Remember 45rpm records?

45. Me too

.

and if they skipped too bad, we'd put a penny, nickle, or quarter on the end of the arm above the needle!

It worked.

The first record I ever owned, bought by me by choice,

was a 33LP(long play) called "Mozart in Prague" if I remember correctly.

That was back in the early 60's

- you could pick a record in the store you thought you liked,

take it into a sound booth and listen to it before you bought it - -

yeah - long time ago . . . .

and the 45's ?

when they got too scratchy to listen too - we took them outside and flung them through the air like frisbees - -

hmm, thought occurred to me . .

maybe the 45 was a precursor to the invention of the Frisbee?

nope

it was long before that
