Three hours of traveled-through-the-wind LP records spun in real time, that were either given to me by friends, or were discarded outright (except for the first two tracks, which are from a CD). The last hour is the same sound, but from modern vinyl reissues, which some people love (I do) and some people hate, favoring the original releases, crackles and all.
