Alright Mike nice 1974, how about this stuff from 2008. Might confuse a couple of folks here tonight! Love Aerosmith's first five no doubt about it!

 

Got a wonderful sounding album right here to carry me for a while this eve.

Along the forest road there's hundreds of cars, luxury cars
Each has got its load of convertible bars, cutlery cars, super scars
For today is the day when they sort it out, sort it out
'Cause they disagree on a gangland boundary
They disagree on a gangland boundary
There's Willy Wright and his boys, one helluva noise
That's @Billybob's boys with fully-fashioned mugs
That's little John's thugs, the Barking slugs, super smugs
For today is the day when they sort it out, sort it out
Yes, these Christian soldiers fight to protect the poor
East end heroes got to score in the battle of Epping forest
Yes, it's the battle of Epping forest right outside your door
And you ain't seen nothing like it
No, you ain't seen nothing like it
Not since the civil war
Comin' over the hill are the boys of Bill
And @John j's lads stand very still
With the thumpires shout, they all start to clout
There's no guns in this gentleman's bout
And Georgie moves in on the outside left
With a chain flying round his head
And Harold Demure, from art literature
Nips up the nearest tree, here come the cavalry
Amidst the battle roar, accountants keep the score, 10-4
They've never been alone, after getting a radiophone
The bluebells are ringing for sweet meal Sam, real ham
Handin' out bread and jam just like any picnic, picnic, picnic, picnic
It's 5 to 4 on William Wright, he made his pile on derby night
When @Billybobs was a kid walking the streets, the other kids hid, so they did
And now after workin' hard in security trade, he's got it made
The shops that need aid are those that haven't paid
"I do my double-show quick" Said Mick the prick, fresh out the Nick
"I sold cheap holiday, the minute they leave
Then a visit I pay an' does it pay"
His friend, @fullrange by name, of wine, women and Wandsworth fame
Said, "I'm breaking the legs of the bastard that got me framed"
I'm breaking the legs of the bastard that got me framed, got me framed
They called me the reverend when I entered the church unstained
My employers have changed but the name has remained
All began when I went on a tour, hoping to find some furniture
I followed a sign, it said, 'Beautiful Chest"
It led to a lady who showed me her best
She was taken by surprise when I quickly closed my eyes
So she rang the bell, and quick as hell
@billyBob the nob, came out on his job to see what the trouble was
"Louise, is the reverend hard to please? "
"You're telling me!"
"Perhaps, sir, if its not too late
We could interest you in our old-fashioned Staffirdshire? "
"Oh no, not me, I'm a man of repute"
But the  @dirtmudd caught hold of my soul and a voice called out "Shoot!"
To save my steeple, I visited people
For this I'd gone when I met little Johnj
His name came, I understood
When the judge said, "You're a robbing hood"
He told me of his strange foundation
Conceived on sight of the Woodstock nation
He'd had to hide his reputation
When poor, 'twas salvation from door to door
But now, with a pin-up guru every week
It was love, peace and truth incorporated for all who seek
He employed me as a karma-ma-mechanic, with overall charms
His hands were then fit to receive, receive alms
That's why we're in the battle of Epping forest
Yes, it's the battle of Epping forest
Right outside your door
We guard your souls for peanuts
And we guard your shops and houses
For just a little more, just a little more
In with a left hook is the bethnal green butcher
But hes countered on the right by @oldtimer chain-gang fight
And Liquid Len, with his smashed bottle men
Is lobbing @billyBob the nob across the gob
With his kisser in a mess, Bob seems under stress
But Jones the jug hits Len right in the mug
And Harold Demure, who's still not quite sure
Fires acorns from out of his sling, here come the cavalry
Up, up above the crowd
Inside their silver cloud, done proud
The bold and brazen brass, seen darkly through the glass
The butlers got jam on his rolls, Roy Doles out the lot
With tea from a silver pot just like any picnic, picnic, picnic, picnic
Along the forest road, its the end of the day
And the clouds roll away
Each has got its load, they'll come out for the count
At the breakin' of day
When the limos return for their final review, it's all through
All they can see is the morning goo
"There's no one left alive, must be a draw"
So the black cap barons toss a coin to settle the score

Design wise it’s not so great 

I have read that the wire at the notched bar end tends to slip off 

If that happens a little blue tack is the answer 

Agreed. But the tiny loop in the line is pre-knotted.... Think I'd have to reach back there and nudge it for it to jump the groove

The tendency of the tonearm on a spinning record is to move towards the center.   Anti skate helps to correct this tendency by applying an outward force.  The force exerted on the tonearm varies across the width of the disc, so a static anti skate is at best an average as there will be only one spot where it is set perfectly.
There are lots of explanations out there, such as this one:

But doesn’t the spinning of the LP make the tonearm track towards the outside of the album ,that is my question and thoughts about it

Buy a blank piece of vinyl and see.  One test for proper anti-skate is to put the stylus halfway between the center and the edge and it doesn't move either way (best case).  Try it without anti-skate engaged and tell me which way it goes.  Of course, the table needs to be perfectly level as well, otherwise you have greater problems than setting anti-skate.

 

Look at the grooves at the end of an lp.  Are they designed to keep the stylus from going backwards, or from going all the way to the label?

No as it’s a 3 hour flight to the venue 

Plus I’m working 

As it’s an annual event, I may get to visit another year

Didn't realize you were 3 hours outta Melbourne.  Ugh!  Looks pretty nice but we allll know how the "record fair" prices would be like.  lol

 


Brisbane to Melbourne is 853 miles by air ( longer by road ) so it’s a little out of the way Dave 


In Brisbane I visit our local  record fair 

Its a monthly event 

And it’s less than a 10min drive from me 

 

I even have a specialty made “custom” leather satchel to fit records for my visits 

 

Its a first pressing #19

Holds a lot of records 

So far I haven’t filled it yet but the last record fair haul was 15 LPs 

Certainly 15 is a good thing... enjoying your efforts here. Certainly Brisbane is not coming a one horse Outpost from my observation s.  Cool
