A look at a Horse Racing game that uses Random 'Sixteen Sided' Records to determine the winner.
Wikipedia Article about multisided records en.wikipedia.o...
If you’re wondering about how the odds for the races worked - there’s a series of odds sheets that are shuffled to randomise the odds for a race. There’s a load more stuff relating to odds and each way bets and what-have-you and they all combine to make this more like a maths exam than a fun game. I’m someone who has bet on horses plenty of times over the years but the way the rules for this game have been structured and explained just sound like gobbledegook.
Note: Only the first (1973) pressing of the Monty Python Record ‘Matching Tie & Handkerchief’ had a double spiral side B. Subsequent pressings had the two audio tracks stitched together sequentially. Apparently the album art I’ve grabbed for this video is of the US release that most likely won’t have a double spiral.
FAQs
Q) Why are there comments from a week ago when this video has just gone live today?
A) Patrons usually have early access to videos. I'll show the first version of a video on Patreon and often the feedback I get results in a video going through further revisions to improve it. e.g. Fix audio issues, clarify points, add extra footage or cut extraneous things out. The video that goes live on youtube is the final version.
Q) Why is there a picture of a cheese sandwich on screen at the beginning?
A) A while ago I coined the phrase ‘A cheese sandwich video’ to describe a simple video that’s exactly what it is and nothing more - just like a cheese sandwich is a sandwich containing cheese.
A cheese sandwich video is simpler video that doesn’t take weeks to assemble. It’s usually a brief demonstration of one item.
If you see the image pop up at the start of a video - it's a sign to expect a less complicated and elaborate video. Sometimes all a product needs (or deserves) is a simple demonstration - and that’s where these kinds of videos fit in.
There's nothing wrong with a cheese sandwich, but if you were expecting to get a steak dinner you might be disappointed if a cheese sandwich turns up. It's all about setting expectations.

@valdecoxib
@valdecoxib 4 года назад
ndcoten just wondering, is it also on sale as a cassette? i always just fail to understand when people or labels offer vinyl presses of an artist’s work, but don’t release it on cassette or CD; just digital file or analog disc. humor me if you don’t mind, is it because basically all new tapes are type I, generally considered the least favorable for Hi-Fi enthusiasts (IV being best, but no longer available except new-old-stock, and is also more expensive; adds up in bulk). if the nostalgia or physical media niche is the target, not HiFi buyers, they’re missing out by not also selling audiocassettes of the release. type I, although not the best, is certainly passable for (most, calm it) people. quiet parts may be hissy, but if both ends of the deal give a damn, it’ll have at least Dolby B NR recorded and on playback. lack of CD releases I fail to understand even worse when for Hi-Fi owners: compact discs are uncompressed audio data with robust error correction, and you can still get nice players; even a bottom-barrel disc machine with audio out will be nice with preferred speakers. vinyl can also sound great, there’s no denying that, but the quality is inherently a quick dropoff because records just don’t have error correction, and they’re playing back an analog of sound info. a piece of dust big enough? thats a pop or crackle, not the “charm of vinyl,” it’s distracting even to people who don’t identify as audiophiles. i literally use free youtube for music; 128 kbps AAC, just TV speakers, and i’m pleased because the song is still intact. there’s no way to get better quality without buying or, i guess stealing its CD release and buy/stealing better speakers(ideally an amp too but eh). people who listen to copies of analog recordings on youtube, like from a vinyl disc, and gush over the analog warmth, meaning the slight errors that make it sound human(i enjoy that, won’t deny)? you’re listening to DIGITAL AUDIO. 128 kbps, AAC. some of these dudes even claim it sounds better than the official autogenerated upload. it CAN’T! both of these signals are at a bitrate of 128 kbps, and in AAC format. if anything, the official upload sounds better because it was done by...professionals, with the highest quality they could put into it. HOWEVER, neither is able to disobey the following fact: youtube compresses audio to a bitrate of, say along, 128 kbps and converts it to an AAC stream. meaning that even if both have the same “grade(i guess)” of audio fidelity going in? you are listening to the same exact audio signal, but vinyl just has very slight errors, as would any mechanical audio format, not even just analog; CDs have error correction for a reason. the player might catch an error, replicate it based on context, and you would be blissfully ignorant of the error’s existence. if it was small enough. i dont even know what point i started with, but ill try and end: vinyl is not superior in quality to digital files at their best, and compressing audio will always reduce its quality, vinyl is harder to maintain than audiotape or digital disc, and who knows what market the seller is trying to target. regardless, you enjoy audio your way.records, CC, CD, RTRTR, stream, digital rip, on a terrible mp3 player, fuck, even on a janky VCR you got the headphone->phono cable for JUST to record your audio with the HiFi mode. enjoy the audio you listen to, damn it. don’t worry if its superior or inferior to anything in audio quality, or claim it’s better without knowing what you’d need to do correctly state that. don’t constantly buy new gear (unless you enjoy burning disposable income, not my business) because you noticed a TINY fault. if i dont like the audio i hear, i search a new song. that’s free to use with an internet subscription; n o e x t r a c o s t. quality? shit, if you want to get into this, you only need an amp that suits your taste, compatible speakers, and whatever cabling you need for the setup. start there, because the speaker itself is one of the biggest bottlenecks to fidelity aside from a terrible signal to start with. dont know what i was even saying. peace out, let me know if you enjoyed reading my semicoherent diatribe, or, if you wish you could meet me and punch me in the face good day, afternoon, or night, be safe, enjoy...life? sure. bye.

@@valdecoxib If your point is "different strokes..." and anti-elitist BS then I'm with you completely. I'm reallly tired of hearing "mine is better than yours", and *ESPECIALLY* "I can hear/see/perceive things you can't". Nope. No, you can't. You are human just like me, and within an extremely narrow variance we have exactly the same biology and capability. What you have is different *tastes*, and there is nothing inherently "better" about your taste. And in many cases the claims about "better" this or that are provably false. One thing I know for certain: any audio equipment for home use that costs more than $1000 (for any single component) is absolutely a waste of money, and anyone who claims to hear the difference is a liar. Any actual, discernable difference is due to deliberate design, not quality (and anyone can hear that difference), and it's not difficult to find something affordable to the masses that performs at least as well as something that only the filthy rich can afford. That's a general truism, by the way, not only applicable to audio equipment.

@@valdecoxib It doesn't even matter if it is on RU-vid, all releases of modern music on retro formats is based on music in a digital format. Nobody does analog mastering anymore, so in the end it is just a digital master stored on a vinyl/whatever, slightly modified to respect the limitations of such formats (band-limiting, etc.). That digital master is potentially higher quality than CD audio, but you can just sell that (and some do) and I doubt anyone without the best of equipment will be able to tell a difference.

First edition of the Marillion concept album Brave has a double groove on the b-side, resulting in a different ending for the story. One has a ‘happy ending’ that includes the final song ‘made again’, while the other groove just goes out with an instrumental version of ‘the great escape’, ending on a sadder note and the protagonist not surviving. A masterpiece of an album and a good example of utilising multiple groove technology. Thank you for another interesting video, been a follower for years! Cheers

Not only do I own that Monty Python record (first pressing, from a thrift store in Tennessee), but I was lucky enough to hang out with Terry Gilliam and he signed it! I was commissioned to make an award that was presented to him on his three-city stop in the US a few years ago. He said that people at the time just thought it was weird and didn’t get it. On another note, there are several artists that have released multi-sided records in the last decade or so. Do a search for 6 sided record, 12 sided record, etc.

Interesting video, as always! The 12" of Kate Bush's Sensual World single has a double groove. One plays the vocal version, the other plays the instrumental. Thing is, it's quite a long introduction before the vocals come in so you have time to place bets on which it is.

Garbage also released a 7” single (it was “Only Happy When It Rains”, 1995) with 2 tracks on the b-side recorded like that (but slightly edited in comparison their cd counterparts). Their label was investing heavily on the design and packaging of their singles from their early records. Credits to Rob Hahn that corrected me. I initially mentioned "Queer" by mistake.

I knew where Mat was going with this as soon as he mentioned the vinyl was 'random'. Way back when, I purchased a copy of the Kate Bush single 12" EP The Sensual World. No where on the sleeve does it advertise the album as a 'double groove' pressing. From discogs - The 'A' side is double grooved. Depending upon which groove the stylus hits, either the vocal or instrumental version will be played. The double groove feature, ie. the existence of AB on the record, is not mentioned on the release.

Similar technology to early talking toys (think Woody from Toy Story). The pull string wound up a small record player, and the needle would randomly land in one of several grooves - thats why those dolls could say different phrases. No battery needed, also, cause the needle attached directly to the sound diaphragm.
