RCA Dynaflex: vinyl that bends

Dynaflex bends like the notes of the Hawaiian guitar. RCA claimed many advantages of pressing a thinner LP when they introduced the process in late 1969, touting it as "the record of tomorrow," but it was really just a way to make cheaper records using less vinyl, especially on their "Camden" budget label. Critics derided the flip-floppy LPs, citing high surface noise and a tendency of the record to warp under the weight of its own sleeve and shrinkwrap. The discs were also not suitable for use on portable record players with a smaller than LP-sized platter. RCA eventually ended production of Dynaflex LPs around 1980. For this video I used a very basic Optimus LAB-1000 turntable with its built-in pre-amp, equipped with an Audio Technica P-mount cartridge and elliptical stylus.
