much heavier so if you knocked a record while playing, it would scratch. I’ve always looked after my records even as a kid - they even survived my parents’ radiogram !
Quite sad. I think some of the comments are right, disposable items at the time and not cared for in the same way as we do now knowing that they’ve been and gone and can’t be replaced. Something about vinyl that’s nice to have in a digital world but perhaps wasn’t valued the same when it was the norm.
I won't pretend surprise here. There's a local record store who sells (from I could gather) nothing but scratched records. The British seemed to treat records like they were dishcloths. I actually knew a guy who thought it was funny that he frisbeed singles out of his window in the 60s. Dreadful! By contrast, looking at second hand vinyl last year in Japan showed me that not all cultures are so throw away.
The simple truth is that the people that owned Beatles music in the 60s were children. Not Mums and Dads, not record collectors or audiophiles, but children. Why does it surprise you that many of them are damaged in that way. This culture of handling records like they are some kind of irreplaceable antiques is relatively new. When CDs came out in the late 80s records very quickly became regarded as yesterday's newspapers. Charity Shops weren't really a thing back then like they are now, but if you saw records at your local Jumble Sale or at Car Boot sales at that time they were about as sellable as VHS cassettes are now.
It surprises me how people could treat anything they own like that!
