An old 78 record, already broken, on an old victrola (which is not broken) shot with just indoor lighting. Cleaned up a bit, cropped, USM. The tear through the flag was unintentional. The flag is part of the original label.

Great image, just too bad your reflection is visible.

What puzzles me with this image is the straight line of the cut. I haven't seen a broken LP in a long time, so I can't remember if they break on such straight lines in reality, but this one seemed so unreal.
Also, I could see the tripod and you taking the picture in the reflection off of the arm... and I wish it wasn't there.

I can't help but look at the reflection and try and figure out if this is who I think it is.
Good composition, clever title. Shame about the reflection!

My eye is drawn to the bright shuny arm, not the dark broken record. Perhaps move thebreak forward? Dunno, something is missing composition wise - too many things pointing to many ways maybe..
I also see you in the reflection of the phono arm (tsk tsk)
Technically good, other than the reflection.

i think am old enough to of have heard that before ! your reflection and glare detract from the image, also is the yellow cast intensional.

Interesting commentary on the American political consiousness. Good composition. Looks like you had to slice the LP to avoid shatterng it. Good luck.

This is a really nice subject for this challenge and the colors are very rich. You might consider cloning out your reflection, but other than that this is an excellent photo.
