Read The Label

WTF?, , ,

I found this at SteveCarter.com, and while the first-glance impression of this Wayne Newton LP cover is funny enough all by itself, reading the label of the LP makes the image even more priceless:

If the writing on the LP is too small for you even with your bifocals on, (and it IS too small, for sure) you will be amused/revolted to know that the LP title is “Bowel And Bladder Training”. I really, really, REALLY don’t want to know, but feel compelled to own this just the same.

And if you REALLY NEED a vinyl record to tell you about bowel and bladder training (whatever that is) I weep for you. Truly.

So I now consider such claims to be a challenge–I’m on a hunt to find the very smallest vinyl record player known to man. Is this it? I somehow doubt it, but let’s call it a contender:

Hitting the Road For Atlanta

Events,

Turntabling is on the road starting today, Tuesday March 6, 2012. We’re bound for Days of the Dead and will be selling vinyl and CDs there all weekend long. Lots of rare, obscure, hard-to-find soundtracks, 80s goth/industrial/unclassifiable, and much more.

As always, to see the latest from our road trip and from the the Days of the Dead show, join Turntabling on Facebook as there are quite a lot of pics and posts that always happen when we’re in road warrior mode.

See you at the show!
