My Year of the Book - Day 111: In honor of #recordstoreday2018 today, let’s dig out a few examples of why long-playing record collections became known as “albums,” just in case you don’t already know. The first recorded discs (from about 1910 on) played at 78 rpm, which meant that a full-sized record could only hold about three minutes of content. In the 1930s, record companies began to sell collections of these records by the same artist in books similar to photo albums, with multiple paper sleeves to hold the records, and the name stuck. Some, especially those for children, even had a 12- or 24-page book bound in. Here are a few examples from my record library, including a Louis Prima collection from Majestic Records (3 discs), the soundtrack “album” from the Broadway musical “High Button Shoes” starring Phil Silvers (4 discs), and a “Little Nipper” story book album from RCA Records featuring a couple “Winnie the Pooh” tales excerpted from the A.A. Milne books (with the original, pre-Disney art), both “told by” a young Jimmy Stewart. This album is especially cool because it is two-sided...when you finish reading with one story, you simply flipped the album and the attached storybook over and let Jimmy tell you the next one. Ah, the beauty of cutting-edge technology. #recordstore #78rpm #jimmystewart #disney #winniethepooh #aamilne #oldrecords #recordalbums #book #bookish #booknerd #bookgeek #bookstagram #yearofthebook #childrensbooks #1930s #oldbooks #booklover #mycollection #louisprima #philsilvers #broadway #soundtrack #rsd

Bruce Springsteen - Greatest Hits (RSD2018). ....What can I say? This is why I love RSD even though there are lots of negative issues with it. I’m not a one day shopper and I try to support the local stores when ever I can. So for a consistent record buyer like me some of the RSD releases is like an oasis that quenches my insatiable thirst. This record’s been high on my wishlist for a very long time. And thanks to this years’ RSD I can happily cross out two records on that long wishlist. The record is beautiful and sounds great! But most of all it’s the collection of these wonderful timeless songs that every Boss fan will know by heart. #brucespringsteen #boss #rsd18 #recordstoreday2018 #rsd2018

So Record Store Day 208 came and went pretty painlessly. Usually I get up at 4:30 so I can be eighth on line outside in the cold, waiting for one of the local shops to open at 9:30. This year, I had a hernia operation recently and I’m still recovering, so that just wasn’t in the cards. I opted to try my luck at Newbury Comics at the local mall, and got there 15 minutes before they opened at 8am—and it was a breeze. Got almost everything I wanted and the elusive missing LP—Recutting The Crap II—will doubtlessly be kicking around stores for weeks, if Recutting the Crap I was anything to go by. So all in all, not a bad way to start the day.

I ordered this back in March... finally got here! One guess what is going on the record player for today! #vinylcollection #omegaman #charltonheston #recordstoreday2018 https://www.instagram.com/p/CBQ2IUghWJP/?igshid=yaiq7ohra0q5
