I'm intrigued how many attempts it took to sync the double grooved intro on side 2.

Amazing!!! I pre-ordered it also.

Mr Bungle "Disco Volante" had a parrallel groove ...as did a monty python record...and apart from the beatles sgt peppers...UB40 also had an endless groove on one side of their first release "signing off" lp....but to have all that plus all the extra stuff on an lp, must have been a logistical nightmare....so of course I ordered one as well...

Mercury records released a very limited edition promotional LP called "Rush 'N' Roulette" that had seemingly only one track per side but when you dropped the needle it played a random song.

Also, I remember Mad Magazine included a flexi-disc in one issue that played three or four different song depending on the needle drop.

These were called puzzle records and have been around since the acoustic era. The most common were a 45 from K-Tel and a game called They're At The Post from the '70's

The difference with this double groove is that it is for the intro of the track only, so either they had to meticulously time the cutting so that the intros converged on time, before settling into a single groove for the rest of the track, or they cheated and went double groove for the whole track and converged at the end during the gap between tracks. Also they're talking about a locked groove on the outside of a side being a first.

(I have also ordered one based on the multiple novelties!)

Snood Sprung just for the Angel...........plus other sites were charging 30 bux plus grrrrrrrrr

 

[Bob Romano]

Why does Snood refer to Snood in the third person all the time???

 

[Snood]

Because Snood is Snood

and not all the time

I still have that record somewhere. I need to fish it out.
