My daddy uses a special shellac on this thing.
我爸爸用了特殊
虫胶清漆。
However each side of these shellac discs could only play about 3 or 4 minutes of music, and record companies realized that if they wanted a longer playing record, they would need a tougher material, one that could handle smaller grooves.

每一面只能播放大约3或4分钟
音乐,唱片公司意识到,如果他们想要播放更长
时间,他们需要一种更坚韧
材料,可以承受较小
凹槽。
My father, who was a businessman with no literary pretensions, wrote both a family history and a history of the family shellac business, which stayed on the same block in the middle of Manhattan for more than a hundred years.
