That's excellent. No idea what I could do with them but excellent.

I've sent a link to my son ( who does a lot of remixes and garage type stuff) and he's really pleased. Very hard to please 17 year old boys ( except with 17 year old girls*).





* Or boys as the case may be. I keep telling my son we'd be far more interesting as a family if he turned out gay but he won't be persuaded.

A friend and I used to use the BBC vinyl records for sound effects when we produced the local panto.

There was nothing for Aladdin's cave of wonders opening so we recorded a jam jar rolling in a drawer,

Interesting. A few clips of Seagulls. I might be able to use those

Or the clever use of delay - Bill Nelson in the Be Bop Deluxe song Sister seagull ...

Go to 3:05 for seagulls ... :-)

I bought one of those in the 70s as it was on sale. No use for it whatsoever but I loved listening to them
