Record Collection Porn

Celebrating the beauty of physical recorded music. Not necessarily rare, not necessarily collectable, not necessarily records - CDs count too - just anything that looks interesting in some way. These are mostly from my own collection at the moment but contributions are gratefully accepted.

ashes… ashes… ashes of dead songs

Gramofon, 1981 by Wojciech Bruszewski

Following up on a previous post about a record player with four needle arms, here is another earlier example by Polish New Media artist  Wojciech Bruszewski. There isn’t much to say about this in English, all that is said is:

Record Player with four arms. The best results: Pablo Casals - plays the cello in a ‘quartet’.

You can see a short Quicktime video of the work here

Many thanks to Michał Brzeziński for the heads up

This was the initial (later withdrawn) Australian version of Morrissey's debut solo album, Viva Hate.

Morrissey's tradition of putting messages in the run-out grooves of records - in this case, "education in reverse," led to a misunderstanding and the local company thinking this was the album title.
