h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

[That's a rubbish journal subject. I wracked my brains for a better one, but that'll have to do]

So here's the thing. The missus got round to buying Misplaced Childhood on cd (Marillion, for anyone of the wrong age) last week because I wasn't getting round to getting it out of the box in the loft and sticking it on the new turntable and converting it to mp3.

So, actually, here's the thing. I've ripped the aforementioned Misplaced Childhood, and I'm playing it. It gets to the end of the a-side, and just carries straight on. How bizarre. I was about to get up to turn it over. Every time I've _ever_ heard that album (and I used to listen to it a lot in 1985) I would have to go over to the record player, turn it over, pop the needle down on the other side, go back to what I was doing.

Bizarre. I'll just have another go at playing the last 30 seconds of Heart of Lothian...

*plays last 30 seconds*

...That's just bizarre.

Paff

I've got Grease on CD as I don't have a turntable anymore, so can't play the LP anymore, but I don't have the same problem because the CD only has half the tracks on it.
