Yes, those. A record player. But because I'm hip, I'll call it a turntable.
I have a big record collection and have not been able to listen to them for years. Just lugging them around with every move, and boy are they heavy!
The enjoyment comes not just in listening to the old music (everything from classical to Dean Martin to Duran Duran), but I particularly enjoy reading the album covers again. It's just not the same on a little CD insert. Look at the cigarette that Dean Martin is holding - seems so out of place today. But love the hat and the pin striped suit - very stylish!
Have a look at the dresses on the other two album covers. From the 1950s, one dress is a studded strapless gown with drop earings and pearl necklace. The other is a chiffon dress with perfectly matching dyed shoes, opera length gloves and finished with a tiara.
Makes me want to dance!
