Re: [ARSCLIST] The Future of RECORD Collecting - an interesting documentary

[Steve Ramm <Stevramm@xxxxxxx>]

Phil Hit my point right on the head. As I said these are not Rappers. And  as 
for tape. There is a guy there that made mixtapes using some reel to real  
tape. As I said, it's worth renting as it's well done and I'll await others  
comments on the "stash of vinyl" in the basement which contains a few 100,000  
vinyl LPs.
 
Just like watching "March of the Penguins" to learn more about them and  
their environment, watching "Scratch" will show you an interesting subculture,  
who may well keep the vinyl record alive.
 
Oh yes, as I understand it, the needles are made for scratching. Radio  
stations used to "scratch" the intros to cue up a 45. I learned the hard way at  
home that this didn't work with consumer turntables!
 
There's also a film titled "Vinyl" but I haven't seen it yet.
