I came across these images of a lady who obviously likes her vinyl....


   


PD take note  8)
Oh, cool! I suspect that she had a specially-for-her built house though!  Love that she has library ladders too!  Did you notice that in the second picture that in the room beyond, there are compact bookstacks/movable track shelving.  More LPs?  Or is that where she keeps her books?  ;D 

Ah, I just checked out the article (haven't watched the film yet); looks like most of it is Latin and Caribbean music?   :)    https://thevinylfactory.com/films/gladys-palmera-latin-american-vinyl/

No, it is all vinyl. Her books are in another part of the house.

Yes, she apparently specializes in Latin and Caribbean music.

I did watch the film. It is in Spanish and I speak no Spanish but it was still interesting.

And a radio station too!  8)  I watched some of the longer film.  Am having trouble finding their shorter version with the subtitles though.  Any idea where one can see that Fergus?

Thank you for the link, PD.

You're welcome Fergus.  :)  I found it to be quite interesting (both of them actually, though like you, I don't speak Spanish so the original version was lost on me in many respects).  Found it to be quite amazing that she went from (originally asked) hosting a radio program to starting her own radio stations in three cities in Spain!

Yes, indeed, PD. I found her and her collection fascinating especially that really thick vinyl and the huge one which must be nearly 24". Wonderful.

Trying to recall what I read ages ago about those huge (wide) records.  Weren't they used for awhile in radio stations?

I honestly have never seen them before. I do not know how they would be played. Surely a very large platter would be required?

They are called Transcription discs mainly used by radio stations. I have seen a BBC modified Garrard 401 with an enlarged platter.

Great, and thank you for the link also.

Classics and Vinyl for their latest upload feature Sinfonia Concertante by Malcolm Williamson. A most imaginative choice which I enjoyed greatly.

Kicking myself! Came across the double LP between lockdowns and passed as already having the VC included on my shelves.

You can't get them all but, yes, I hate when that happens.

Whenever I'm sensible I end up regretting it and not only collecting records! :D

lol Personally, if I came across that LP, I think that I might recoil in horror and run away screaming.  ;)

André Le Nôtre

Muzak gets a bad rap, but I actually kind of enjoy it in the background in some settings--the airport for example.

I can also tell you that I'd rather listen to Muzak than much of what passes for "music" in our society. (Does that make me a snob? I hope so!  :P  )
