I have an old record with my Grandmother’s voice on it. I want so badly to hear her. Is there a way I can do that? I do not own a record player but moreover I do not want to damage the record media. Any advice?
Thank you kindly,
Melissa

We also owe William a huge thanks for being part of my Independent Music Award nominated album “Rosler’s Recording Booth”, which was inspired by these booths and records. We got killer reviews and garnered a NY Times article about one of the songs. As you can see below, our cover art was inspired by the very booth William talks about. These were original songs mostly inspired by these booths and records, and we used some of Williams records (as well as NPR’s Kitchen Sisters and BBC’s Alan Dein AND one I found of my grandpa and brothers in an old arcade, among others). How I found William’s records and ended up joining forces is a story unto itself. Congrats William.
