Show us your Records in the worst condition......!

Post by transformingArt »

This is slightly O/T and the point is somewhat silly, but can anyone of you show us one of your Record in the worst condition (not broken or craked)?

A better question would be what records do you have that are just too rare to throw out, even though they are worn beyond keeping. I have several records that I keep until I find better copies. All other "worn out" records that I bring home go directly to the trash.

I posted this on the old board. This is an example of what can happen to a Diamond Disc after 20 years in an unheated garage (not by me). It had some bad grooves anyway...

Probably in 1 or 2 thousand years something like this badly damaged "Nazareth" and "Silent Night" will be acclaimed as a great find, sort of like the dead sea scrolls, just a few pieces of parchment, and they will have the technology to really perfectly reproduce it....
