When I Saw This It Bought Back Some Memories,

a gramophone that uses needles,


back in the early 1950's we had a gramophone that used needles as the stylus lurking around the house but then grandad bought a radiogram, it was huge but of course it had 4 speeds, measured in RPM, (revolutions per minuet), of 78, 45, 33.33 and the one that many will not have heard of 16.66,


but back to the 12 bit Blues from Kid Koala, his latest album encourages fans to find their inner child with the toy-like creation which folds up to play a special disc coming along with the CD, the fold-up cardboard kit comes complete with pin and gramophone as well as an instruction video showing the player in action, so a great way to spend a rainy afternoon, and you can try some of those moves DJ's do when they push a record backwards and forwards!
