Needle skates a black lake of lines,
a sleeveless glide with metal tip precision,
my inaugural lap’s all pop and sizzle.
Dizzy from the depth of each gyration,
crisp combinations end in a scratch spin,
a standing ovation, a warbling win.

A new favorite 45.
Photo is my current stash. I have an old record player that will play a nice stack. The best.

It’s great that you appreciate the old stuff, 1975 was a great year!

the opening lines bring back memories: I still remember my first ’45: ‘Endless Sleep’ by Jody Reynolds 🙂

ooh, I will have to play that one. I wouldn’t mind a bit of endless sleep here. Wonder what that feels like.

We still play some vinyl. (Although husband does not approve of stacking!). Love that first line in particular. .

Thank you. I know, it’s not good for them. But, then I can listen in for longer. Love the random stack. Great to have a new vinyl friend. Record shopping is a sport for me and my partner.

It still blows my mind how a metal needle dancing round a groove in a piece of black plastic turns into music. I love my old juke box! 😂
