76 rpm right? and this record is rather strange! it plays inward to outward

[videorestore2]

@rweerakkody4565 : in fact it's between 90 and 100 rpm.

[rweerakkody4565]

@videorestore2 nice! thats quite a fast speed! but they slowed that up with the LPs. by the way, does your record really play the other way, as in in to outward?

[videorestore2]

@rweerakkody4565 : YES ! No tricks. They are made that way.

[beatlesfan1975]

why is the needle going outward? wouldnt it have to be going backwards for it to be doing that?

[videorestore2]

@beatlesfan1975 :That's the way this disc was recorded. The start was at the center instead off the outer side.

Well, considering the "quality" of todays so called music, would anybody in a 100 years time want to listen to it ? This is excellent, let us have more. I sometimes think we have passed the peak of quality in music and culture (exceptions of course). We seem to be on a depressing downward slide.

The theory was: Since most music (classical music) starts low and soft and finishes high and loud, you would want the higher fidelity offered by the outer grooves of the record (relative to the inner grooves, which are effectively slower because of the lower diameter) toward the end of the piece.

Personally, I can't tell the difference. There have always been audiophiles.

@EmmetEarwax Hi. I little trick. If you are using a stereo cartridge, reverse the phase on one channel (Switch the + and - wires around). This will make the cartridge sensitive to hill and dale. I do this all the time with Edison records, and they sound the same as my Edison H-19.

[EmmetEarwax]

My modern phonograph, tho stereo, can play a "hill & dale" record, tho the sound is not as loud as a regular record, acoustic or electric. I have "Kitten on the keys","Monastery Waltz" and 2 Billy Jones & Ernie Hare songs on such.

I have some aluminum records that play this way. They are speech practice records, and some pieces like "A day at Coney Island" and "The rat who couldn't make up his mind" were recorded over & over. There were also excerpts from famoud speeches.

@voxhumanapipe "I am horrified at the thought of all the terrible music that will preserved on record for all time." - Sir Arthur Sullivan, in a message to Thomas Edison, October 1888. (Some doubt the authenticity of that record, but I don't care - the message, by whoever it is, is very prescient!)

[dave631bnetzero]

Even more interesting, these records move the needle up and down, not side to side like common records (Notice the reproducer is facing front to back, not left to right like most acoustic 78 players.

This kind of music allways reminds me of fairgrounds.

Wow! I've two records of this.
