Tuffrose Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 Hi there! My name is Rose, I'm a graphic design student, studying at University, and I'm beginning a project on Dansette Record players, with the outcome of a book and maybe a vinyl audiobook. I was wondering if you had any of you had any stories or memories about your dansette that you would wish, or didn't mind, sharing with me as part of the project. I would find it incredibly interesting to talk to anyone who has any memories or experiences with Dansettes. Hopefully hear from you soon, Thank you for your time. Best wishes, Tuffrose x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

denlin Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 No, because I didn't even know our uncle had a shop when I was 15 I started saving for a record player out of my spending money. Anyway after about 6 mths Dad felt sorry for me and put the rest to and bought me one. How come Grandma bought you one was you her favourite? Yes it was Uncle Paddy and don't think grandma had favourites as far as I can remember but I was only 16 when she died Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldhippy Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Did you have a Dansette Record Player when you was a teen in the 60's ? Did you buy 45rpm records of your favourite groups like: Billy J Kramer Dave Clarke Five The Hollies The animals The kinks to name just a few. Yes ,I had a grey and red one.Played all my Beatles records on it , plus Bob Dylan. Remember one of the hinges came off the lid and the lid scratched my new Rubber Soul album ! I was so upset. Speaking of Beatles, I saw them at the Odeon ( think it was back then) in Sheffield -Wow.......what a memory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
