EPISODE 26.5: VHS VAULT VOL. 1 (AMVEST VIDEO) (COMMENTARY)
Premiered June 27th, 2013 on Blip.
Recorded before the original episode premiered. Since then, we've learned that:
1. Audiofidelity Records started in the mid/late 1950's and issued some of the first stereo records.
2. Someone at Audiofidelity went berserk sometime in the '70's and started issuing pirated Beatles albums.
3. Those that signed up for the Kid Pics newsletter wound up on mailing lists for sleazy child beauty pageants (are there any other kind?).
Ben has since learned that:
1. Playing a record at 75% of it's original speed is equivalent to flattening the "key" by a fourth, not a flat-fifth.
2. Audio frequencies are exponential.
2. Ben cannot do math in his head.
