Man! A chocolate pork chop sure would go good with some Ovaltine about now!
Here we have the sonic equivalent of a Tijuana Bible; and don't EVEN pretend you haven't seen one of those.
Music - listen young 'uns - used to be issued on ten-inch records, so that's the entendre part of this double entendre. After that, technology brought us the twelve-inch LP which some of us remember, if not from the record store then from the thrift store. And what has the Endless March of Technology brought us lately?
The four-and-a-half inch CD. Score one for the old days.
So here's a little treasury of under-the-counter discs dating back to the '30s. The next time someone asks to play with your poodle ask them what they mean - but if a blind man asks you "What's That Smells Like Fish?"..........just pick up your poodle and go home.
