The German machines were better. Two decades later, while all my friends were getting Garrards, I started my LP system with a Dual 1009. Dual had a thing going with Shure Bros, where my father was an engineer. The American V-Disks were shipped in packages, each containing twenty records and one hundred spare needles.

There is a terrific book about how the phonograph changed American culture (profoundly). Recorded Music In American Life: The phonograph and popular memory, 1890-1945. Auth. William Howland Kenny.

I don't know the background of the larger image, but the DJ looks more Free French than GI.
