Frank's Vinyl Museum

Before there were MP3 players, back before there were CDs, way back before there were cassette tapes, and before the 8-track tape, there were records. That was what your parents, grandparents, and great grandparents used to listen to music on. There were 78 rpms, 45 rpms, and even 33 1/3 rpm records. Today's Warped destination takes us to a site that salutes some of the more interesting recordings from yesterday.

The name of the site is Frank's Vinyl Museum, The Internet Home of Weird Records. Some of the ones here I remember, and some are best forgotten. Where else can you hear Bill Cosby sing, see Goldie Hawn's album, Ethel Merman doing disco, and who could forget Enoch Light and the Light Brigade. There are pictures of the album covers, each with it's own page and a spot to fill in your memories of that album.

This site is full of nostalgia, especially if you remember when these albums were mainstream entertainment. I come on, May West singing, and yes, you can see the William Shatner's 2nd album, the one without "Mr. Tambourine Man". The Warp-o-Meter rating on this site is a 7.5, and it does have a nice beat but you can't dance to it.
