I have a record with double groove: Pop Muzik by M

[jancumps]

I have a 12" at home from M: Pop Muzik.

The A side has two tracks, but in stead of sequential, they are pressed parallel.

This means that there are two interlocked grooves on the a-side, both starting at the outside of the record.
Depending on which groove the stylus hits when dropped,
it plays eithet Pop Muzik or M-Factor.

That's it. Jus wanted to share this with you.

Only other record I ever heard of done this way was a Monty Python album.

MAD magazine did a flexi-disk like this also.

Can you call something from 1979 a novelty?

1979 WAS a novelty...

:lmao:

Seriously though... I had the 45rpm "Pop Musik"/"M Factor" in my jukebox, and wore out both sides. Two "a" sides if you ask me. Does the 12" have extended mixes of BOTH songs?

No. And the extended version of Pop Muzik is not too exiting either. I Like both songs though.

True. Crazy year.
