Comments by "Brad Griffin" (@BradGryphonn) on "Automatic Record Changers: We used to like them" video.
Yep, I've had this odd disc number scheme on a double album. Buggered if I can remember which one. But hey, I have had four different record players from the 60s vintage through to the late 70s with record changers. Oh, and I'm an Aussie, we do stuff upside down LOL.

11:20 YES! For example (and I think I've mentioned this before), I had a battery operated mono portable record player that I carried with me whenever I could (I was 12 years old) around 1975. I had Two 45 rpm records; 'Fox on the Run' (Burn on the Flame B-side) by The Sweet and 'Living in the Seventies' (You're a Broken Gin Bottle, Baby B-side) by Skyhooks that I'd carry with me. I'd sit on street corners, or between buildings that would echo and play my singles. I thought I was too cool for school. As I grew I became a bit of an Audiophile and ended up with collections of different amps and pre-amps and tuners and turntables and cassette decks...and speakers. Oh, the money I wasted on speakers... But I wasn't as addicted as a mate. He had an 8 or 16(?) track reel-to-reel deck and some Nakamichi (?) cassette deck worth 10s of thousands. I could have bought a car for the price of his speaker stack.
