<< there used to be booths in
stores that people could go in and record themselves for a small amount
of
money. The booth would have a recording device that would generate a
one-off
disc for them to take away and these were typically 78RPM. Perhaps the
most
famous use of this service was this guy in Memphis who sang and
recorded a
couple of songs and sent them into Sun records and the rest is
history... >>

Didn't Elvis go IN to Sun
(technically, the Memphis Recording Service)
to cut two paid-for acetates,
ostensibly as a gift for his mother
(but really
coz he was just itchin'
to get disc-overed) ??
which
reminds me......
