Close 'N Play!


After my post about Ol' Fatso by Augie Rios a commenter wrote: Don't know how, but I had the 45 of this in my "Close & Play" when I was a child.

I didn't know how, either, mainly because I'd never heard of a Close & Play, which turns out to be a record player for kids: CLOSE 'N PLAY AUTOMATIC PHONOGRAPH - CLOSE LID... RECORD PLAYS.

That would've been an exceptionally groovy present for a kid in the 60s or 70s.

om...er...it was an exceptional gift for a kid! It was THE BOMB as the Y generation would like to think. NOT an IPod, NOT a walkman, NOT as portable as ANY of those things...
