TheGhostOfRandySavage Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 That's pretty sweet, and the B-side is gorgeous. I don't know anything about it though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGhostOfRandySavage Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 Yeah...it's rad and all, but I would definitely sell that if it were mine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
overdue Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 Plus, it's made of shellac. I'd take extra care with it, that material can get brittle and shatter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

souljacker8888 Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 i'd hang on to it, for coolness factor alone. if you think you might end up selling, it, notice the price decline by date on there... seems the two that really wanted it, got theirs, and the bidding pool weakened dramatically after that...

The Vool Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 Sell it, unless you listen to war sounds on a regular basis... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crossy71 Posted December 10, 2014 Author Share Posted December 10, 2014 i think ill try selling it then, the record player im after is about £200 so it wold certainly help, or let me get a better one. The Audio Technica AT-LP120 looks like a good player for that price range Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LPancakes Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 thats cool, where did you find it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omik11303 Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 That thing is baller as hell. Agreed. Beyond cool. You couldn't pry that thing out of my hands if I owned it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McCandless Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 I'd hold onto it until I really needed the extra money. Stuff like this is cool, unless you're desperate for a few extra dollars I'd keep it for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crossy71 Posted December 12, 2014 Author Share Posted December 12, 2014 I had it given to me a long with a fair few other old records as a thank you for some charity work i did a few years back. As for selling it, i would want it picking up as i would be terrified of it breaking in shipping (i have bad luck with the post office). I just bought a Audio Techinca LP120 so the sale of the record would help buy some nice speakers or a good pair of headphones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nickxmurphy Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 I didn't know historical recordings of lesser significant were pressed. I've heard of WWII Nazi youth rants/dialogues being pressed, but not battle atmospherics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
overdue Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 I think it would be hard to argue that World War One was insignificant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGhostOfRandySavage Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 I think it would be hard to argue that World War One was insignificant. I don't think he was referring to the war itself, more the fact that any specific gas shell bombing was significant enough to record to a record. That said, back when it was recorded, that was how it was done, so it wouldn't have had to be all that significant to be made into a record. edit: record record record.

overdue Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 Sure. It was for a war bond effort, so I'm assuming any shelling would've done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
