  • I suppose that's true. I'm sure there's a reason why 78 RPM is 33 more RPM than 45, but I don't know why those speeds were chosen specifically.

    (Are there no other vinyl fans here?)

    Don't leave out the 16 rpm records.

    I've never actually seen a 16rpm. My mother had a few 78s that she had inherited from my grandmother.
    I used to have a stack of 45s half my height, until my son, then aged three, got to them ...

    Most of the 16 rpm records were used for talking books and mostly used in the 1950's.

      You’re starting to needle me again, and I can’t stand it when you sing that same old song, it’s as if you’re trying to set a record, but I don’t want to go round and round about it. Peace out, player!

    My uncle who drown in Boston Harbour was 35 in 65, and now, Hughey would be clearly 91 today but not okay because he washed up in back of The Boston Police Department station 5 days later. This post was edited by CosmicWunderkind at July 9, 2021 7:04 PM MDT
