Broken Records

[paradroid1793]

In alignment with the post "Phonograph Items we have broken", I was going through my collection skimming out records I have not listened to in a long time or do not enjoy.

Halfway through the stack I was reminded of my copy of Ostrich Walk / At the Jazz Band Ball from the ODJB, a personal favourite! Unfortunately, I got it in my first month of collecting, and did not know how fragile 78's were, and when I dropped the record it left a nice chip on both sides. Still plays, just missing about 5-10~ seconds.

I've also broken a 7" Columbia through carelessness, and my father broke an Edison blank by clamping it with pliers.

What about you?
