Hi-Fi and Music:some light relief

Posted by: Robbor on 19 October 2015

Reading a number of the discussions/debates that seem to keep recurring in this forum, I was reminded of Flanders and Swann's take on the topic from nearly 60 years ago in their "Song of Reproduction"

'Plus ca change'!

Have a listen at, e.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RNGcCFr0eXE and see what you think.

Enjoy!

And, I forgot to add my thanks to all those forum posters for huge amounts of informative, valuable, and entertaining postings.

Just seen this and am searching for my Flanders and Swann LPs to listen to them. Haven't played them for a few year ... 'Mud, Mud, Glorious Mud ..."

They certainly repay revisiting - I was going to cite some tracks, like "The Reluctant Cannibal", Madeira M'dear", "Mesalliance", and then I realised the list would go on and on.... Incidentally on the internet there is a nice video which matches the defunct stations on "Slow Train" to old photos of the stations.

But, this is getting off topic for this forum....
