chunkrock Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 How do these work anyway? I've never owned one. Do you play them in reverse? Are the groves on the album just made a special way? IU read on here that the first dillinger album plays inside out and outside in, how does that work? I assume this is a relatively new process, my dad doesn't beleive me that it's true so I'm trying to find stuff out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamlikesmusic Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 I own a Less Than Jake 7" that supposedly plays like that, but I've never actually listened to it. On a normal record, from the inside of the record, the grooves head outwards going clockwise. So I would assume that if the record is made to play backwards, and seeing as how turntables can't spin both ways (at least mine doesn't), the grooves would head outwards going counter-clockwise. I am not sure if that makes sense, but it did to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 i have a few records like this. you just put the needle down starting in the middle of the record and it plays out towards the edge. but you have to keep an eye out, because if it doesn't have a locked groove your needle with literally fall off the record at the end. but its not that new of a thing. the first time i ever saw one was the LTJ 7", and that was '96, but i'm sure they'd been doing for a long time before that.

xunspokenliesx Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 The Dillenger Escape Plan 7" is like this...just as Mike said, just start the needle at the inside... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhulud Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 Zombie Apocalypse "This Is A Spark Of Life" 7" plays inside out...it was weird the first time I played it as I had never seen something like this... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bicyclepirate Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 Automatic players should play them just fine, you just have to use the manual lever to set the needle. I used to have this Orchid/Jerome's Dream split that was like this, and I never wanted to listen to it. It was annoying trying to the get the needle just right to not clip the first couple seconds of the the songs that played inside out.

xfedaykinx Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 what always annoyed me about that DEP 7" is the side where the two tracks run parallel. its almost impossible to to get it to start on the song you want. its like trial and error.

rrd Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 the converge/hellchild split picture disc is also reverse grooved Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xjustinxschwierx Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 I have a Mushuganas split 7" with the Volatiles where each side has 2 sets of grooves. the 2 separate grooves play different songs...one song is an original and i think both bands do GG Allin covers. The Just A Fire 7" on Asian Man is one song split onto 2 sides and the end of side a is a locked groove so it'll loop the last part until you switch the side where it picks up right there...kinda cool. these are just random things that are possible but no one utilizes them too much, that's all.

mclz Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 Yeah, it's the b-side to the slayer 7" that plays backwards. I think LTJ did that cause supposedly the metal records had subliminal messages when played backwards, so in a sense the song was the message played backwards.

monk0nuggets Posted October 21, 2007 Share Posted October 21, 2007 To be silly. Thats the only reason I can think of. I've never seen one of these in real life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
celebdeath Posted October 21, 2007 Share Posted October 21, 2007 tool's opiate EP plays the 'lotus...' hidden track on the start of side 2. if the needle hits the 'hidden' groove, it plays. trial and error to listen to it though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billynomates Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 I have a SNFU LP where the last track on each side plays from the inside out. The rest of the side is normal though so it's a pain in the arse to listen to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
