The Flip Side

 

We put together The Mister's new turntable the other day and I got out a record to try it out.



I wanted to hear a favorite song off this old Christmas album the kids and I loved back in the day. For the life of me I couldn't find the track I wanted. I looked and sampled and read the liner notes and...no luck. Then The Mister came over and asked me if I had tried the other side. "The other side????" I asked, very confused. 
I had completely forgotten that vinyl has TWO sides. 
True story.

  1. Ha! Ha! It's been awhile hasn't it? We had some great albums early in our marriage and I basically gave them all away. They were in mint condition and probably worth something now. Oh well. Enjoy your vinyl! Both sides.
    Blessings and hugs,

  2. As someone who grew up with vinyl, I was confused that there was no other side the first time I played a CD. The Muppets were a good choice!

  4. That's a good story--I haven't played (or heard) a vinyl in decades!

  5. One Christmas my mother asked for a Christmas album. I believe she was envisioning traditional Christmas carols. My father who was tone deaf bought this exact same album for her. We have spent many Christmas chuckling over his selection.

  8. Dave has a very extensive vinyl collection and I won't be surprised if that record was in it!
