I remember reading about it somewhere......maybe here??
What I'm referring to is an exhibit where The Beatles, 'White Album' is featured on 100 turntables all being played at the same time and how different the album should sound when played on 100 turntables at the same time.
Believe this is in New York.

I've heard attempts at multiple records etc playing done live - I recall a Billy Jenkins performance where he synced up 4 specially cut 12-inch records to play in "natural-phase" sync, with speakers being placed in various parts of the room - that performance was actually pretty impressive, from what I recall.
Still, in spite of my caveats, it's certainly an interesting thread, all told.
