March 1 / Lock Grooves
I've been writing about interesting vinyl
manufacturing anomolies for the past few days. Tuesday I covered Flexo
Records and flexidiscs, and yesterday I wrote about parallel grooves. Today's bit
is about 'Lock grooves:' grooves that feed back into themselves so that
they repeat indefinately. You should probably read all of these entries because I hear that's what the ladies are looking for these days: men with EXTENSIVE knowledge of obscure vinyl manufacturing practices.
~*~
Records with lockgrooves are cut like any other record until the beginning of the loop is reached. At this point, instead of spiraling inward, the radius of the groove becomes fixed, producing a perfectly circular loop that ends where it began.
The most familiar example of this amongst record collecter types is Lou Reed's infamous 'Metal Machine Music.' Recorded as a 'Fuck You' to Reed's record label, the album is often described as 'Unlistenable.' The AMG review sums up the sentiment nicely:
"One would be hard-pressed to name a major artist who ever released an album as thoroughly alienating as Lou Reed's Metal Machine Music."
The the end of side four is a lock groove that extends the cacaphony to a length only limited by the listener. Reed himself has said of the album: "Well, anyone who gets to side four is dumber than I am." ~*~
Given the Monty Python troupe's previous
history with clever vinyl mastering, it should come as no surprise that
they've already covered this territory:
"...on another Monty Python record, the Pirannha Bros.
sketch at the end of one side finished with a lockgroove of
"Sorry
squire, I scratched the record I scratched the record I
scratched the record... ad infinitum (or the next power cut). Hours of
fun."
The album in question appears to be 'Another Monty Python Record,' but I haven't yet confirmed this.
~*~
A few 'serious' artists have used a final lockgroove to include jokes, and in the case of English band Heaven 17, a perpetual pun. The final track on their 'Penthouse & Pavement' album - 'We're Going
to Live for a Very Long Time' - builds to a never-ending groove repeating the phrase 'For a very long time.' The James Gang's "Yer Album" features messages in the lockgrooves that end each side. At the end of side one, the lockgroove repeats "turn me over, turn me over, turn
me over..."; and on side two it plays "play me again, play me again, play me
again...".
  ~*~
Other artists have used the repetition of a lockgroove loop to exaggerate the duration of certain sounds. At the end of side two of Abba's 'Super Trouper,' after the final song - "Like Old Friends Do" - the audience's applause continues into a locked groove (From a NG posting on the topic: "Wow, must have been a
great performance, they're giving them a neverending standing ovation..."). Side two of Pink Floyd's 'Atom Heart Mother' ends with 'Alan's Psychedelic
Breakfast,' and the dripping tap continues until you lift the needle.
  ~*~
Of note to crazy record collector types is
"Loop," a flexidisc by the Velvet Underground which was included in the December 1966 issue of Aspen Magazine (Edited by Andy Warhol). Details, from a VU discography site:
"Loop is the B-side. The label says "Guitar and feedback", "First half of a 15-minute recording made with two monaural tape recorders" and "Final groove purposely left open". The credits went to John Cale who is supposedly the only person playing on Loop. The flexi has a closed-groove ending so the last groove repeats itself ad infinitum."
~*~
Moving beyond the novelty of the loop, some artists have creatively used lockgrooves to hide extra tracks, creating a 'false ending' to the record before the hidden track's grooves. The listener could hear the 'hidden' music only by manually placing the needle beyond the lock groove. This technique was used on the Pale Saints' "Half-Life" 12," which had a lock-groove after the second song on the second side, 'hiding' an unlisted third song; and in similar fashion on the split 12" by Nurse With Wound / Sol Invictus / Current 93. The 1968 Moby Grape album 'WOW' has a lockgroove that seperates the song "Just Like Gene Autry: A Foxtrot," which unlike the rest of the album, is mastered at 78 RPM. The track is also said to be 'mixed to sound like an old 78.'
 ~*~
My interest in lockgrooves has led me to do
something I NEVER would have guessed I'd ever do: I got into an eBay
bidding war over a Lee Ranaldo record. Ranaldo's 1987 SST release
'From Here to Infinity' consists entirely of songs that end in lock grooves. Each song builds to a perpetual 2-second loop which continues until you get up and advance to the next track manually. In the middle of one side is an etching of a flaming
serpent chasing its tail around the record. Apparently SST also released this on CD, which seems to defeat the purpose. At any rate, I lost the auction, so if a vinyl copy pops up on eBay again anytime soon you're not allowed to bid against me, I hereby decree.
  ~*~
A legend amongst lockgroove enthusiasts is Boyd Rice, an avant garde electronic experimentalist who is "notable for being one of the first avant-garde rock artists to use turntables in his work," according to his AMG bio. He records under the name 'Non,' and his most influential work appears to be 1978's 'Pagan Muzak.' Mute Records reissued 'Pagan Music' at some point, and they've got a great article on the album here:
"Pagan Muzak is a 7" vinyl long playing record housed in a 12" sleeve. It consists of 17 locked/looped grooves, each of them containing a different noise. A second axis hole drilled off-centre doubles the number of tracks; and as it can be played back at up to four speeds - 16, 33, 45 or 78rpm - working out just how many tracks Pagan Muzak effectively offers the listener involves complicated calculations of all the different playback combinations of axis choice, turntable speeds and the grooves themselves. The mind boggles, yet when it was sold as a long playing record, some buyers thought they'd been short-changed by at least five inches. Boyd recalls, "Because it came out as a 7" record in an album sleeve, people used to go,[in a whining voice] 'It says LP on here. . .' 'Well,' I said, 'LP means long player, and this is the longest player you are ever going to find'."
"Between the record's peculiar format and the noises contained in its locked grooves, Pagan Muzak clearly anticipated the sound and shape of many music practices to come. Rice's radicalisation of vinyl reversed the listener's usual passive relationship with the record as a sound carrier. To listen to it meant first of all making 'musical' choices regarding pitch and tempo, dependent on playback axis and turntable speed. In this sense, putting on Pagan Muzak was a kind of rehearsal of a near future, when DJs and turntablists would play records as a musical instrument."
...
"Getting the idea was the relatively easy part. Getting the record manufactured presented a formidable logistical challenge. Boyd continues, "Well, because they always lock off a groove at the end of a record, it seemed reasonable to me that they would be able to do it at any mastering plant. But everyone I spoke to said, 'No, you can't do this, it's impossible, the technology doesn't exist'. Then these people in Virginia said, 'Oh yeah, we should be able to do that, I don't see why not'. But a couple of months later the tapes came back with a letter saying it is not possible. Finally I went to this mastering plant in LA, and talked to its president, and he said, 'Well, yeah, I think we could do that'. He kind of took it on as a personal challenge and did it himself. . . Always go to the top!"
Rice has also released the 'Rangnock Rune' 12", with four locked groves
and and etching on orange/reddish vinyl. Other career highlights include 1984's 'Easy Listening for the Hard of Hearing,' an album of percussion sounds produced by everyday objects. Mute maintains a fairly comprehensive Non page with a discography. It's worth noting that a history of questionable politics has marred his reputation. The AMG bio touches on some of these unflattering associations:
"His career moved towards a bizarre mix of a cocktail lounge sounds, avant garde noise, and misanthropic folk music as it went along, bringing him a mild cult audience. But anti-Jewish and anti-Christian statements that sprung from his association with a cult and his friendship with Charlie Manson did severe damage to any momentum his career could have had and left him fairly obscure by the mid-90's."
There are several newsgroup threads discussing his various ambiguous political connections. Most of the information is pretty vague, but there are threads here, here, and here.
~*~
The taj mahals of lockgroove ridiculousness are the RRR 100 and RRR 500 compilations, a 7" and 12" consisting of nothing but lock grooves by various artists. RRR 100 was released first and contains, as the title suggests, 100 lock grooves - 50 to a side. The RRR 500 LP features a ridiculous 250 lock grooves per side, each running 1 to 2 seconds. A good thread on the staggering impracticality of the LP is here:
Sean Casey: "quick question about these locked groove records:
i assume you have to pick up the needle to get to
the next groove, right? but with 500 people, how
do you tell one groove from the next? are the
grooves spaced out more than on a normal record?
"'Skincrime': "Let's see, we've got 33 1/3 RPM multiplied by 20 Minutes (say for an average LP
side, could be alot more, or less......) and we get 666 grooves, so, the
grooves are a SLIGHT bit further apart then on a Normal record......
As far as FINDING a particular groove that you want to listen to.......well,
have fun........."
Erik Hoffman: "I have a Technics 1200 turntable and it just so happens that when I lift
the stylus arm and then put it back down it advances one groove. Of
course if I wanted to listen to lock groove # 224 I would have to do
this 223 times!! This was not a problem with the 100 lock groove 7". I
can't imagine doing this witht the LP."
'Voice & Salt': "A nice side effect of the fact it's difficult to find a particular groove
is that they're anonymous -- oh well, I guess we'll just have to listen
(over and over and over again....)
"
A second pressing of RRR 500 is available here from forced exposure.
~*~
Blake Edwards, the man behind recording project Vertonen released a 7" called 'Lock Up' in the early 90's. The A-side consists of 15 lock grooves. Blake has posted the story of his experience getting the 7" pressed on his own, and it's an interesting read if you're into that end of music production / label business. There are few bits about the nature of manufacturing lock grooves within the epic tale:
"...when the lock groove locks, you usually get a click. However, some of the loops I recorded were single pitch loops, so when the groove locked there was a fuzzy pitch shift. Not heinous, but somewhat annoying nonetheless. There was nothing I could do about it anyway, since apparently that's just the nature of the beast of lock grooves."
Also: 'The Lock Grooves' is a good name for a funk band.

The Beatles' Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band was first issued with a lock groove. It played gibberish, similar to "Revoloution # 1" if I remember correctly. I have never seen or heard one on vinyl, but it was a track on a CD version issued a few years back. The record originally included a 20kHz tone Lennon put on the end of a song to irritate people's dogs. At the end of "A Day in the Life", I think. The vinyl copy I bought in about '75 didn't have either of those. |

I have the Lee Ranaldo LP, but my copy is the European pressing on Blast First. It's on clear vinyl, the labels with the song titles are on the wrong side (I know this because I have the SST CD version), and the etching will screw up your needle, so it's very important you place it in the right spot, or the needle goes backwards and runs over the etching. As I said, my copy is on clear vinyl, so not making the last groove and having the needle bump back over the etchings has happened a couple of times. On the Blast First compilation, "Nothing Short of Total War", after Lee's song, there's a locked groove of a French journalist saying "There's no fucking culture" over and over and over....
The CD version of "Here to Infinity" has liner notes by Lee saying something along the lines of because of the chance nature of locked grooves, he wasn't altogether happy with the finished product, so the CD isn't as unnecessary as you'd think. Plus you don't have to keep hetting up every couple of minutes to listen to it. |

My old band, Meridian 1520, released a 7-inch with a lockgroove at the end of the B-side. Recording the noises for the groove was some of the most fun I've had in a studio.
Incidentally, I'm pretty sure that there's a Boston-based psych-rock band called Lockgroove. |

Yeah, I'm not a vinyl expert, but isn't Sgt. Peppers the most obvious example of the lockgroove? Never could be any other way never could be any other way never could be any other way never could be any other way... |

Locked grooves are commonplace in the techno genre. With many artists producing whole 12inch records of locked grooves. Consisting of dance music percussion loops that DJ`s can use to amazing effect. |

Stereolab's 1993 album "Transient Random-Noise Bursts With Announcements" ends on a locked groove. The track title is "Lock-Groove Lullaby" (what a giveaway!) and the song fades to a never-ending loop of someone snoring. |

Lots of records have locked grooves. Especially a lot of turntablist battle records. Dirt style stuff normally has a single note or a series of tones or a looped beat - meaning you can use it to cut up your own bass line or melody etc etc...
One noteable one I know of is 'The Gorrillas' album (Damon Albarn, Dan the Automator?, can't remember who else) release a tune called Clint Eastwood. The remix that made it into the charts was an AWFUL uk garage style version made by a bunch of talentless eejits who had somehow managed to break into a studio and press some buttons(imho). The record label decided to release this to the radios and therefore it had to be on the album even though it was of an entirley different style to the rest of the album. But it was the last track on the album and was cut off from the rest of it by a lockgroove so you didn't accidentally play it thank god.(the rest of the album wasn't all that, but WAAY better than the released single). |

The UK PYE pressing of Muppet Show Volume 2 also has a locked groove at the end of side 2 - gave us hours of fun when we were little...
I believe The Music's LP also has a locked groove (or is it the Libertines - certainly ONE of the LPs I bought new last year did!).
My late 80s (digitally mastered - eeeuch!) vinyl copy of Sgt Pepper has the 15kHz tone and locked groove.... |

Steve from Inner City Unit here again, when we put the data track on the end of NewAnatomy we hid it behind a locked groove.. obviously we couldn't let it lie there so on our next album the last track ends with someone whistling as they walk off into an uncertain future, this is then locked into a groove so if you aren't paying attention the whistling goes on forever.. quite hypnotic it is too. Have you done anything about the messages scratched into the vynil between runout groves yet? "Porky" at "Porkies prime cuts" being the #1 UK practitioner. cheers, -Steve |

Just listened to "Another Monty Python Record" and can confirm that this is indeed the one with the Piranha Brothers sketch that ends with one of the brothers' heavies (Michael Palin) deliberately "scratching" the record to prevent the continuation of the story. Oddly it has a fake lock-groove effect to start with, before hitting the actual lock-groove. |
Jenny / Wednesday, May 5 / 3:38 PM

I'm surprised no one mentioned this here, but the Beatles' (in)famous Sgt. Pepper album has what could be considered a lock groove of nonsense sounds mixed up and repeated infinitely at the end of Side 2's "A Day in the Life". It's even mentioned in the liner notes to the CD reissue and is included at the end of the "A Day in the Life" track on the CD. |

The B-sides to the Damned's UK "Smash It Up" and Joan Jett's US "Fake Friends" singles each end with lock grooves on horrible noises. The former is a blaring siren, the latter a foul, out-of-tune electric guitar riff. I used to put one or the other on in the dorm at top volume and split before it got to the end...
Oh, and the Sgt. Pepper lock that's been mentioned over and over was never on any US pressing, and most if not all UK ones. |

There's also a looping track by Aram Saroyan ('Crickets') at the end of side two of '10+2=12: Text-Sound,' which is an LP of spoken-word performances. Details:
At the time of its release in early 1975, unpitched speech was not taken for granted as musical material by composers, nor was there a widespread movement of sound poetry in the U.S. This now-legendary anthology, therefore, was a novelty and for some an inspiring revelation. Long prized by collectors (it has been out-of-print since 1984), this album of sound art made of spoken words inspired a burst of related activity during the decade of its circulation. A younger generation of American composers and poets began to adopt speech music, pre-dating rap, poetry slams, or even the storied emergence of performance artist Laurie Anderson."

There's a cool lockgroove on the end of the album "Taste" by The Telescopes. The last song, "suicide", crashes to an end in loud white noise chaos (bliss) for about two minutes, then tails off into a series of quivering feedback squeals and loops. I was caught off-guard the first time I listened to it on a non-returning deck. I was recording it for my girlfriend on her parent's hi-fihi-fi and ended up recording about ten minutes of lockgroove on a c90 casette as a result. It was released in about 1990 on Creation Records. Or it might be 1989. Sadly I no longer have my vinyl copy. The burnt CD copy naturally just cuts out, which is frankly crap. As a rule, I tend to burn albums I've lost and refuse to buy a new copy...but if I could get a vinyl copy of THIS again I would, just for the lockgroove.
If you can bear it, I find the noise is actually quite soothing...perhaps I should get a life?... |
Eddie / Thursday, Jul 21 / 1:33 PM

In regard to the Aram Saroyan blurb you posted in the comments. Wherever you got that blurb is wrong, no? Plenty of people used plain voice prior to 1975. Steve Reich and William Burroughs both come to mind. Gil Scott-Heron made a career out of it.

On the Ringo Starr LP "Ringo the 4th (Atlantic)", I don't remember if it is side 1 or side 2, but one of them ends with the locked groove playing the sounds of a busy office (typewriters, phones ringing, converstations). The first time I ever played that I kept waiting for the thing to end and it never did! |

I've read that early versions of Coil's "How to Destroy Angels" came with several different B-sides depending on the pressing. One had a series of locked grooves, one had a spiral groove that immediately ran out, one had an uncut polished vinyl surface, and one had grooves that were too deep to be played. |

Another famous one not mentioned here (I did check) was The Who Sell Out. At the end of side 2, the track now known as "Track Records" on the CD reissue ran off into the runoff groove. The lyrics were simply the title of the song, spoken in a sing-songy style, then fingersnaps. However, US Decca decided that it wouldn't do for them to be advertising a UK record company in the run-off grooves of their albums, and found a way to distort the lyrics. The end result was a ghastly "hah ha-hah. Snap!" over and over. I discovered this when I was 8 years old, and (unfortunately) decided to take action. I scratched it out with a paperclip. D'OH! I'm glad that it was only a reissued copy on MCA, not an original. |

I think also that Monty Python's Matching Tie and Handkerchief LP, while not equipped with lock groove, has two grooves in side two that spiral in tandem. Depending on where you place the needle, you hear one of two different side twos. |

Well, I'm the one that mastered the RRR-100 and RRR-500. The RRR-100 was done as a collaboration between Aardvark and RRR records. I cut the master at no charge because I wanted to see if it could be done, and RRR had the source material. In about 1996, Ingram Record Plating closed their doors, and the mother plates for the RRR-100 were sent to United, where they were scrapped with about 500 other sets of mothers. RRR needed a re-press. When I explained that the mothers were lost, we decided to go for 500 locks on a 12". Again, you can't pay me enough to do this, so it was done for the base price of mastering. It took two solid days of cutting, and I think I had a nervous breakdown, untreated of course. The cutting was completed June 15, 1998. Since it's been almost 10 years, I'm planning to contact RRR about a 1000 locked groove record. I could use a long rest at the nut house.... |

I got a 1990s reissue of "Pagan Muzak" and had to drill a few off-center holes. There was a cassette version on the Extreme label -- they played loops at different speeds for awhile. The other side had a Non concert recording on it. Boyd also has put out a few other lock groove records -- the Knife Ladder 7" that was reissued as half of the Non/Smegma 7", and more recently as the B side to "Receive the Flame" 7"
Flin Flon's first album (vinyl version), "A-OK", had each track end with a silent locked groove -- no repeating sound loop, but you had to pick up the needle to hear the next song.
Peter Gabriel's second solo album, side 1, ends with a locked groove, though technically the groove is in the center, so i think the idea is the stylus will pick up before the sound ends; if the automatic pickup mechanism is disengaged then you get a locked groove effect.
SPK's _Leichenschrei_ also ends with a locked groove.
Crawling with Tarts put out a single where one side had partial, c-shaped grooves.

If you have a first pressing of George Harison's "Concert For Bangla Dash" - listen carefully after the song "Bangla Dash". As the needle enters the spiral you hear a lock groove "hidden message" by George - recorded forward and backward on top of one another. Very strange and odd. Still can't figure out what he's saying.
My favorite is the original release of "We're Only In It For The Money" by The Mothers Of Invention" (1967). At the end of the album we're treated to a "backwards message" by Frank Zappa. When spun backwards the message is "Anyone who plays a record backwards is an asshole" - Zappa was great.
