K-Tel was a precursor to NASA. Not many people realize that fact.

Yeah, NASA scientists like to play down the fact that it was by reverse-engineering the K-tel Record Selector that they got their biggest breakthroughs.

All that funding from those compilation albums I bought helped too.

Thanks to you, my Youtube algorithm is now sending me all things K-tel:-

Let me count the ways I can thank you, Plankton !

Has the Pocket Fisherman showed up yet?

Lisnaholic · 05-24-2022, 07:57 AM

Not yet, but you have presented me with a real teaser: should I or shouldn't I

Plankton · 05-24-2022, 08:29 AM

Oh, I would, for sure. Yup.

K-tel. I remember the commercials. I remember hearing the term "space aged" a lot as a kid. It was as if NASA had their own manufacturing facility for everything.
