vinyl drag

Vinyl Drag is an experiment. An experiment that takes place on an unsuspecting slab of 12” vinyl.

We all know that vinyl records are vulnerable, and need to be treated with respect. Keeping to this rule I’ve always been mindful of the way that I handle all records that I come across. Now it’s time to see what happens when I don’t follow the rules. Below you will find recordings that serve as a document of degradation. Every week (or so) since October I have been using this page to post an audio recording of a 12" record that has been intentionally abused.

As with all blogs the posts work backwards with the most recent post at the top and the original track at the bottom. Click to hear the original track.
Alternatively, you can click here to be presented with just the audio posts.

and with that…goodbye.

I believe this is a good time to end the project. The end of the road so to speak.

This will be the last time I document the records degradation on this blog. I’m now going to spend my time cleaning up the page so it’s worthy to be presented as my end of year piece. I’m going to be uploading a couple of recordings that I made that you will have never heard before, along with a montage of all 16 recordings.
