Robert and Susan (big brother and sis) had a stereo (of earlier vintage), and before this I had a kid's all-plastic kid's record player. But this was the big leagues, baby!
It looked a lot like the above. (I often wonder if Mom and Dad regretted the loud choice!)
I had somebody take me to Wards and in the record department I bought two LPs, soundtracks to that summer's big sci-fi epic 2001: A Space Odyssey.
Above are the front and rear LP jacket. Note the wear patterns!
But see the label wear around the hole in the record? I played this sucker A LOT!
Likewise, this "music inspired by" album.
As you can see, THIS record didn't get as much wear as the first one. But still, I know every note of these eclectic collections. When I re-found the pieces online or on CD, my memory notices the LACK of surface noise or ticks in the originals.
You can buy a re-released version of the 2001 soundtrack all over the place, My post on the Record Round-Up concerning the "music inspired by" is here.
Have YOU got any similar worn-down treasures?
