Here’s a disc from out of the ARC vaults, that somehow reflects the the times we live in or maybe a long forgotten past. Now we are not political, nor religious, but I can tell you one thing – THIS RECORD SMELLS!

Yes, one of the great ideas of all time – a needle that releases a pine freshener fragrance as it cuts into the groove along with a wimpy version of old saws.  A scratch-and-sniff on one side of the groove, music on the other.  Smelleo VS Stereo – that’s the Aroma Disc challenge.  We do believe the Holiday season needs some air-freshener now-and-then, and hope that many more record companies, in this age of 180 gram vinyl, take up this challenge and release a whole lot of new, fresh, smelly records.  Uh, that doesn’t sound right.  I mean geeze, this is a swell idea, and I hope you’re as happy as I am that the  ARC saves everything!

So PLEASE don’t forget us as we approach the end of the year giving season.  Join the ARC.  Make a donation.  Rents are up, collections are coming in at a staggering rate, and every penny counts as we do our best to save every record – including the smelly ones – ever made.   Thanks!
