Playing a John Lee Hooker album (That's Where It's At) that I think I bought in 1969. It has a lot of miles on it, along with more than a few clicks as it plays. Regardless, it still plays well, regardless of having been played on some really cheap 'pottery wheels' over the years, including this one. I can only guess these old LPs used some top grade materials. This album was produced by Stax Records.

Great record!! I seem to remember they really started to get thin and cheezy in the mid 70's. Most came all warped right out of the sleeve

I was fortunate to see JLH play 2 nights in a row at a college bar in my hometown of Charleston WV in 1962. Place was packed. Kenny, the promoter and fellow student, had done a good job 'promoting' the venue. Small bar. JLH had no accompaniment, just sat on a folding chair, and kept the beat with his foot. We all sat on the floor surrounding him. I had not heard of him at the time, but became a fan immediately.

Yeah , the older records were thicker . Read somewhere years ago that the recording companies decreased thickness as a cost saving measure .
