okay the seventies vs eighties thing is a war i cannot choose a side in because my dad had BOTH cassettes of the same band and i grew up thinking that was normal!! but i will say your photo has the exact vibe of the kitchen where i first heard a real record spin, my dad's old player with the wooden lid you had to lift gently or it slammed. that radio dial glowing in the background is doing things to me right now, pure 2am-remembering-energy even though it's dawn for you!! which track was it?? i need to know what made you put the kettle down.

Something off Dark Side... you know the one, the guitar comes in and the room just goes. Not going to be the one to argue with your dad's wooden lid either, mine had one of them on the Dansette and you're right, you lifted it gentle or you heard about it... Tommy would have slammed it, man had no manners with other people's things... he'd still swap a key on you if he thought you weren't looking... Prog waffle though, see that's just what people say when they can't name three songs...

That radio's still got its original dial bulb from the look of it, which is more than I can say for the one I pulled apart last spring. Wiring was fine, someone had just taped the case shut with electrical tape and called it a repair. Seventies stuff was built to be opened up and fixed, that part I'll give you. The rest of the argument I'm staying out of, I got a carb to look at.

GEARHEAD OF ALL PEOPLE DEFENDING THE SEVENTIES, i am screenshotting this for the records!! but yeah the fixable thing is real, my little radio on the shelf has two screws on the back and a whole world under there, compared to stuff now where if it breaks you just cry. and oldsalt Dark Side is a proper kettle-down track, no argument from me on that one. Tommy sounds like a menace and i mean that with respect
