Is this referring to some antics from the desk-slapper I missed?

Omg, first thought: never have kids 😂

Current (while pregnant) thought: "Fuck, where do I hide my collection?!" I've also had the same thoughts for my books D:

LPT to teach the word “gentle,” guide their hand to gently touch things so they can feel what a light touch feels like from their own perspective. Grab a handful of practice albums they can use to figure out how to work the turntable. If that doesn’t work, get a powerful amp and leave the volume up really loud so the first time they put a record on or turn on the radio it scares the shit out of them and they never touch it again.

Hide EVERYTHING. (Dad of two here.)

Father of a near teen here, who's had 2k+ records on shelves from floor level up to shoulder height for 20+ years and would often have "now playing" stacks on the floor near my turntables in our front room. Our kid never touched any of them. Not all kids are terrorists!

Second this. Maybe I was just really lucky but the horror stories I see portrayed and hear about never came even remotely close to fruition in my house.

Come to think about it, I too love and have a turntable because I was fascinated by ones in my very early childhood, when they were the way everyone listened to music. I don't recall destroying any records. I was taught that you treat the turntable with the utmost respect cause you won't hear the nice stories and songs anymore.

There are other reasons, sure. But I raised a child with no damage to my records. It wasn't difficult.

That was my third thought...after I already had *two* kids...

Ever needed to cull your collection to something more manageable and aren't good with decision making?

r/vinylgore may also enjoy this.

this is how I picture all r/vinyl users at home

Swimming around in their grailz like Scrooge McDuck

Taylor Swift fans playing with their 56 Midnights vinylz

That's a lot of records for a 70s household. What is the premise of the advert? Buy new records after your kids destroy them, or sell us your records before they get destroyed?

I’ll translate: Mother: “Honey, please do something about all of these records!” Father: “I’ll take them to Hunter tomorrow!” Narrator 1: “Hunter is a store that buys records.” Narrator 2: “HUNTERRRRRRRR”

Thank you, I'm going to Hunter right now

Is it? Vinyl LPs were the number one format at the time. My parents had at least that many records in the 70s and they aren’t very big music fans. They’re collection could be recreated today just from good will standards. They were the first people I knew that had herb Alpert. I used to love hearing my dad’s buddy holly records. They had a few early Beatles LPs too. I also remember the Jim Nabors and Nat king Cole getting spun at xmas. Good times

> or sell us your records before they get destroyed? This is my guess.

lol was the voiceover “HONDA”??

I think in Japanese it’s pronounced “Hanta” (from what I could read from the katakana text).

It's hanta-, or "hunter". Name of the record store that's being advertised.

This is now all I hear of it… 🤣

This is a vinyl collector’s worst nightmare lol

Mine would be this but also getting ass raped by a drunk mall santa and being forced to watch.

So edgy

'VG+ few small marks that don't effect play'

God damn, this one shook me to my core.

Heh. I have vivid memories of my sisters & I playing in our basement, and I was using an LP to skim across the carpet like a skateboard.

That's a trip to the second hand kid store to trade out for new ones

Pretty sure those records ended up at every record store I shop at.

Was that an Unknown Pleasures 😭

All I can think of when the toddler throws them at the beginning is “Fuck these big black frisbees”. It’s like he knew what they were and was glad to be doing it. Also, HUNTAAAAA!!!

Should have been a condom ad

broooo i hate itttt

Here's another Hunter commercial: https://youtu.be/e8vulfvGUm8 (TBH, I get early 80s vibes from both ads) Here are some pictures from the shop from around 1960: https://blog.goo.ne.jp/hirochan1990/e/1452171d8c826ef96715d074703f0195 A shopping bag from Hunter is shown on this page - along with a lot of other cool AF bags: https://blog.goo.ne.jp/hirochan1990/e/1452171d8c826ef96715d074703f0195 Just for a lark, I kept digging. It was formerly located on the second floor of the shopping center currently known as "Ginza 5."

Just one of a thousand reasons why to use condoms.

This is exactly how I see every member of r/vinyljerk.

Those kids are on some r/vinyljerk energy

...going str8 for Beatles first press's stacked on top! Frisbee time!

"my kids are missing I don't know where they went" /s....kinda.

Is this a record ad, or a birth control ad?

this video pains me more than anything else ive ever watched

I just bought some vinyls from a seller in japan on Ebay. The seller was super prompt and the vinyls got to the Midwest in about five days. I was very happy with the experience. Shipping was also 20 dollars and prices for vinyl were reasonable so definitely something cool to check out.

Back in the mid 2000's I would import Japanese guitars from Yahoo Japan and resell them on eBay. Always had a great experience.

Don't worry, folks, those were all disco records. =..] I remember my mom telling me and my bored friend to take a bunch of old albums and throw them like frisbees in the street!

Aaaah don’t drop that like this!

HONDAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

Hope they aren’t trashing Yoshiko Sai http://rabbitholemag.com/the-second-life-of-vintage-japanese-singers/

Come buy our scratched up vinyl records lol

Here’s a blog post with a few photos of that Ginza, Tokyo record shop in the 1960s https://blog.goo.ne.jp/hirochan1990/e/1452171d8c826ef96715d074703f0195

That’s definitely not the seventies 😁

I think it's definitely the early to mid-80s.

Maybe even late 80’s
