A basic and simple in-between video, passable in content, but it's no Lawrence of Arabia This is what I consider to be a Cheese Sandwich Video*.  It's not going to set the world on fire - but it might provide light entertainment for seven minutes and twenty seconds (no guarantees though).  

These simple videos are a fun way for me to try something out without spending days on it. The voiceover on projects like this are a bit rough and ready and shot from the hip - there are things I might do differently if this was going to be sent into space as an example of the pinnacle of mankind's excellence. However this is just a bit of fun, this is how I recharge between the more complicated projects that send my brain spinning. 

*For those who weren't in on this discussion a while back - I call videos that are just exactly what they are and nothing more - a Cheese Sandwich Video. Just like if you order a cheese sandwich you pretty much know what you're getting - that's how a Cheese Sandwich Video works. No history, no story, no song and dance - just a video about the thing in the video. 

UPDATE - 5th March 2019

As a result of the feedback received (and following the failure of something else I was working on) - I went back to this video and added in another six or so minutes of new ‘footage’ based upon your suggestions.  It‘s still not a classic - but I’ve had fun trying out a few new ideas.

Hi Mat, sorry for coming so late to the party but another great video. Vinyl and vinyl cleaning is my 'thing' as I collect and play a huge amount of vinyl. I have a Pristine Vinyl VIVAC suction record cleaner which is fantastic. I think the reason you found very little difference when you had cleaned the records is that you are hearing dirt that has now, unfortunately, become a permanent part of the record. When you play a record, the weight at that very tip of the stylus is relatively immense. Enough, in fact, to temporarily melt and soften the vinyl (it very quickly solidifies again). Any dirt that is in the groove can become melted into the vinyl and then a permanent part of the record which no amount of cleaning will shift. This is way a seemingly mint looking record can sound like frying bacon when played.

I was really just playing around with this - good to hear from someone who knows about this kind of thing. The video received a lot of very odd suggestions as the the cause, the silliest of which revolved around a supposition that the noise was static. That random element which on this occasion somehow produced the exact same crackles and pops at Exactly the same point on each play of the record.

Steve Rose had a great explanation of why you couldn't remove those cracks and pops, but maybe you could even remove those using the SAE 5000 Impulse Noise Reduction System? Completely analog pop and crackle remover. Aparently to demonstrate it the salesmen would put a razor on a new record, and show how the 5000 would completely remove the scratch. Only about $60 on eBay. I'd be interested in seeing a video on that, seems like a cool piece of kit.

I bought one a few months ago. It’s still in its box, but barring any problems it’s destined for a future review. I’ve been building up to it - doing the cleaning videos first.
