Why just stop at 12"? Given the right tooling and equipment,a person could create a homemade record three feet across, or whatever desired size. Along with a contraption to play it on.

I was going to keep this segment to an hour, but I'm having a lot of fun, so I'm going to play more 12"s till the end. Fair warning!

@tadpoles, yes but they had a posh bird 'singing'. They could have done the Doors songbook.

The only thing more strange and wonderful than this song is that it managed to be a hit in two different decades!

@Ken: Have you seen the 36" records that were made as soundtracks to play w/ some films in the 40s/50s.

Larry7 and Leyland Kirby have some (the only ones I have seen).

This 12" set is another example of WFMU curation to get you to listen to something you'd (a/k/a I'd) never listen to.
This set is also strangely relaxing. It's like comfort food.

I love the title "Dealin' with the Boogie." It makes it sound like the boogie is a problem you might as well take care of before it gets worse.
