This one-of-a-kind piece was recently purchased by Jack White at auction. On February 26, he met with legendary music archivist Alan Stoker at…

Interesting read about early "Long Play" and its technology http://www.stevenlewis.info/crosby/lphist.htm

The long-playing record, or "LP," was introduced to the public in 1948 by CBS Records. Philco was the first to market a phonograph to play these new records. Bing Crosby was beginning his 3rd year as host of Philco Radio Time when Philco launched their advertising campaign to sell the new phonograph…

BTW / FYI
Rufus Thomas was the preeminent DJ of Memphis’ WDIA, the nation’s first radio station with an "All-Black" air staff. A triple-threat performer of song, dance, and comedy, Thomas’ nighttime show "Hoot and Holler" was an influential source of blues and R&B for a generation of white and Black listeners alike. Thomas also hosted amateur talent shows on Memphis’ famed Beale Street, premiering young talents like B.B. King, Ike Turner, and Bobby “Blue” Bland.

A good quality Vintage vinyl playing unit will sound and perform WAY better better than any USB plastic type. It's all about the tonearm and its ability to reproduce all of the vinyl sound. The new Plastic (cheap) types are using a ceramic pickup and are fixed to weigh and track at 4gram on up....unlike say a Dual ..Elac or Technics which can track as low as 1.5 - 2 gramms and use a higher quality pickup and re-produce all the dynamics in the groove. There is a deeper truth of sound locked inside the records grooves !

vinyl vinyl and more vinyl

The crackle of a vinyl revival has been getting louder this year as dropping the needle on a record becomes ever more in vogue. But what has been championed as a victory for music purists is putting a strain on a creaking industry.
