Interesting video but I wish he’d gone into the fact that Seeburg worked with RCA in the late 40’s as they were developing the M100B, or at least the fact that LP would never have never worked for the jukebox or radio market. No matter how successful the LP format became, there was ALWAYS going to be a need for a one-song-per-side format for no other reason than operators wouldn’t make any money playing an entire side of an LP for a nickel and DJs would have a harder time cueing up tracks in the middle of the LP on multiple turntables.

Years ago I found, at a Goodwill Store, a set of odd looking records in a new unopened package. The Seeburg label caught my eye. There was 25 or 50 of them. Someone said they were for a Seeburg commercial background music player. I think the speed was 16-2/3 RPM. I probably sold them at the "old" Fun Fair Coin Op show in Pasadena, CA. I think Seeburg made a few different varieties of music such as seasonal for Christmas. Seeburg had a special machine for playing those records (as my "antique" memory remembers). I think we had a stereo that played 16 RPM records as well as the other popular speeds. The records, in this set, were all like "elevator music". They played a very looong time and sounded good if you enjoyed that type of music.

When I was in my late teens I had the pleasure of listening to WMDI 102.3 an album rock station in McKean, PA. I really enjoyed hearing the album cuts compared to the single cuts on the other radio stations and the 45's I had at home. I remember most clearly the release of a live album they played one night without interruption. Many had there real to reals all queued up for the event. Frampton Comes Alive! |

Hi Tom,
They played it live with out a "talk-over" (this is radio 102.3---) All the stations here in the San Francisco area ALL ways "talked over" any thing they played that was "new"-- Ron Rich
