I wonder how long it will take for silent videos on YouTube to be taken down for triggering a copyright “content match”?

No, he would be livid that they performed his legendary piece at too quick a tempo (4.55 times too fast, to be exact) , and without crediting him!

I expect a major part of the appeal of vinyl records is that they tend to come in attractive packaging and often use novelty visual patterns. And this has neither. Hm.

One minute of silence and one minute of crackling sounds from the vinyl itself…
