I just got their first album’s 20th anniversary album like a month ago! I sigh as unsheath my wallet.

did you end up getting this? I absolutely cannot justify $64 USD for a double LP with $37 USD shipping but I feel like I will still be envious

Yeah I did. US shipping was only $10.95, so I paid $50.95. It’s saying no tax in the email, but that can’t be right. I think closer to $54 USD.

ohhhh it's showing the prices in AUD not USD. I guess that takes it into more reasonable territory but I think I might still have to give it a miss. I really like the idea of the etched track titles in the runout

I figured it is a double album, so it’s like $20 a platter, and shipping is just expected. That, and this is the album I first found them, and have been buying their CDs ever since.

At this rate I’m going to be rebuying their whole catalog in vinyl, minus Chuckles.

Funny, as i watched this I determined that I was roughly 75/25 music lover/vinyl collector. About a minute after I did so, the guy says that he's 75/25 too. I definitely feel like in the 2000s I was more music than collector. I'm already prone to obsessively collecting poo poo so the even though that aspect of it has increased in recent years I've consciously tamped it down.

Any idea what this record is?

Searching for the title on discogs didn't get me anything. Its from my mothers section of my multisource vinyl collection so its like 70's/80's. I'm not sure what copying records was like then so I'm not sure if its an actual release or something else more bespoke.

It feels very metallic in lieu of the softer vinyl that I'm used to so I'm afraid to actually try and play it to search for lyrics out of fear of messing up my stylus.

It could alternatively be from my father's parents collection which would put it somewhere in the first half of the 20th century. (My father traded his sizeable record collection for a Harley.)

It's probably a shellac 78 (it does in fact say "recorded at 78 RPM" which doesn't necessarily mean it's shellac but the way you've described it makes it sound that way) so good call on not playing it because those will gently caress up a microgroove stylus. The label there looks like the sort you'd see on a test pressing but I have no idea if shellac records had test pressings.

edit: My other suspicion was that it's an acetate which appears to be the case.

https://obsoletemedia.org/acetate/

https://obsoletemedia.org/audiodisc/

So basically what you have there isn't anything that was commercially release in some form and is probably an amateur recording.

There were places in music towns like NYC, Nashville, LA where you could kinda walk in off the street and cut an acetate back in the day. Bob Dylan talked about that in his autobiography I think.

A bunch of the master tapes from his stuff were destroyed in a fire a few years ago along with decades of other music. I'm not sure what stuff it was but basically I wouldn't hold my breath on anything that isn't already on vinyl. I've been hoping for a Midnite Vultures (It only got a relatively small one off pressing in the 90s) reissue for years but I'm thinking if it was going to happen it would have already happened.

Oh hey, I recognize that record label! From this very thread a few years ago:

Ballz posted:

Something different for today...



I found this record in a thrift shop for 10 cents. It's from 1953-54 and is actually a teenager's school assignments for a speech class at Ithica College.

Several brief recordings were pressed on this disc (the first three at 78 rpm and the final two at 33 rpm) and cover her work across the school year. Most of the assignments are kind of bleh... giving a summary about muscular dystrophy, reciting a poem, telling a really drawn out joke... but the final recording is something she wrote, describing a field trip she and her classmates took to an industrial factory and later going to a Yankees baseball game, where she saw Mickey Mantle hit a home run.

It's kind of surreal hearing this sudden slice of history come alive for a brief moment. For Joan it was just a class project that she slipped away into a Nat King Cole album sleeve and eventually forgot its existence. But for me it's like there's something more, something significant in this seemingly insignificant piece of vinyl.

I now invite you to take a peek into the world of Joan Santelli.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pNze-lg4uoY




Going back to your specific record, if it is indeed an acetate disc you can play it on a normal record player, but the record itself will wear out much more quickly than a conventional vinyl record... so you may want to rip the audio digitally from it so you don't have to play it back regularly.

Like wa27 said, the title is probably "Laughing to Keep from Crying" which is a common enough expression that it could be pretty much anything. For me it immediately made me think of the recently rediscovered Nat Turner Rebellion album but that's probably a coincidence (although if you happen to live near Philadelphia... maybe not)


Edit: Since your label is identical to mine, I'd place the age of it being made in the late 1940s or 1950s.

I'll give it a try and see what its got on it. The coating is starting to come off so only the inner third is actually going to be playable after I clean it up but, its neat to imagine what might be on it.

Whoa that’d be crazy if… naw, I still think it’s 1950s vintage. Nat Turner Rebellion would be late 60s at the earliest and even if this was some home demo Joe Jefferson did as a teenager I still think the record is too old. Gotta admit I’m pretty intrigued to find out what’s on it, although I’m sure we’re setting ourselves up for disappointment!

Also FYI the record might be 78 rpm. My Joan Santelli record ended up being a mixture of both 78 and 33 rpm.

I'm reminded of the old PBS show History Detectives in which there was an episode where a dude had an aluminium record that was a recording direct from radio of most of an Amos n Andy show, possibly one that they only previously had the script to. And yes it was also from the 40s iirc.

Edit: Might have been even earlier now that I think about it, the 1920s even.

One of my favorite albums in the last couple years just became available on vinyl for the first time ever

https://twitter.com/youngpirelli/status/1579536084392116224?s=20&t=NzixgoZD--8bKS2UoHxQyw

The first tweet is him saying "It should ship in a couple months if they get enough preorders". Is that standard operating procedure for these small print runs? It seems strange to throw money at something like this with the hopes that maybe it will get made (this is why I dont back kickstarters I guess), or is it me whos out of touch and not the kids?

Do you find something comical about my appearance when I'm driving my automobile?
I would assume you would get your money back in this case. But it's like a lot of things - until you print x copies, it's not economical to do, so if you get enough preorders then you'll know you'll make money.

This is Beach Boys influenced enough that I'm nearly convinced it was somebody associated with them's side project that never went anywhere and was never intended to go anywhere, much like the one T. Rex song recorded as Dib Cochran and the Earwigs. The only contemporary reference I can find is a May 1966 Cash Box blurb where the band labels it "baroque pop." It's a very different feel than Stand Back and Look at Yourself, which sounds as generic as possible.

I can find zero contemporary newspaper references to the Mudd Family being a singing group, just the Cash Box mention, and it doesn't mention anyone by name.
