Someone asked about vinyl with two grooves (on one side, of course!!). I don't know how common it is, but Marillion's last album 'Brave' was released as a double vinyl LP with the final side existing as two grooves one with a ' happy' ending and one with an 'unhappy' ending (the album is a concept album, but I won't go into it here, unless anyone wants me to). This might not mean anything unless you have heard the album, but there you go. I have also heard of records that you start playing from the inside (i.e. the groove is the other way round). I think Megadeth did one of these. I can't think of any other examples of strange grooves at the moment. Hope this information interests you. Ed
