Superlaphonic Hi-Fi


This is a recent piece of mine and as you can see it is a collection of blank record sleeves. Now I haven't owned a record player in a long time, but now (thanks to this project) I own a bunch of records!

Having purchased them all at Goodwill and Salvation Army, I have come to the conclusion that old people must have enormous collections of Christmas music. I have managed to secure a few interesting records, though. . . like "Fife and Drum Music of the Revolutionary Period". Really?! They made an album of this? There was also a recording of some French crooner from the 1960's. I was incredibly excited to find "Music of my People" (the 'people' being those of the Jewish faith) but after purchasing it, I discovered that some scoundrel had swapped the actual record for Dvorak. Crap. I didn't need any more Dvorak.
