Today, a very interesting thing happened to me. I went to one of my local shops and was looking throug the bins of LP’s. I come across the LP of Jacintha “here’s to Ben” on the Groove note label. I look at the price, think it’s good and decide to buy it. Inside the sleeve are two (2) LP’s...one a 33 with nine tracks and the other..a 45 rpm with one track per side.( I thought this was odd, but??)
The vendor is nice enough to let me hear the LP...and unknown to me, he plays the 45 rpm track....sounds quite good. He leaves the room, and I happen to notice that there is another issue of this LP next to the one I want...this one is the 45 rpm reissue. I place the record back in the sleeve and go to the cashiers desk. At the desk, the vendor meets me and opens up the LP and says “what’s this 45 disc doing in the sleeve! “Kind of accuses me of placing it there....which i am shocked at. When I tell him that it was there before, he says he believes me but that it shouldn’t be there and says someone else must have been trying to take him.
I am now VERY uncomfortable...but still I buy the LP from him....minus the 45 rpm disc. When I get home, I do a little research and it seems that the 45rpm disc should indeed be included with the package...as this is the numbered original edition and they included the 45 disc with it...
I’m going back next week to claim the 45 disc...should I be mad..or what?
