> [@nitroglycerine](#): > > nitpick: What do you mean? They still make records…die cuts, gatefolds, colored vinyl, oddly shaped 45s, picture discs…hell yeah…vinyls still kickin’! Yes, but in order to play it, you need to locate a man with a hi-fi system up his nose… ---

> [@richardb](#): > > On a different (but related) point of interest, Mad Magazine had one of their record inserts during the 70’s that also had multiple tracks, but the eight different grooves started in the middle of the record! > > It started out somthing like “It’s a great big beautiful wonderful fantastical day. The sun is shining, the birds are singing…” (I’m singing along to myself and the lyrics aren’t right, but you get the idea). Continuing the song: > > “ **Until:** ” and at this point, one of 8 different endings kick in with all the things that went wrong. > > I would amuse myself for hours on end, playing it over and over and over… If you had [Totally Mad](http://www.hopping.com/mad4/product_info/) you could enjoy listening to those all over again. Probably not the same as starting the insert yourself though. ---
