45 vs LP - The 1949 format war

Finally, here’s the video I’ve been spending most of my time on for the last few weeks.

I thought this was a tale worth telling and it’s been a bit of a passion project.

This one involved buying a vintage RCA record player as well as importing quite a few seventy year old records. The majority of the records really aren’t up my street - but they were all important in helping tell the story. I really hope the effort has been worthwhile. 

I’ll talk a bit more about this video in the next patreon update - that will be along in a few days.

I have a record (I think it is a 7-inch 33 1/3) which I think came as sold (in the Netherlands maybe?) with the big hole and a spider in it. For as long as I can remember we have had a solid, cylindrical adapter for records with the large centre hole. This is in Sweden.

Excellent! You truly are the master of telling these kind of tech stories. Now we're all awaiting the truth behind that mysterious 16 RPM label found on some turntables.
