When I was a kid you could buy juke box takeouts for ten cents. Popular songs were not very good. The tracks were just about worn away.
I did that too, I couldn't afford many full price records and yes they were worn but I managed to play them anyway.
Any idea what ten cents might be in english money ?
According to Google $0.10 is 0.06 pound sterling today.
In those days in uk we still had non digital currency and I have no idea what I paid for the records. other than it was about a quarter of what retail records cost.
I got a lot of decent stuff that way though. mainly us rock and roll which wasn't that easy to find anyway.
I was in Scotland in the late 60's, thanks to Uncle Sams Yacht Club, and was amazed how prices were. Things that were necessities were relatively cheap while "luxuries" were very expensive. Record albums that I could buy hee for four or five dollars would have cost close to twenty over there. -- Those who expect to reap the blessings of freedom must. like men, undergo the fatigue of supporting it.-Thomas Paine _ _... ..._ _ _._ ._ ..... ._.. ... .._ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
