Comments and Reviews

Pridesale 3rd Jun 2020		hmm speed range 77 thru 79 rpm wonder what happens at 80rpm
Bamboo 2nd Jun 2020		Thanks xiphophilos. The first two or three tracks were okay as I couldn't hear them, possibly because the neighbour's dog started howling ...............
xiphophilos 2nd Jun 2020		Thanks for the entertaining review! Your description reminds me of the Maxwell VCR cleaning cassette I used to have, except the sounds on this frequency test record seem to be a bit more extreme.
Bamboo 1st Jun 2020		Review I seriously wonder if this record could actually damage your hearing. Even using a 1930's gramophone with Bamboo needles. What does this sound like? Well, If you can imagine an episode of 'The Man From Uncle' where a person is tortured in an enclosed room using piercing, high pitched sound waves, then you are halfway there. If you can also imagine the sound of a ww2 aerial bomb being dropped onto your house from an inordinate height, picking up speed all of the time, creating an ever increasing shrill, constant 'whistling sound' as it nears - then you have it. I would say more, but I seem to be developing a bad headache and feeling dis-orientated. Side 'B' remains unplayed. 9 people found this review helpful.   ✔︎ Helpful Review?
