Sweatshirt – 45 RPM

NEW – Heavyweight sweatshirt

Apparently, in the early days, DJ’s in Jamaica would need to turn records over quickly, attempting to keep the tempo and the party going. However, the size of the centre hole made this awkward and time consuming, especially in low light. They decided to punch out a larger hole in the 45s and add a spindle to the turntable, so that the record, with minimum interruption, could easily be flipped over with one hand, whilst still holding the microphone in the other. The record labels eventually began to manufacture 7 inch singles without the centre piece and the RCA Corporation introduced the plastic snap-in Spider adaptor. There it is.
