nothing like a 3 ply fingering is there

I remember my older sister had all her records in wire record racks, all packed in with no sleeves.

Mind you, She did leave home in 1962, and went living in Canada.

Remember when you used to pile 6 or 7 records on top of each other on the record player then they would start skidding on the turntable.......so you would put a 3d or later on a 2p piece on the arm of the needle...

yes:rolleyes: still got the old dansette!
