wow a co-host? 1-800-989-WFMU | |
Mon. 7/4/11 12:44am
(mta) Tony:
Mike, do you have Hawkwind's "Spaced Out in London" CD? | |
Mon. 7/4/11 12:45am
(mta) Tony:
Mike, can you please type the name of the Hawkwind album you're looking for on CD? | |
Mon. 7/4/11 12:47am
yair Yona (Tel Aviv, Earth):
Good morning. Your show is definitely the best present a man can give to himself on this Monday morning | |
Mon. 7/4/11 12:52am
Mike Sin:
Hey everybody thanks for commenting! @Tony The album is "Warrior At the Edge of Time". Don't have "Spaced Out" | |
Mon. 7/4/11 1:04am
(mta) Tony:
Hi Mike, I have Warrior At the Edge of Time on CD. Would you like to have a copy of it? | |
Mon. 7/4/11 1:25am
conor:
Small-hole 7 inch records issued in the US were designed to push down a very thin rigid-rod actuator on jukeboxes spindle to change platter speed from 45 to 33 rpm, to play long-play seven inch records (mini-lps) at correct speed. Not the case in UK 7inchers, and quite a number of domestic releases (US). Some people would drill out their records to play correctly on jukeboxes. Not me... | |
Mon. 7/4/11 1:27am
(mta) Tony:
Query: the station has a library of music larger than your imagination. Still, DJs do bring their own stuff. | |
Mon. 7/4/11 1:31am
conor:
in the video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lwrPyb8xB7k just before around 7 Seconds, the actuator can be seen at around 11 o'clock on the spindle. | |
Mon. 7/4/11 1:40am
yair Yona (Tel Aviv, Earth):
This is such an amazing set guys | |
Mon. 7/4/11 1:54am
(mta) Tony:
Hi Mike, I have Hawkwind's "Warrior At the Edge of Time" on CD. I can't give you my own CD, but I would be happy to send a perfect copy to you including full artwork. Shall I send it to you in care of the station, or would you prefer I send it to some other address? | |
