Cleaning Up A Dirty Groove
I never realized what evil lurks in a record’s grooves.
July 1, 1975
I never realized what evil lurks in a record’s grooves. I didn’t know that records need to be regularly washed, mopped, and vacuumed. If fifty cents worth of pvc had any sanitary habits, they’d never occurred to me. Then a booklet with bright orange and blue covers came in the mail. It was the new edition of Watts, Just For The Record, a twenty-seven page guide to record protection, maintenance, and preservation based on the ingenious philosophy of the late Cecil E. Watts, British musician, recording engineer, and scientist who devoted his life to record care.
