I'm not sure at what age you qualify for Geezer Status, but if I don't qualify then this thread is sure going to drop in qualified numbers.

There is no AGE requirement. There is , however an ATTITUDE requirement. If you have a geezer's attitude, then you qualify. Simple as that. And a shot gun and a desire to chase punks off your lawn.

Obviously you want "the wiper-snapper thread". But you show a great deal of senility. I guess that counts for something.

Funny thing is not many people actually used this to play a 45 rpm on a 33 phonograph. They usually used the cylindrical device that came with it. I've still got some (in my 45's). Haven't played them since 1978.

My sister had a shoebox full of these. Usually bright yellow plastic I think. My 28-YO stepdaughter had no clue. I realized you had to be a certain age to know what a "45" was as well.

I have both kinds. Technically I have all three. But you are way too young to know about Mr. "Long Colt" of 1950's TV show fame.

Ask the hipsters, without context, what a "B-side" was. Crickets.

As I still consider myself a "youngster", I can't in good conscience answer you what a "B-side" is.

It's the opposite of the A-side.

A 45 RPM record had one song on each of two sides. A-side, B-side. The A-side was the "hit", or what the record company hoped would be the hit. The B-side was filler. But music history is replete with B-sides that became hits, even huge ones.

Sorry if I didn't manage to get through - being 52 yo with a couple of LP players behind me, I know perfectly well what the A- & B-side was, but I don't want to admit that

Anyway, kudos to you for the flawless explanation though

How could you know what the B-side is, Per? Did ABBA *ever* produce anything that wasn't huge hit potential?

Here in Australia we grew up with 45's with normal sized holes so we didn't need 'em.

The fly in the ointment was when the occasional American disc* slipped through and it was a fun job trying to position it exactly on the centre* of the platter...

So that bizarre, warbling noise coming from that "Men at Work" album wasn't a function of malpositioning on the turntable?
