Remember when

U betcha ace!

 

My kids had the Johnny Jump Up, that clamped on a door frame.

Bungee jumping for babies.

 

I remember my Mom buying cartons off those to give my Bum Alcoholic Grandfather for Christmas. He actually showed up a couple of Christmases.

Yes Sir

Me three. Homes with AC are rare here.

I'd been in the Air Force 1 yr & 7 months.

I graduated HS a week earlier.

I'm a dinosaur.

Best put kid to sleep baby-sitter EVER.

Yep, us too. Both our boys loved that thing.

 

Yes but so loud to crank back up!!

 

I swear I can hear this swinging in the picture lol

 

'Bout forgot that part.

 

Lol!!! So did I!!

Was the worst feeling when ya had to crank it again…. Will it awaken the beast or will the Gods spare you? Was a crap shoot!!

 

QFT

 

I don’t remember that rumor but I do remember the one claiming Eddie Haskell from Leave It To Beaver was Johnny the Wad Holmes lol

 

Yup…. Then I did for mine!

 

Or the cable box..or the VCR..

 

I could fit maybe two cards on my old 9" portable B&W Zenith TV...

 

Don’t be surprised if they can. Vynil has made quite the come back.

But I am sure they won’t know why my original A&M pressing of “Frampton Comes Alive” - a 2 LP set - has sides 1&4 on one disk and sides 2&3 on the other...

 

Interested...spill

 

It was cut and pressed for automatic sequencing... Meaning, it was meant to be played on a record changer.

You'd stack the first disk with side 1 up on the spindle first, then the second disk with side 2 up on the spindle next. You'd then start your changer. It would drop the first disk, play side 1. When complete, the tone arm would retract / move out of the way, and it would drop the second disk, which would begin side 2. Now, when side 2 was done, the tone arm would retract and since there were no additional records on the spindle, it would stop. You'd get up, and simply turn the whole stack over. Now, the bottom disk would have side 3 facing up (on the second disk), and top disk would be the first disk with side 4 facing up. Start the changer again, and you listen to sides 3 and 4.

This video explains the changer and why the records were cut / pressed for them:

Multi-record LP's stopped being cut / pressed for automatic sequencing some time in the late 70's. I know my "Grease" and "Saturday Night Fever" LP's (originals) are cut for single play...
