The second story supposedly celebrates the 100th anniversary of VINYL.
"One hundred years has passed since the first vinyl record was pressed
in a West London factory." Is THIS the quality of BBC news
reporting??? Is this factory in Hayes or West London? Last time I was
in Hayes it was in Middlesex, a train ride outside of London. Is this
the 100th anniversary of record pressing in this factory? Or the use of
Vinyl?? Did HMV use Vinyl earlier than 1931 Victrolac vinyl
pressings??? Or is it yet another case of a reporter not knowing what
the hell he is talking about?
