Listened to "Let It Be" album last night. Right now, "Hey Jude."
I have an ancient 45rpm version of "Let It Be" which includes the song "You Know My Name, Look Up The Number" as side B and I have not yet purchased the "Rarities" set.
I want to hear this song, but I do not want to subject my six hundred dollar newly replaced stylus to an old 45 record, just yet.
All I have to hear it is Spotify. It helps, but not enough.
Handle that 45 with care.
I do and I actually have five copies of that record from the sixties. I had realized that the mix or something was different and I wanted to "collect" things that seemed different to me, even as a teen. I have not played any of them since around 1973. That is when I first moved out of my parents house and I "lost" my turntable adapter for 45s during that move.
I only have about three hundred 45s, but I do not think I have bought any during my adult life other than specialized LPs which have been remastered and re-released on heavy vinyl for audiophile interests. The seven inch 45s are all from the sixties and hardly ever played, except for a few, like "Satisfaction," " Magic Carpet Ride," "Born To Be Wild," "Get Back," "Purple Haze" and on and on. The original 45 release of "Revolution" as you know is quite different from the album version as well. I have four of those, but one is a bit worn.
Thanks for the heads up, but I tend to handle all my vinyl with extreme care. Learned that early on.
