This huge old leisure center pool had lay forgotten for many years. The glass panels in the roof are almost all gone, laying smashed on the floor. Nature has completely overgrown this place, entering from all sides and creeping around the tiled poolside.

Lots of people talk and worry about vinyl records wearing out, but finally here is a controlled, long-term experiment to test how much audible wear actually happens to records played in real-world conditions on a variety of turntables. I highly suggest a quiet listening environment and good pair of speakers or headphones to observe the results.

However, the main takeaway from this test is something that experts have already known for the past 75 years: dust, dirt, scratches, fingerprints, improper storage, and a worn stylus are the real enemies of vinyl record life, not the kind of turntable you use. Do your best to avoid those perils, and your records will provide a lifetime of enjoyment, even when played on inexpensive equipment.

FYI: The records I tested are slightly transparent when held up to a bright light, indicating they were made with a vinyl formulation which used dye instead of carbon black; these records (marketed under various names such as "Super Vinyl", "Quiex", "UHQR", etc.) are known for their very low surface noise and anti-static properties, but sources differ on whether they last longer or actually wear out more quickly than conventional vinyl.

Unedited video of playing a portion of the record on the Quasar 50 more times, for a total of 100 plays at the end of the test: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qee4wp9Swto

Lossless recordings of all four records used in the test (both the entire album side played with the Stanton 681EEE cartridge, and the brief samples I played using the Shure M75): https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1UscEjplMoS6l-Rw3RAnWlDdOY06-GhID

Time flow:

p.s. I found the obituary for the father of the group, which says the Marcus Family Singers were formed in 1974 and were active for seven years, and recorded two albums: https://www.petersonbrothers.com/obituaries/calvin-marcus

Also I looked up the songs on the album in the copyright database and several of them were written in 1980, so the album is probably from 1980 or 1981.
