Peanut Gallery Commentary on the Staff Log of Bannings and such like.

Previous technology was the 4-track, and before that, an LP record player that had the records placed in it upside down, with a spring loaded arm to keep the needle against the record. One could listen to records in the car while driving. We're talking '60s tech, here. I have an uncle who put a transistor radio on the dash of his car to avoid paying "big money" for an in-dash radio.

Do you guys want those damned kids off your lawn?

Well I sure do.   Or I would if I still had one.

I remember 33's and 45's.  First records I ever bought were two 45's, one by the Stones and one by the Boxtops.  We had little plastic inserts to put in them because the center holes were bigger for 45's than 33's and the center spindle on the players were made for 33's.  Talk about hodgepodge technology.

They were before my time, but sometimes I feel like a 78, but played much slower.
