It's a bit of a hodgepodge - at its core it's a Technics 1210MK5 (I have a few 1210s as I used to mix). But I've replaced various parts - different arm, for example.
You mean the thing on top of the record label? That's a weight. I use a platter mat that's slightly concave, and so when used in conjunction with a weight to push the record down against the mat it helps to even out the small amount of warpage that's common to a lot of records. The weight also keeps the record firmly pressed against the mat and platter, which supposedly renders the interface between the stylus and the groove less susceptible to certain kinds of vibrational interference (clamps achieve the same thing, but without adding to the load on the spindle bearing, which may be desirable for some turntables). Depending on the kind of turntable and mat you're using, a weight or clamp might improve its performance a little, but as with all things in this area YMMV.

The movie wasn't terrible, but it also wasn't anything magical. The soundtrack however is AMAZING....
just reading that gave me goosebumps...
yeah, some of the best sounding records i have are 2x12" 45rpm (converge did this with several of their albums, among others). i wish more bands would do that instead of jamming too many songs onto a single 33rpm. i'll gladly pay a few more bucks for it.
Got this beauty in the mail today. Versions of songs by Soundgarden, NIN, The Cure, Radiohead, Rolling Stones, etc.

Discovered both of these artists this year and they've both quickly become all time favorites. Collected all of these records within the last 2 weeks or so. Really wish Fiona's records were easier to come by (or available at all, in the case of her second album). But I'm still on the hunt for more Nilsson.
You are correct. The other versions are from the composer himself, and they’re quite good. I guess if you’re a fan of the show you’ll be a fan of the soundtrack. Most of the songs are played on an old timey player piano and sound very good.
