I don't think anybody thought that many of the bigger '60s and '70s albums would remain so popular that you can still walk past a college dormitory and occasionally hear them blaring out of an open window. That is, without all the peculiar smelling smoke that wafted out when they were new releases. I'm not sure where that smoke came from, but it may have had something to do with the heat of friction of a needle on fresh vinyl.

Sorry ... there was way more smoke around the Beatles and Rolling Stones, than anything else in my experience, and I was in Madison, WI and Santa Barbara next to LA!
At least, in those days, the "smoke" was not so full of chemicals like it is today!
