Imagine this: it’s 1967. You and your husband arrive at your friends’ house for a dinner party. But before dinner, they pull out a tripod and expand a screen on it, plug in a film projector, and excitedly tell you that they can’t wait to show you highlights of their vacation to Topeka. And just to spice things up, they also provide a professional soundtrack to really enhance the sensation of actually being there. Episode 6 of My Weird Record Collection discusses that memorable soundtrack.
