Oh , Those Vinyls!

(Tatiana Balashova for the TangoDancersBlog)

... Who hasn't admired vinyl records at some point of your life?.. I remember how we, kids (me and my (girl)friends) were dancing after school to the oldies hits recorded on enigmatic vinyls, I especially was fascinated with the small half-transparent light blue ones, they were very thin and flexible... We did not know tango at that time and it was mostly pop and rock repertoire, one of such vinyls had a song that really sticks in memory. It was the legendary "Daddy Cool" by "Bonny M" which we actually used to sing with the 2nd line as "Varvara zhureet koor" (aka. in Russian "Варвара жарит кур" which means "Varvara is frying chickens" :). And I swear in Russian it's really what we hear even now!!.. (it's really hard to understand that line in English!!)...  So of course that song people knew in Russia more as the "Varvara is frying chickens" song and not as "Daddy Cool" :). Plus it can also be more fun and easier to sing something in your native language, right?

Anyways, I guess there are funny stories like that in any country. I am glad that I grew up with vinyls, and then we used tapes, spent recording classical and pop-rock music from one tape to another, sharing with each other, or trying to catch it on time from a radio (especially some classical music I've heard in such a way)... When you had to wake up very early to go to a weekend music market to treasure hunt and secretly spend much more than needed there!!... to find some favorite cds or discover something new...

In our days there are still some Tango DJs are working with vinyl records which is amazing (I hope their efforts are worth it all). And now more and more people are actually collecting vinyl records, indulging in the music gourmet experience on cosy evenings...

Anyways, time flies, we are in a different age now and yet let's learn how what it actually takes to make a vinyl record.
