>>> TAKE
>>> TAKE US HOME ON THIS MONDAY, FLEETWOOD MAC.
WE ARE JAMMING OLD SCHOOL STYLE
WITH "THINGS TO CARA" ABOUT.
I KEEP ASKING HER HOW DID I GET
INTO RECORDS?
INTO RECORDS? WELL, MY DAD WAS INTO THEM.
IT'S SO SWEET TO ME BECAUSE MY
HUSBAND RECENTLY GOT INTO THEM
AND HE --
AND HE --
AND HE -- >> CRISP SOUND.
>> AND HE LOVES TO SHARE THEM
WITH OUR BOYS.
>> HE DOES?
>> YES.
>> YES.
>> YES. >> I GREW UP JUST FLIPPING
THROUGH MY BROTHER'S COLLECTION
AND WHEN HE WASN'T HOME GOING
IN AND THEN SIT THERE ON HIS
BED LISTENING.
BED LISTENING. HE WOULD BE LIKE, WHAT ARE YOU
DOING IN MY ROOM?
A TYPICAL BIG BROTHER BUT HE
HAD THE PLETHORA OF EVERY GENRE
OF MUSIC.
OF MUSIC.
OF MUSIC. >> HE DID?
>> YES.
>> YES.
>> YES. >> HE HAS RUMORS, JANET
JACKSON, CONTROL.
JACKSON, CONTROL. >> CONTROL.
>> CONTROL. >> YES.
>> YES.
>> YES. EXCUSE ME.
EXCUSE ME. IZEA KAY SLACK MOSES, THRILLER
WHICH IS ALSO ONE OF THE MOST
BOUGHT OF ALL TIME.
SERGEANT PEPPERS.
SERGEANT PEPPERS. RICK JAMES.
RICK JAMES. >> OH, MY GOSH.
YES, RICK.
YES, RICK. GIVE IS TO ME.
>> YES.
>> YES.
>> YES. >> THERE'S MORE WHERE THAT CAME
FROM IF YOU WANT TO COME OVER
AND LISTEN TO MUSIC.
>> CARA, CAN YOU PUT IT ON AS
WE GO TO BREAK.
>> YES.
>> YES.
>> YES. >> THIS TAKES ME BACK.
>> IT DOES, DOESN'T IT?
>> YES.
>> YES.
>> YES. >> I DIDN'T KNOW THERE WAS A
DAY DEDICATED TO IT BUT THAT
THERE'S A CALENDAR ON THE
INTERNET THAT DEDICATES DAYS
AND WE WILL FIND SOMETHING TO
MATCH OUR PERMANENT.
THERE MIGHT BE FACTS THAT YOU
DON'T KNOW ABOUT RECORDS AND
WANTED TO SHARE THEM WITH YOU.
DID YOU KNOW THERE IS A RECORD
IN OUTER SPACE THAT NASA SENT
TO COMMUNICATE WITH ALIENS?
>> WHAT?
>> WHAT?
>> WHAT? >> YEAH.
>> YEAH.
>> YEAH. NOW, I DON'T WANT TO BE
POLITICALLY INCORRECT.
POLITICALLY INCORRECT. EXTRATERRESTRIAL BUT THE
SPACECRAFT WAS LAUNCHED -- THE
TWIN VOYAGER ONE AND TWO
SPACECRAFT WERE LAUNCHED 1977
AND STILL OUT THERE TODAY.
BOTH HAVE TRAVELED WELL PAST
PLUTO SOME 12 BILLION MILES
AWAY.
AWAY.
AWAY. BEFORE THE LAUNCH A GOLDEN
RECORD WAS PLACED ON EACH
SPACECRAFT FEATURING MUSIC
SELECTIONS FROM DIFFERENT
CULTURES AND ERAS, SPOKEN
GREETINGS AND 55 LANGUAGES AND
OTHER MESSAGES.
OTHER MESSAGES. EACH RECORD IS ENCASED IN A
PROTECTIVE ALUMINUM JACKET
TOGETHER WITH A CARTRIDGE AND A
NEEDLE.
NEEDLE.
NEEDLE. INSTRUCTIONS AND SYMBOLIC
LANGUAGE IN CASE THE ALIENS
FIND THEM AND THEY NEED TO KNOW
HOW TO WORK THE RECORD THAT
EXPLAINS THE ORIGIN OF THE
SPACECRAFT AND HOW THE RECORD
IS TO BE PLAYED.
CHUCK BERRY, JOHNNY BE GOOD IS
FEATURED AS ONE OF THE SONGS.
>> OKAY.
>> OKAY.
>> OKAY. THAT'S INCREDIBLE.
THAT'S INCREDIBLE. >> WHO KNEW.
>> WHO KNEW.
THEY WERE LIKE, WE ARE NOT ONLY
GOING TO TALK TO THEM, WE ARE
GOING TO BRING ANY SORT OF GAP
WITH THE MUSIC.
>> RIGHT.
>> RIGHT.
>> RIGHT. >> THE MUSIC OF OUR TIMES.
I LOVE THAT.
>> I LIKE IT TOO.
THEY ARE UP THERE HAVING A FUN
DANCE PARTY.
DANCE PARTY. >> YES.
>> YES.
>> YES. >> DO YOU KNOW WHAT THE WORLD'S
FIRST LP WAS?
>> I DO NOT.
>> IT WAS BEETHOVEN'S FIFTH
SYMPHONY.
SYMPHONY.
SYMPHONY. IT WAS PERFORMED BY THE
PHILADELPHIA SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA
AND IT WAS RECORDED IN 1931 BY
RCA VICTOR.
RCA VICTOR. AT THAT TIME THE "NEW YORK
TIMES" WROTE WHAT WE WERE NOT
PREPARED FOR WAS THE QUALITY OF
PRODUCTION AND AT THAT TIME IT
WAS BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY WE ONLY
HAD THE RECORDS.
>> THAT'S RIGHT.
>> THIS DIGITAL NONSENSE.
>> JUST THAT CLARITY.
BELIEVE ME, I REMEMBER.
IT STILL SOUNDS GREAT.
>> IT DOES SOUND GOOD.
>> I THINK SO.
THIS IS INTERESTING TOO.
SO THIS -- WE ACTUALLY TESTED
THIS LAST NIGHT, MY HUSBAND AND
I. BUT SONGS SOUND DIFFERENT
DEPENDING ON WHERE THEY ARE
PLACED ON THE RECORD.
THOSE CLOSER TO THE LABEL AND
SPINDLE HOLE ON A RECORD CAN
SOUND AUDIBLY DIFFERENT THAN
THOSE ON THE OUTER EDGES DUE TO
WHAT IS KNOWN AS AN INNER
GROOVE DISTORTION.
GROOVE DISTORTION. WHEN YOU'RE PRODUCING A RECORD
IT'S RECOMMENDED TO KEEP LOUDER
BASE HEAVY TRACKS AT THE FRONT
AND THE SOFTER TRACKS AT THE
END.
END.
END. IF
END. IF YOU LOOK AT THE OLDER
RECORDS YOU WILL SEE PEOPLE
ENGINEERED THEIR RECORDS AND
THE SONG CHOICES THAT WAY.
BECAUSE OF IT?
>> YES.
>> YES.
>> YES. >> FASCINATING.
>> FASCINATING. >> IT REALLY IS.
AND ALSO LIKE THERE ARE RECORDS
THAT ARE FULL OF COLOR, LIKE
YOU WILL SEE THE COLOR WHERE
THIS BLACK PART IS AND THAT WAS
ACTUALLY KIND OF MUFFLING THE
SOUND AND SO NOW THERE'S
DIFFERENT TECHNOLOGY WHERE
THERE ARE COMPLETELY COLORED
RECORDS BUT IT'S INTERESTING
ALSO TO SEE THE DIFFERENCES OF
THOSE BACK IN THAT DAY TOO.
>> I LOVE THAT.
>> YEAH.
>> YEAH.
>> YEAH. THIS IS INTERESTING TOO,
DESPITE THE OLD FEEL OF -- OLD
SCHOOL FEEL OF A RECORD, VINYL
ALBUM SALES HAVE RISEN FOR THE
PAST 13 CONSECUTIVE YEARS.
MY HUSBAND IS LIKE, I TOLD YOU.
I'M LIKE, WHO BUYS RECORDS

ALBUMS SO --
>> I THINK IT'S REALLY COOL AS
LONG AS YOU ACTUALLY ENJOY IT
AND USE IT.
>> YES.
>> YES.
>> YES. >> YOU DON'T JUST WANT TO GET
THE RECORD AND THE ALBUM AND
LET THEM SIT AROUND.

VINYL ALBUM AMONG THE BUYERS

IT MAKES SENSE.
THE DIEHARDS WANT TO ENJOY ALL
THOSE LITTLE ROCK 'N ROLL
ALBUMS.
