Strange or Lie?

Everybody knows that before CDs and cassettes people use to listen to these things called records. (Think back I know you can remember them.) Most old people (i.e. over 30) can also remember that records came in the "speeds" of: 33, 45, and 78 rotations per minute. What most people don't remember that for a brief time in the 50's (the birth era of modern music you hound dog you) a small Japanese record company experimented with a small record with a speed of 156 rpm. It never really caught on though as the records spun so fast they would ware down record needles much too fast.
