Summertime,

And the livin' is easy

Fish are jumpin'

And the cotton is high

 

Oh, Your daddy's rich

And your mamma's good lookin'

So hush little baby

Don't you cry

 

One of these mornings

You're going to rise up singing

Then you'll spread your wings

And you'll take to the sky

 

But until that morning

There's a'nothing can harm you

With your daddy and mammy standing by

 

Summertime,

And the livin' is easy

Fish are jumpin'

And the cotton is high

 

Your daddy's rich

And your mamma's good lookin'

So hush little baby

Don't you cry

this rumour goes around every year

 

pass the salt please

[Redruth]

Panasonic confirmed today what has been rumoured for a while, that they’re stopping production

on the iconic Technics 1200 turntable.

[YEK]

The Vestax PDX 2000s cut was deep

Panasonic confirmed today what has been rumoured for a while, that they’re stopping production

on the iconic Technics 1200 turntable.

again, this rumour goes round every year.

 

every year, Panasonic has "confirmed" it to various different people, yet never made a proper announcement themselves on their website (or indeed the Technics website).

 

funny that.

maybe they've proved this makes them more sales...

there will always be people that collect used vinyl. it will never die.

[o00o]

Ah this hoax again

[oscillik]

I agree about the cyclical rumors...this time feels more credible.

 

(7 points of reasons why)

 

basically, I believe the lagging interest excuse this time more than any other time.

how is this year any different from last year when the rumour was going round? or the year before it?

[pcock]

its not true, and while vinyl is getting far too expensive for many, the introduction of traktor pads has left technics as needed as ever.
