- The video portion is separate from the audio and is purely for aesthetics. Also the stylus used for archiving these recordings is a .7mil not a 1mil so the records are not harmed during playback even though the grooves of these records are .5mil in diameter .7 should be an acceptable size for playback so that all of the frequencies of the recordings will be picked up during playback. Hope you enjoy the video. and check out my other channel EverythingRetro1. Also the record player used in this video has a .7 mil diamond stylus tracking at an acceptable tracking force, so the record is not being harmed :)

I used to hate this music while stuck in an elevator and now when I am stuck in an elevator nothing plays. This would be a welcome return.
How frequently do you get stuck in elevators and how do I achieve this power

Best music to listen to while driving to prevent road rage.

Ah! Perfect! i was just thinking I wonder if Walmart at Christmas would be a little less violent with this playing instead of the bs we have to listen to today..

About two minutes into playing this, my 1972 bell system telephone rang on the landline in the other room. Kind of took me back to the 80's again LOL.
Cool! A momentary time travel. Your lucky 👍🏻
I have a whole collection of those phones, and no land line unfortunately. I think I'll look into it, considering the way things are going.
we have 3 of these in our home with over 400 records
@@russweber3847Do you still listen to any of the records?
@@russweber3847 Wow ! Seeburg used to insist that all records were returned to them for disposal after they'd been played. Your collection is worth a fortune. They're very rare, but I managed to track one down - it cost me £30 plus shipping to the UK.
Mom would sometimes run into a friend at the mall "Say Madge what are you bringing to the church pot luck next week?", "Oh I think I'll just roll out my famous tuna casserole, it's always a crowd pleaser."
Shiny linoleum floors give way to short carpet and a sea of round clothing racks. Sitting on the shiny silver X in these racks and secretly watching strangers look at polyester 70's clothes. Silently wishing the music was more cool... yet I'm here now nostalgically
Thanks TH-cam algorithm. I didn't know I liked vintage elevator music until just now, 4 years after the original post.
Letting this play as I cut coupons and drink coffee. Now this is how to spend a weekend!
Hiding in clothes racks for fun while waiting for mom to finish shopping. Getting shocked by the metal clothes racks🙄

What the hell were we hiding from ?!
This is great, reminds me of the 70s going to the department stores with my mom on the weekend or Kmart. Even some of the grocery store played this music.
This is very similar to what I heard in Krogers in the early 80s too.
Safeway
Me three! Kmart in the 1970s Fresno, CA where they had those big submarine sandwiches with the salty American white cheese, too much lettuce, crusty bread that was soft on the inside, oodles of condiments and gooey tomatoes. My 4 y.o. younger bro & I sat in back of the 1971 LTD while our folks smoked cigs up front as they ate quicker than us 2 boys...and no, we didn't get to smoke.
Sounds alike to what you used to hear on BBC1 and BBC2 with the test card.
that's the idea!
If my life had a soundtrack.....this would be it!!
This is fantastic! What kind of lunatic would click on a video labelled Elevator Music and then give this a thumbs down? Big thumbs up!
Everyone refers to this as "elevator music". This was actually "mood music", programmed for different locations {stores, hotels, restaurants, factories, et. al.] in different "packages". It could relax you or stimulate you, according to the kind (and tempo) of music featured. These discs, issued in the 1970's, were obviously programmed for "light shopping" or "late shift factory" mode.
The results are surprisingly effective. A long while back I wouldn't be caught dead listening to this music, not by a long shot.
I've been stressing recently with my programming. The genre I've been listening to just adds to the tension.
Well - I figured for the kicks I'd give this one a go.
Here I am, listening to waves of playlists.
Setting the perfect mood and immersion that I need to have for focus.
I have read that there's also a an entire set of three different quote unquote Library Itthat Go for restaurants and hotel lobbies and other places where you needed slower tempos or sometimes even faster tempos
Agreed it does relax , love it good driving music
You better believe it was relaxing. I'd marry this music - but, she has far too many lovers of her sound. Like me 😊
I like it
Better music than today x 1000 times!!!!
They always call it "Elevator Music". I've heard this music everywhere, in supermarkets, train depots, doctor's offices, airports, etc. But I've never heard music in an elevator. And I've ridden plenty of elevators, being a long time law firm messenger in NYC. It seems I've spent half my life in elevators. I've been in the elevators of every major (and most minor) office buildings in New York. Still, I've never heard music in an elevator.
MUZAK, the company always associated with "elevator music" never supplied music to elevators. Nor did Seeburg for that matter.
In my whole life, I’ve only ridden in one elevator that had music. It was a tiny suburban mall in Sydney Australia that only had 3 floors. The elevator was fancier than the mall, with glass walls and carpet. That was in the 80s
I stayed in a Disney hotel in paris, and they piped music into all public areas including the lifts.
This is easy listening music. We used to have radio stations that played this music. I like to hear music with lyrics too. Not just instrumental.
I recall hearing elevator music in the 60s and 70s
shopping at "Sears" on a Saturday afternoon...Or grocery shopping for Minute Maid canned orange juice, Swanson T.V. dinners and Jiffy Pop Popcorn.
Don't forget the Brach's candies!!!
@@seandaugherty9171 Pick-a-Mix Oh yeahhhh
@@seandaugherty9171 Absolutely! Chocolate Stars were always my choice. Memories...
@@seandaugherty9171 Brach's -- YEAH! [:-D] I remember the J.C.Penney outlet store having tons of those at the checkout counters.
I remember back when SEARS sold popcorn & you could smell it all around the store....while this music played -- ha ha. [:-)]
The flutes and chimes are so damn 70's....
As a bass player, I always loved this stuff, as the tick tack bass was usually up high in the mix. Great music from a bygone era….
Most of the music from the 70s is very calm and soft.
Much like the 50s after the crazy 40s.
The 70s after the radical 60s
Paperback Writer calm and soft... like Led Zeppelin
thus contributing to the counter culture of the time. Teens felt mentally abused [i'm sure].
Simply not true, eg. hard rock and metal was huge during this time. Also look at disco. There will always be calm and energetic music at any given time
@@allurared9029 i said most, not all. In addition, if you listen to today's music, you will find a lot of energetic tracks (commercial music, not indie or unpopular albums).
as a teenager washing dishes/pots in an empty hotel kitchen at 3AM with the muzak speakers playing right above me ....everyone has left and I'm going as fast as I can to get out of this stainless steel jungle.....
Lol.... You're not alone.
Lol... they had the musak on just for you at 3am! 🤣
That’s what we did as teenagers in the seventies and eighties WORKED JOBS WE HATED TO SURVIVE .
@@JimJones-gd2jy A lot of us did the same as 90's teens working after school/summer jobs if wanted money. I busted my butt doing just about anything you could think of at a local family owned gas station/delhi/liquor store/video poker palace as my first job for over 2 years making minimum wage, and I'm thankful for it, as it helped built the strong work ethic I have today in my 40's.
These days with my sister's kids in their teenage, and college years not a single one work a real job, or even have their driver's license 🤦♂️
BTW I love this old SeeBurg music, as it reminds me of going to KMart with my grandparents in the very early 80's when I was just a wee little thing, and hearing the lady over the loudspeaker yell out where the next blue light special would be, and the all the old ladies running too it with their carts. 😅
@@CommodoreFan64 I did that! I was required to have a job in order to get my dad's old 80s Buick. I worked at Arby's and basically only had money enough to pay for gas and the insurance for the car... That would take me to work & school. But it was worth it! Ironically, my favorite station to listen to while closing was the 70s station. It never gets old for me. 👍
It's the 70s, I am a child in the back seat of the car (no child seats then) and
we are going to town. Traffic isn't bad and there's nice music playing over the
radio! Thanks for posting!
I don't recall muzak ever being played on the radio back then.
@@sudaev My parents like the softer radio station that played a lot of instrumental music… the sound of this reminds me of those car rides.
@@sudaev The early FM stations were experimental in the 60s. the FM band was pretty much empty except for classical and background music like this. I remember my parent playing this kind of music on the FM radio. Later in the late 60s "underground music" stations started playing new obscure rock bands, sometimes whole albums. By the mid 70s FM was filling up all across the band with all the ads as well.
My grandma listened to this on the radio while doing housework in the 70s/ early 80s. She was the same age as I am now
Such excellent music at every needle drop, a shame most people nowadays don’t know what good music is, the stop is tops with me!
Dancing in the aisles, hitting on the change room attendant or spending an afternoon walking between floors accompanied by the soothing medicated music.
This is pure ear gold 💛💰✨🌟
This was the music you used to hear being played on your cable tv information board channel in the 70's.
Mom’s had her morning Valium. She’s going up in the elevator to get the kids braces adjusted.
hahaha
😂👍
Just in time 😅
Valium = "Mother's Little Helper"
She's all set to rack up the Macys account.
Can't believe this music makes me feel till feel so safe and secure like when I was riding in mom's basket looking at all the things a happy housewife would need to see at the department store 1973 luxury mirages without my feet ever touching the floor . what a future somebody stole and is now ,completely gone forever , it's not like I didn't waste later my youth or was actually an idiot or a killer or anything. Or an elitist ever. Jesus christ!- G fah
Yes, sitting in the toddler's seat on the shopping cart was fun.
This music was not meant to ever be ''listened'' to. It was almost subliminal in nature.
Which probably explains why it has 'triggered' the memory of my youth!
At my desk at work jamming out to this :)
Dude. This music - and your setup - is baller. Everything's perfect. You've even got a modded 2-XL!!!
This music drop kicks me through the goalpost of early childhood memories of the late 1960’s / early 1970’s in the toy isle at Alpha Beta Grocery Store while Mom shopped this style of music would play in the background overhead store speakers 🎶
I hear ya... :) My memories were of Gemco and the "dime" store..toy aisle in the model section or later, looking for MAD magazine. :)
I could listen to this stuff for days! Brings back pleasant memories of dept stores......Great sleep aid too
a nice morning grocery shopping at Pathmark, then over to Erol's video to pick up a VHS before grabbing a happy meal for lunch. Ohhh... those were the days.
😂
The sounds frequently referred to as elevator music are, at least officially, no more; over five years ago the company folded in a deal with its new owner, Mood Music. Muzak often amounted to the sonic equivalent of a Pan-Am smile, inspiring the listener to a bland, blinkered contentedness. In part, its reputation has obscured much of what made the company viable, and the extent to which its style fed others in its wake.
But this is not MUZAK. This is MUZAK’s main competitor. By the way, I’m pretty sure that "traditional" background music still exists in Japan.
22:06 LOVE IT!
The best one, indeed!!!
I know that one from a 1977 Basic record.
Drum fills make me cm:)
I use to listen to this music on WPAT, a New Jersey station back in the 60s. This easy listening or elevator music , hard to find any stations playing this music anymore.
All this is Really Great"please "Bring Back The Cars with TAIL FINS"
If you have Sirius XM radio you can hear stuff close to this on the Escape channel🙂
There is a station on Pandora like this as well.
There is a sub-genre of Vaporwave music called Mallsoft. It's a modern take on elevator music/Muzak.
The mystery of 16 RPM is solved at last! Since I've viewed all these videos since January 2020 I've been & still entertained with these fabulous memories in music. It's taught me so much I am so sad about that forgotten/overlooked records & speed. I used to make fun in music class back in High school 16, 33, 45, 78 sounds like football! 😁. I treasure this nostalgia when I view. it's a continuous joy, & I thank you..
That is a Rheem Califone 1430A With a new stereo cartridge and a custom paint job :)
Fardemark My elementary school used those back in the 1970’s. I find it funny that Rheem also made or makes HVAC equipment and water heaters.
@@stvitalkid7981 Rheem also marketed Akai tape recorders under the Rheem-Roberts trade name.
Thanks Farde for getting us informed about the player.
I want my 70s back.... WaaAAA, sniffle, sniff.
16:46 such a good tune to start my day with
What is the name of the song at 16:46?
Reminds me of driving through L.A. with Dad and listening to K-BIG and K-JOY. Also, Super Markets and Dept. stores. Thanks for the great memories!
Your Welcome : )
Músic of peace .
I can watch the disk spins all day
Wow - Rheem Caliphone Record players - I sure remember those going back to Elementary school Years back in the 70s up here in Canada
it's interesting that everyone seems to be saying the same thing. listening to this music triggers pleasant memories. maybe something subliminal.
the first song kind of reminds me of the theme song to the old Ted Knight sitcom "too close for comfort"
there is a nostalgia element that just can t be denied here... takes me back to happier times, as many here have said. Plus now that im really listening to it, it sounds pretty good. This is coming from a trained musician ... anyway thank you!
I like working and listening, calming, and fond memories of my youth!
KEEP DOING WHAT YOU DO MATE YOURE A JOY AND A STAR
Thanks for coming back❤
Fabulous playlist! In the mid-1980s I worked with a girl whose father was an exec at Muzak. That was a long time ago so don’t threaten me if my facts are not spot on - we only talked about it once. I’m pretty sure I was the only person she knew her age who was interested in Muzak.
What I recall is that there were three tiers or levels of music a company could purchase. The top tier was stuff taken from real hits, etc. it was the most expensive. The middle tier not so much, and the bottom tier was the real mediocre stuff.
This is what I recall of the conversation and if it was even half right, the tracks on this recording are definitely top tier stuff.
The song at 36 is called alone again naturally. James Last also did an elevator version of this song which is worth hearing
Love that song
Beautiful 40 mins in is a stunner.
love to play it in over the car radio when driving to work. Makes me feel good and able to dill the the Ceo
This is so great! Perfect for work :)
Best memories of music, the good old days. The images on this video are not a good match for this music, but the music is perfect.
There was an organ store at our mall (Lowrey Organs maybe?) The guy would push an organ just out into the atrium to show off and attract customers. If you were standing there on Friday night with your hands in your pockets watching this guy, you were losing in the 70's.
This just upped my ability to study by like a million! Thank you X infinity.
So cool thank you so much for posting!
I have a Califone record player which includes 16 RPM....works flawlessly and I have been using it for decades. The sound quality is marvelous. I only had to change the needle twice and I found a replacement needle online.
I remember there was a period of time that trying to find replacement needles was quite the chore! I never did understand the love of taped music, especially 8 tracks over records- the sound was no where near as good, at least at first. I was glad when people in general began to appreciate records & players again.
Love love love ❤❤❤ this kinda music..so relaxing and chilling..really gets my motivation going 😊 🙏🙏

40:47 , 51:40 i cant stop listening to this one :p
I checked it out as you stated, it’s an interesting piece. I’m now listening to it repeatedly too :)
A edited version would have been a great intro song for a 1960’s variety show with names of guest celebrities being announced during the music.
All i can imagine when i hear it as a bored employee at a cigarette packing plant in the 1970's , having to hear this every day over n over.
(Variety shows sounds like an interesting idea too )

Ohh I envy your record. I would love to have that. 16 RPM really is awesome and to be honest the sound quality is just as good as 33 rpm.
I like your Instamatic in the background.

Love the robot. I had one also as a child.
The job you have done on this and all your videos is incredible. Do you own a Seeburg machne, or did you modify an existing turntable at 16 RPM? I have some 3D printed adapters on the way and going to try out my Seeburg record on my Califone that runs at 16 RPM when I can.
This is so nostalgic yet at the same time, I can't ever remember a time when I was in an elevator and music was playing. Mandela effect?

Great "music" I had to"Subscribe" glad I did"!
I took a work class in high school and our teacher said they use to pump in subliminal messages with this type of music that said "Do not steal or do not shoplift"
But then it was later found out and was removed. He also showed us hidden messages on magazine covers and if you looked really hard you could see words like "sex"
ever so slightly on the faces of people on the covers.
Hmmm. Now it's just blatent in children's books & music & programming & on every music industry award stage.
