Re: [ARSCLIST] How to make a 7 inch single



...Sheer ignorance, I'd imagine. As recently as last week the BBC website was promoting a radio feature about "jazz saxophonist Fats Waller".

Middlesex hasn't existed since since 1965, being now incorporated into Greater London. But that wasn't the case 100 years ago.

The second story supposedly celebrates the 100th anniversary of VINYL. "One hundred years has passed since the first vinyl record was pressed in a West London factory." Is THIS the quality of BBC news reporting??? Is this factory in Hayes or West London? Last time I was in Hayes it was in Middlesex, a train ride outside of London. Is this the 100th anniversary of record pressing in this factory? Or the use of Vinyl?? Did HMV use Vinyl earlier than 1931 Victrolac vinyl pressings??? Or is it yet another case of a reporter not knowing what the hell he is talking about?
