What are you listening to?

[MattiThundrrr]

between 1959 and 1966 all the squares turned round.

...the sixties

 

[Ulu]

You have no clue my young friend.

It was the explosion of accessible High Fidelity, buddy. Transistors! FM radio, longplaying record albums, hi-fi stereo tape in the car!

Even forgetting about the changes in music itself, If you were an audio junkie like me it was a very exciting time.

The explosion of high powered amplifiers was a big deal too. I fixed a lot of TVs and radios in the 60s, and set up many sound systems.

The highlight for me was about 1971 when I got to wire up the sound system for the county fair demolition derby.

It was part of the tractor pull, which I had no interest in. Wonder of wonders, my girlfriend’s father was running the thing, and he got me to be the tech inspector.

That’s when they found out that I was the only one that knew how to set up the sound system.

You have no clue my young friend...

I guess my joke didn't come through

between 1959 and 1966 all the squares turned round

I was taking your comment about the record's graphics (which I adore, by the way) and extending it to a sort of social commentary on the era

I have a '63 1/2 Ford Galaxie that has a quadraphonic amplifier behind the backseat and I can see where the optional phonograph used to be installed under the dash. A real rocking machine in '63!

 

[Ulu]

We had a 63 Mercury Monterey, and that was the optional accessory that we did not get. Do you remember madman Muntz?

No Matti, we were making exactly the same joke, buddy.

This morning’s wake up call:

This album was recorded in three channels and mixed down to stereo. I cannot find a date on it anywhere but my mom bought this 50 years ago and it was used then. I’m guessing this was produced right around 1960.

 

[MattiThundrrr]

Good guess. According to discord, released 1960

[Ulu]

Hmmm… I thought discord was something else.

You're right, it is... I blame autocorrect, I'm sure I typed discogs.

I only knew the name in regards to the Muntz Jet...just read a synopsis of his careers and background. Super impressive.

 

[Ulu]

Ohh today some smooth guitar…

 

[Ulu]

By the way, at Thanksgiving dinner I put on the Brandenburg concertos number three. I think for Christmas I’m going to put up the Dropkick Murphys right before dinner.
