DIY Homemade Records Found At Flea Market Family Songs

Some samples of what was on this batch of DIY recordable records I found awhile ago. Probably from the 50's or 60's, I love the mystery of these sort of finds!!

yeah well i'm 19 and i like vinyl too. i have over 70 records, some really rare, dating from the 1960's to 2011. does that make me cool?

[djanchovy]

@taylorbortnerathing No, it just shows you have good taste. 

[taylorbortnerathing]

@djanchovy i was hoping i didn't have to explain that i was poking fun at the trend amongst young people to boast that they have knowledge of something. you constantly see comments on videos of kids saying "i'm 14 and like this", whatever it may be. as if they take extra pride in knowing about it because they're young.

i'm tempted to think that the 17 year is making up his story, because i have a 10 year old brother and i'm pretty sure he knows what a vinyl record is.

@taylorbortnerathing Old age is not being nice to me, lol! Enjoy your records.

I'm 17 and some of my friends (when digging through my vinyl) have genuinely asked what those "big dvds are" looooooollll... I love vinyl, the fact it's 'physically played'... really unique <3

[djanchovy]

@GrantRamsay82 Yeah, that's funny. It's nice to hear about 17 year olds enjoying vinyl. Keep digging!

thanks for sharing those. I have a few of the diy's. I enjoyed the first one most.. but they are all interesting. I wish $10 vinyl stops still existed. Bob Marley recorded early stuff like this.

I'm 12 and I went back in time to aid the invention of the original Victrola Talking Machines. Put that in your pipe and smoke it.

i'm 27 and i listen to vinyl. so fucking what.

[youthXattack]

@GrantRamsay82 Sounds like you have a collection of laserdisks not vinyl. nice lame ass attempt to get thumbs up.

[guyalanlewis]

@GrantRamsay82 Bollocks have they. I can't think of a single person I know, 17 or not, who doesn't know what vinyl is. Stop posting crap just to get thumbs up.

I'm 37 and I found seven 7" DIY records at an estate sale a couple years ago but I need a 78rpm turntable to hear them properly :P

I love finding treasures like these records and old home movies or slides, but at the same time, I'm a bit sad that they're no longer with the person's family/descendents... you know? ("All those people, all those lives- where are they now?") I hope you take extra special care of them :D

@melitosse It's a wonderful insanity! :)

[taylorbortnerathing]

@melitosse yes, you should see a psychiatrist. 

[melitosse]

@taylorbortnerathing Well I'm 19 too, I never buy cds. I have over 300 records, mostly, psych, garage, library music, post-punk and some ufos dating from the 50's to 2011. Does that make me insane ?

[taylorbortnerathing]

@djanchovy i always do!
