THE AMAZING ADVENTURES OF JOHNNY

Week 17


Description

The (Ever-So-Many) Amazing Adventures of Johnny is one of two "magic" albums offered this year.  See week 33 for the other, The Adventures of Bronco Bob.  Magic records are different from ordinary records in that each time you play a side you hear a new story!  How does it work?  Atlantic's "trick-grooving" process puts four record tracks on each side instead of the usual one.  When you play a side, you never know which of the four grooves will play.  Side 1 has four different beginnings and sides 2, 3 and 4 each have four different sequences.  Every sequence dovetails into the next so they combine coherently to form one complete story.  Since there are four possibilities on each side, the total number of different combinations is 4 x 4 x 4 x 4 = 256!
