1952.

I have no idea why but for the past seven days I have limited myself to four issues of Sight and Sound from 1952 as the source of my posts. That’s behind us now. Beginning tomorrow, it’s back to regular scheduled programming.

the stickers on records

Posted on January 19, 2010 | 2 comments

I can’t come up with anything better to call this one, but here’s a new feature on the stickers that were stuck on records. It’s pretty ephemeral and perhaps worth exploring I guess.

First up is the sticker that was stuck on first pressings of Thriller. 1982.
