Do you need a linear tracking pick-up arm to play that one?????

I that will require a pentagonal turntable!


:eek: What the hell?

May I recommend music by the Circle ("Red Rubber Ball")?

Not that they're particularly good but I think you'll have better luck with their album. :D

Pentagonal turntables, albums by the Circle and linear tracking arms ... very good...(although I think Gary's question is serious). The first thing that occured to me was that the points are actually outside of the 12 inch diameter.
What worries me is how abruptly the change of angle will affect tracking. But, hey, who cares - even if it doesn't play its a must have!

I supect that it will not play and if it does I owe you lots of pint's.


I bet the other side has a round grooved version on it.

I bet the other side has a round grooved version on it.Now there's a challenge! Unfortunately I haven't seen any information on it and I was too busy to ask the seller any questions at the time. Now I'm wondering.

Not a lot of playwear!

Didn't Sansui have a "Quintophonic" sound system in the 70s? :cool:

Thats almost as odd as the "Ghost in a Jar" and the "Butt Capsule".

Well, that's thinking outside the box . . . or is it outside the circle?;)

This will make you smile.
The vinyl is in mint condition.
I have played both sides and they track perfectly.

Only one small issue: The pic is of the album sleeve, the record is as round as a very round thing! :D :D :D

"You're so square, baby I don't care...."

Nice one.:D

BTW, has anyone seen any novelty Hole albums?
