My Heavy Metal double LP soundtrack has sides 1 and 4 on one record and 2 and 3 on the other. I think it's because of these stacking turntables.
I thought rule 38 was special...

Thank you for giving me an excuse to post THIS song in this thread.
And heck, since I'm at it, let me post THIS one too.
I remember watching all the "1999" era music videos on some channel and thinking that "Let's pretend we're married" was the weakest one, on account of it having the most dated sound but it has since grown on me.
You guys are good, and helped make my day.....Rule #380.

See, this is why have no need for most TV or movies. Plenty here satisfy the senses and the little grey cells.
Was it 5 or 6? I lost count.
I don't know and don't feel lucky enough to guess.
Got this one on my radar also, the V2 has the VTBass sound. Also a big plus: 2 channels and an fx loop.

Played an outdoor street fair kinda thing in Spearfish, SD last night. Forecast called for brief thunderstorms right around the time we were supposed to start. The promoter insisted the gig was gonna happen, so we set up thinking if it rains hard, we’ll just take a short break. It started raining hard right before we were to go on, so I bagged up the basses and put them in the equipment trailer. Just as I did that all heck broke loose! 40mph+ winds and sideways rain. The cymbals flew off of the kit and onto the pavement, the large mixing desk flew down the street! Total insanity. We threw tarps over our gear and hid behind them until the storm passed 30 minutes later. The crew and some volunteers jumped up and started mopping up the stage like this was a totally normal thing. The FOH guy brought out a backup mixer and we played a 2 hour show completely soaked from head to toe. One of the weirder gigs I’ve done in a long time! TBird still sounded awesome though 
I use a VT Deluxe for my DI instead of the one on my Ampeg tube head. I can't imagine playing someplace without it. The original Sansamp sounded awful IMO for my purposes, the VT is fantastic.
That is one of the crazier stories I've heard. Glad you all got to play, and more importantly are safe.Played an outdoor street fair kinda thing in Spearfish, SD last night.

But it makes for a good story! And glad your own gear didn't get ruined.Played an outdoor street fair kinda thing in Spearfish, SD last night.

Exactly. I offed my stacker In the 1990s for a programmable linear turntable. You couldn’t stack LPs on it, but you could play the songs on a given LP side in any order you wanted including skipping over songs you didn’t like. It also had a que out to the tape deck and CD recorder that controlled the record, pause and line levels so you could make a copy of the songs in that order on tape or CD automatically. Very handy. I don’t think they make stuff like that anymore.
Overall, probably one of my favorite Beatles albums.
