The perfect record skip

Nice Buzz/Good Tunes
I'm listening to Sly & the Family Stone "Stand," now on the track "Sing a Simple Song." Right now, the record is skipping and I have not gotten up to fix the skipping. Why? Because it sounds like a perfect loop; no interruption in the drumming, guitars, horns and the bass. Even the vocals aren't choppy. I must admit, this has never happened before when I've had a record skip. This seems like a once in a lifetime moment, so I am going to bask in it until I get tired of it in a few minutes. Of course, that's what happens when you are using a cheapy TT. Now I see why rappers were always sampling Sly & the Family Stone.

Best summer of my life was '71 and we listened to Sly's Greatest Hits all summer. Still can't sit still anytime I hear Wanna Take You Higher or Dance To the Music. :music:
 
I have someone doing a song on CD that repeats a musical phrase that is about the same length of time of a record revolution. The musical phrase repeats about ten times and after about 6 times I always think about getting up to fix the record skip.
 
I have the Quad LP version of "Greatest Hits" by Sly & The Family Stone. It has the true Stereo/Quad mixes of several key tracks unavailable elsewhere for many years. The mono 45 mixes of those hits are very important to own. They have life, bass slam, and impact. :tresbon:
 
Sounds like a skipping LP...

My daughter was in the school choir and chorus. She did well enough that they asked her to join a local theater group. The group did the musical, "Grease."

When they went to intermission, the band closed out the first act by playing a classic "doo-wop" chord progression. (Sounded like C-Am-F-G.)

However, they did not make it all the way through the progression. The music was written in such a way that, played properly, it sounded like a skipping 33 1/3 RPM LP.

:D The catch was that the kids in the band had no idea what they were playing, or what it represented. When I commented to one of them that it had perfectly reproduced the effect of a skipping LP, he was surprised---had no clue what a skipping LP sounded like! :D

:D They all had thought it was merely an unusual piece of music written with an odd harmony in a strange time signature. :D
 
Some techno and house records actually end in a "locked groove" in which the runout section continues in a continous ring locked in a loop to infinity for a DJ to never lose the beat.....
