I can't think why people use roofing felt, when they can just spend
months nailing LPs on instead.

Maybe they'll fuse togther? Not sure what the UV will do to them
though.

Seems a bit of a waste of good vinyl.
I wonder how stable it would be though as records warp easily in hot places.

Coincides nicely with yet another vinyl 'revival' - it's Record Store Day
today. They had a true nutcase on R4 Saturday Live today. Reminded me of
several on here. He really seemed to believe the rubbish he was talking.

From the look of it he's already used a heat gun to fold the records over
the ridge and at the edges so I don't think a bit of warping is going to
show much. ;-)

Those who want slavery should have the grace to name it by its proper
name. They must face the full meaning of that which they are advocating
or condoning; the full, exact, specific meaning of collectivism, of its
logical implications, of the principles upon which it is based, and of
the ultimate consequences to which these principles will lead. They must
face it, then decide whether this is what they want or not.
