The "Dinking" of a record is the process used to punch out the large center hole. This process was first introduced in the United States so that "Dinked" records could be played in Jukeboxes. Dinked is also, the name of a new record label specializing in large center hole soul & funk 7" vinyl 45's. Traditionally the large center hole indicates the record is a 7" 45rpm single. Jukeboxes were by far the most popular way to hear music in the 40's & 50's so records pressed in the United States were by default manufactured with a "Dinked" or large center hole. In the 1940's 75% of all 45's pressed went straight into jukeboxes. Long Play and 33rpm 7"s were still made with small holes during this period and there were a few jukeboxes in circulation that had the ability to play both. The size of the hole would determine at which speed the record would play. In the United Kingdom 7"s were manufactured with small holes regardless of the playback speed. The jukebox operators would then "Dink" the records themselves using a hand dinking tool. As the popularity of jukeboxes declined and more records were made for home listening, dinked 7" records lost their appeal and the smaller hole started to become the standard. Capitol records then introduced the 7" with a knock out center. It was the knock out center that eventually made the dinked center redundant. </div>

The good thing about these new issues from the label is those that own rare and expensive original copies can finally put them on ice and stop risking cue burns or damage to them. Gary Byrd's "Soul Traveling" is a sought after funk jawn with the oh so dope horn intro as sampled by Soul II Soul.<br />

Picked these up in Amsterdam on my travels this past year. Super necessary for vinyl 45 dj's courtesy of Japan's Mukatsuku they simply lay on top of the record over your adaptor to add any extra weight to dampen noise improve bass and reduce skipping. I'm pretty sure these came and went but the good news is DJ Osmose makes a similar thing and he's based in the USA. You can find him by doing a google search.Supreme La Rockhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16382365266702006980noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9015738384774528672.post-86715627919472094352015-11-10T11:23:00.003-08:002015-11-10T11:25:18.364-08:00Supreme La Rock x Estate x Pusha T<a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/user/SoulGorilla/media/e0361e22-3ac1-4ca8-99a3-25fcb204dae2_zps8fa0wadz.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo e0361e22-3ac1-4ca8-99a3-25fcb204dae2_zps8fa0wadz.jpg" border="0" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v203/SoulGorilla/e0361e22-3ac1-4ca8-99a3-25fcb204dae2_zps8fa0wadz.jpg" /></a><br />

Ever since the Helmut Lang designed 12" Louis Vuitton record box was introduced in the mid 90's i've wanted one. I've actually found 3 since then but have always been a dollar short. People want an arm & a leg for those things. I can't get a hold of John Travolta who I hear has one so I did the next best thing. Sent my old duffle bags off to the homie to make me this one off double wide case for my best 45s.Supreme La Rockhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16382365266702006980noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9015738384774528672.post-80372389677074243562015-03-24T20:26:00.003-07:002015-03-24T20:26:33.111-07:00Brand New Bag<a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/user/SoulGorilla/media/90bf838d-4648-4497-a09f-18302f0d9427_zpsilcptjn6.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo 90bf838d-4648-4497-a09f-18302f0d9427_zpsilcptjn6.jpg" border="0" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v203/SoulGorilla/90bf838d-4648-4497-a09f-18302f0d9427_zpsilcptjn6.jpg" /></a><br />

My quest for the odd local record never stops. The latest discovery is a 45 by a group called Image. Once again they released this record with very little to no information on it as far as publishing, copyright owners, writers, etc. Gonna be hard to track but i'm on my mission, and before anyone tells me to call the phone number I already did that. It's out of service. The internet can be an amazing tool! With that being said anyone who has any information on this record please contact me I have questions. Any band members, radio djs, managers, promoters, family members etc. Someone here in Seattle holds they key to this one. I'll post audio when I can the divshare site seems to be down at the moment.<br />

Back with another slice of Seattle (Blue Eyed) Soul for you. Today's selection is from Mike Nelson on the Thunder Tummy records label. I recall my parents having a 45 when I was 4 years old on this label and specifically remember it because I thought the art work was so funny as a kid. I don't recall what record they owned but i'm gonna say it was most likely the ballad of Sonny Sixkiller. That record seems to be easily available while this one is not. <br />

It never fails. Never ever. Just when I think I have every local Seattle 45 there is to have, another pops up! This recent discovery is by Kayano released in 1985 and definitely up there as one of my top favorite local records. Very rare as only 3 known copies have surfaced. Apparently it was pressed in quantity of 1000 and half of them ended up being thrown in a dumpster, 100 copies to radio promotion and the remainder to a record distributor. Kayano not only does music but paints pictures as well. I'm going to try to catch up with him to see some of his work soon and get the scoop on this modern soul masterpiece that struggled to see the light of day. He told me he played all the instruments and did the vocals solo on this!<br />
