About the Item

We grew up surrounding by my Dadâ€™s stereo with Momâ€™s old 45â€™s. Many afternoons after school were spent divvying up her collection of 45â€™s between my brother and I while swapping them on the platter. They had endless scratches that looked like someone had taken a Brillo pad to them. Back in her day, she later told us, she would steal some of her momâ€™s cigarettes and sneak down to the basement with her best friend listening to the sounds of Mickey and Sylvia, The Coasters, and The Platter. We spun these a bit until one dayâ€¦ The Human Leaguesâ€™ â€œKeep Feeling (Fascination)â€ entered our household by way of my older brother. Every afternoon we would spin that 45. I am talking HEAVY rotation. I can still hear those sweet vocal harmonies and buzzing guitars. Oh that scratchy warm sound. Like a cup of hot chocolate with a shot of vodka on a cool night. Drop that arm and you could hear the faint music playing through the needle itself until you pumped up the volume through the tower speakers with a sonic boom!
