Making Vinyl Records With Duke Ellington

"Duke Ellington stars in this fascinating short promotional film that explains the tricky and complex process by which the legendary jazz pianist and band leader made records back in the 1930s."

This is some pretty amazing stuff. The ingenious systems of analog sound repoduction have intrigued me since I was a child.

On one hand it's a damn shame vinyl is dying but on the other it's almost astonishing how long it has endured.
