Here is a 16rpm MUSIC record being played (HERB ALBERT - 1965) and it sounds insane! (I WOULD LOVE FINDING SOME 16s TO LISTEN TO IN ACTUAL ANALOGUE!! (My player does have 16))

Agree with you and the other commenters - it sounds amazing. The band, of course, might have something to do with that.

Yes indeed that is a big factor!!!

I had someone tell me once music @ 16 sounded horrible but that sure doesnt!!!

Today I got a 16rpm record!!! (2 sides)

A radio show "Modern Italian Opera Music of the 20th century" (Its a show recorded on a record and sent to a radio station for airplay)

Sounds goregous!!!



Im glad I have a microgroove needle or it may not play this record well!!
