- The multi-groove records go back to the 78rpm era. There were
- records you could buy that had a horse race. You would bet,
- and then play the record. There were 4 races per side if I
- remember. Never knew which horse was going to win.

- The first instance of a locked groove LP I remember was
- produced by Bill Szymchk (spelling is close - and I forgot the
- band's name".
-
- As you hit the final groove it said "turn me over, turn me
- over, ....", and on the other side it said "Play me again, play
- me again,..."
-
- One of the strange ones along the line of the Monty Python
- cited above, was from one of the innumerable comedy albums
- inspired by popularity of Firesign Theatre.
-
- I don't remember the name of the group, but they were doing one
- of the "Startrek" improvisations. And the last line, going
- into the runout groove was somthing like "Look out Captain,
- we're going to crash into the record label!".
