My first entry with my new dSLR. I still haven't read the manual yet, so be nice to me :)
I tried a few shots with it actually spinning, but the blurred text was disappointing so I pulled the plug on it. Hopefully it still meets the challenge.
Shot in B&W, cropped, USM, resize.

The record player arm is out of focus, and it distracts the eye. Nice idea, though; try again sometime!
Thanks for the comments. With hindsight I think I shouldn't have used the f1.4 lens, and should have switched table lamps for the brighter one from the other room, and used a narrower aperture to keep the whole image in focus.
I think your choice of record title was clever, but the lighting is poor (the glare on the record is a problem). Lots of "dead" space, too. I don't think this was improved by b&w.
