Those are some great old songs. Great looking Garrard turntable. We had one like that when I was growing up. I also remember Just Another Day as the instrumentals were used on quite a few old movies and cartoons. I remember the old 78s. Played many on HiFi and a very old Victrola. I even saw the movie. I'm not old enough to have been around then when all these were new, but they live on.
