Thinking back to when this record was issued, I don't think I would have had the guts to bring it up to the counter for payment! Sorry about the mishap though. We've all had those moments I'm afraid.
Record mishaps
Just dropped a pristine 1957 Faye Richmond Girlesque record I received from ebay on (of all places) the corner of my end table, while examining it under my table lamp. This resulted in a few what appear to be superficial scratches 🙄.....so what was pristine is now.... not so much...depressed....has anyone else ever done something stupid such as this in regards to record handling? This is a first for me. I'm hoping to play it at some point to see if the scratches are audible....its a mono record, so I think it may play ok.Â

"its a mono record, so I think it may play ok" What does that have to do with playing it? I collect cool chick album covers from the 50/60’s. I have this one. https://images.search.yahoo.com/search/images;_ylt=Awr9DtIxxZFe3nQAER9XNyoA;_ylu=X3oDMTE0bDJzZDMyBGNvbG8DZ3ExBHBvcwMxBHZ0aWQDQjk4NDhfMQRzZWMDcGl2cw--?p=faye+richmond+gor+men+only&fr2=piv-web&fr=mcafee&guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly9zZWFyY2gueWFob28uY29tL3NlYXJjaD9mcj1tY2FmZWUmdHlwZT1FMjExVVM3MTRHMCZwPWZheWUrcmljaG1vbmQrZ29yK21lbitvbmx5&guce_referrer_sig=AQAAAMNueN9JTSTyqFPcH01SRtsQ9kx7LsJJqd8C_53dzyE25ArdOqAcEdyxfSM35wP9iXswD_SlEEAfBr6MgDTli0kS2TXEegl6mRghvuoHmPCAWCwh7gbDjLN_wyWa44AW9ynffYgt5mVSh6lk555tbW9nqqHYyRZ44GhHcl-pdeqc&_guc_consent_skip=1586611541#id=1&iurl=https%3A%2F%2Fc2.staticflickr.com%2F6%2F5143%2F5571906716_9431cf8c10.jpg&action=click Superficial scratches especially on older records,doesn’t necessarily mean sonic degradation. Old records typically are better quality=more resistant to abuse. |
I got that from watching a video by Michael Fremmer...he mentions for some unexplained reasons, that a mono record from the 50s and 60s are seemingly less susceptible to damage as far as scratches etc. He could not provide the reason, but coming from him the supposed guru, it makes me feel better. He claims to have played many mono records that looked absolutely trashed with great results. I'd post the video, but not sure how. As far as bringing a record with a cover such as this up to counter, that would not bother me at all, but the fact I bought it anonymously via ebay was a bit easier! Lol...honestly I own records that are way more risque than this one! As far as kicking the end table, yes it crossed my mind! In fact I wanted to throw it accross room lol but I would have destroyed something else.... |
