[78-L] Who says some phono collectors aren't creepy?

[Philip Carli]

Well, both sides of course have their creepinesses, doing both and knowing both myself.  It's a little unsettling that the motion picture poster-child for record collecting is the excellent, but distinctly off-kilter, Steve Buscemi in _Ghost World_... P Carli

HUH?????  Except for the motorless hand-crank Berliners or tinfoil
machines, turning a crank backwards only unscrews or detaches the crank,
not cause the turntable to turn backwards.  There was no dialog in this
scene, and in making movies, if there is on-set noise they don't want
they re-record the dialog in a technique called "looping".

What examples do you have?  I'm not sure about this one because the
youtube stream was herky-jerky and there were not enough frames to
determine which way the turntable was turning, at least on my computer.

Examples???  This one starts with the sound of the music from what could
be any recording of it, and then dissolves into a modern sound of the
recording because the hi-fi sound is more dramatic and is better
understood by today's audience.  I don't think they are claiming that
the hi-fi recording is coming out of the horn, or that the 78 was a
modern recording.  This was not a modern piece of music.  It had been
recorded in the 78 era.

And Steve, I never said that some phono collectors aren't creepy.  Some
are VERY creepy.  But after all, we here on the 78-L are RECORD
collectors, not PHONOGRAPH collectors!!!!!
