Back in 1957, i think it was, my father bought a old glass cabinet, it included a old turntable and 5 small boxes of needles which i had to change after a several plays. There where some dutch records, jazz and the Platters 'Only You' with 'The Great Pretender' as b-side, some of those bakelite records were pieces broken down. I mean that even there was Bill haley's 'Rock around the clock'. And Rock ''n Roll came alive in a little soul....
