Throwback Thursday - 45's with stacker

Do you remember 45 RPM records?  And '45 stackers, like the one pictured here?  We used these on my little record player as we roller skated in the basement.  I remember the sound of the record dropping, the record player arm moving.  I haven't played vinyl in years (alas, I know - my loss!), but this sound was such a part of my childhood.  

Did you grow up with 45's?  I'd love to hear your memories in the comments, below.

When image consultant Allison Campbell attends an award ceremony to honor a designer friend, she’s thrust into a murder investigation. Only this time, it’s personal.

A former boyfriend is dead, slain on the streets of Philadelphia. His widow claims he was meeting with Allison, yet Allison hadn’t spoken to him in years. Nothing about his death—or life—makes sense. When compromising photos from their past arrive at Allison’s office, they raise more questions than they answer.

Driven to find justice, Allison deconstructs the image her ex had created for himself, looking for clues about the man he’d become. As her hunt for the truth unveils secrets, Allison’s past and present collide—with deadly results.
