On the very experimental side of things some of you might be interested
in the artist Philip Jeck. For many years he's been peforming with lock-
grooves ( not pressed ones, but by forcing it with a simple sticker to nudge
the needle out a groove every revolution )

He's aquired a vast collection of old record players ( the ones with the
internal speakers ) that he once used for a performance called 'vinyl
requiem' with The Royal College Of Arts Lol Seargent. It was a massive
wall of maybe a hundred players playing simultaneously. ( I never
actually saw it so i can't comment on what it sounded like )

Anyway, he's released a few CD's of his stuff on Jon Wozencrofts London
based label TOUCH.
