daslied Posted September 26, 2005 Report Share Posted September 26, 2005 I sort of forgot as well. What do these three have in common? Elton John Alice Cooper Johnny Cash It has nothing to do with actual music, and Marty Feldman has the same thing in common. They're not songs from "Yellowbeard". Someday you'll find it. The connection. Let's try not to get too grouchy; I don't want to get chopped in the face or anything. Sometimes I really wish I had a wok. Ah.

bazooka Posted September 28, 2005 Report Share Posted September 28, 2005 I really didnt know at first, so I cheated...LOL...and that's what came up when I googled Why should using any tool available to search for information be considered "cheating" ? We couldn't advance very far if we had to depend on only what we can memorize. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bazooka Posted October 2, 2005 Report Share Posted October 2, 2005 These four records are by different artists under different labels, but what do they have in common ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earth-Angel Posted October 2, 2005 Report Share Posted October 2, 2005 (edited) They're all 45 RPM? I know zip about records except I had them when I was really small. How would you play the second one (Cilla Black)? Or is that just the label sans the record, or just a real close up of a very small label?

edna Posted October 2, 2005 Report Share Posted October 2, 2005 (edited) Lennon-McCartney The singles in Europe had a big hole instead of the small one that had Lps or cds. You had to put a little plastic piece into the big hole and insert it in the stick in the middle of the turntable. Wow, am I that old? It´s these yellow things, seems they call it 45RPM inserts or spindle adaptators. You had all kind of models and it was the most common thing in every house in the sixties.

bazooka Posted October 2, 2005 Report Share Posted October 2, 2005 (edited) How would you play the second one ? Here's how A supply of these (or a special spindle convertor) was essential to play your 'singles' on a standard old-school record player. But 45 RPM is not the link I'm after.

edna Posted October 2, 2005 Report Share Posted October 2, 2005 It´s Lennon-McCartney... I guess my answer was hidden behind the... adaptators? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bazooka Posted October 2, 2005 Report Share Posted October 2, 2005 Lennon-McCartney I almost missed that, edna! Yes, the link is that songs on these 45s are all Lennon-McCartney compositions (not used by The Beatles). I painted over that credit on the label images. You can see that a couple of them were produced by George Martin, as well. Your turn! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
