Peanuts Begins by Charles Schulz for July 22, 2022

that’s going to cost a hard fine when returning that vinyl

Back in the mid 60s my parents asked my brother to destroy an LP of which they disapproved. (Don’t ask me why they couldn’t just throw it in the trash, arbitrary was their thing.) In the process he discovered that under the black stuff was a shiny metal disc the size of the LP. Fast forward to about 1981, on an icy winter morning I saw an LP go sailing out of a college dorm window. It hit the pavement and shattered into smithereens.

CB, it’s your own fault for playing with it like it was a frisbee.

Yes, I wonder Charlie Brown!

Great Action packed Artwork here!

I think I know why they sound scratchy,

Goodness, this one always causes me intense pain. I don’t even like seeing people touching the vinyl! Transport it in its cover; touch it by the edges!

If that record is “Puberty Love”, it has always sounded like that.

Today, it’s DVDs and Blu-rays from the library. People don’t seem to take care of things if they don’t have to pay to use them.

As a kid back in the 50s, I’d take my mom’s old 78 records that she had saved from when she worked at a radio station, and throw them like a frisbee. Wish I had them now! (She worked at WOPI in Bristol, Tenn./Va.)

Ah, I recall this from my fabled youth.

Just put a penny or two on the tonearm!!

I ’member these. hauled my collection around in two large bins for many years. then I reduced it to a couple of small boxes and now to a tiny itty bitty little stick in your pocket piece of plastic and metal.I always hated the vinyl that got scratched and either repeated over and over again until you could “bump” the needle or would make it skip further ahead in the song.

Even without Snoopy and the struggle, it would have sounded scratchy even if the library had just gotten it in brand new and he was the very first to check it out. And if I had done something like that, my mom would have skinned me alive right before she killed me.
