I loved listening to Beatles album tracks, picking a couple from one side and then flipping the record and trying to make sure the needle dropped in just the right place on the other side for my next favourite track.

Sometimes the tape would go "worrrw" in between tracks :-D. You’re welcome Paula, thanks for stopping by.

My husband had all the Beatle albums until someone ripped them off. The White Album... hoo-boy, classic. I absolutely waited on the edge of my seat for John Lesson to say, "I got blisters on my fingers!" Thanks for that memory. Oh, yeah, you got it, fruey.
