But then again, I still enjoy some mild scratchiness when I put a vintage LP on the turntable for old times' sake. Come to think of it, I think I'll drag an old Beatles LP out of storage and give it a "compare and contrast" listen sometime soon.<br /><br />JKM: We'll probably never know if that was KGON or some dodgy wires in your car. <br /><br />I love the link to Ringo-on-a-water-drop!

Pepper's?<br /><br />I'm seeing miraculous images also ;-}<br />http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/music/the-beatles/6501395/Beatle-Ringo-Starrs-face-seen-in-water-droplet-on-lotus-leaf.html)<br /><br />I have to agree with the dissenters on this - looks more like George to me. . .Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7290502109749603872.post-44125814158079516732009-11-05T07:32:33.807-08:002009-11-05T07:32:33.807-08:00I think the "fake stereo" sound has the ...I think the "fake stereo" sound has the same nostalgic appeal as scratches on an LP or ghost tracks. It makes listening with big bulky vintage headsets a thorough throwback to the days of lying on the floor listening to bad stereo recordings - without complaining or being aware of just how bad they sounded (or the risks of permanent hearing damage).hairpinracinghttp://www.hairpinracing.comnoreply@blogger.com
