Black Friday Record Store Day 2019 – RSD Vinly Finds

Monie Muse – This year I participated in Record Store Day and hunted for some new and used records. We decided to visit Rhino Records in Claremont. I managed to find records I have been looking for. The record store was fully stocked with their Black Friday releases, I ended up finding a great recommendation Love Story from 1970, and a friend recommended singer songwriter, Nick Drake record called Bryter Layter. It’ll be my Christmas gift.

Create Unique Music For Your Videos In GarageBand

Instead of using music from a collection or jingles from iMovie you can easily create your own video soundtrack in GarageBand. It only takes a few minutes to combine a drum track with other loops and then export some music that you can drag and drop into iMovie or Final Cut Pro. Then your video will have unique royalty-free music that fits the content.

How a forgotten 1949 Format War shaped the future of records

Once upon a time the 45 and the LP were rival formats. This video tells the story how RCAs beef with Columbia ended up shaping the future of popular music.

This is a video about the Format War of 1949. Things like 12″ 45s, 45 RPM Albums, EPs, 16rpm records, Polystyrene singles and 45s with a raised stepped ridge around the centre that aids grip when stacked don’t feature in this story because they were introduced after the conclusion of this particular story.

Regarding the question posed at the end – a few people have mentioned that the record players in their country had single adaptors. This was not unusual. I’ve demonstrated a few turntables on this channel with the built-in 45 adaptors. If your turntable didn’t have a built in adaptor – you could buy one. However that’s the result – not the cause. The records came first – the players accommodated the type of records sold in that country. A country could have chosen to go with small or large holes – the decision on which way they went was the thing of interest – what was the common denominator? Why was a large spindle hole chosen in Germany, but a small one in the UK?

We think we have an answer – it seems that Commonwealth countries went with the small hole and countries with a US armed forces presence after the war were more inclined towards the large hole. However if you know any other info on this – please share.
