Previous Special Containment Procedures: SCP-6061 is to be kept in item locker 101 at site 49. The record player used on SCP-6061 in any test must be of high quality as to ensure the safety of the discs.

Previous Description: SCP-6061 is a set of 27, one sided, 10 inch records dated to 2001. The records each have two songs on them and all seem to be popular songs played by a cover band called "Artificial Mariachi Revenant Experience" a band that does not appear to exist outside of SCP-6061. The anomalous effects of SCP-6061 are that three humans inhabit the records. The records when played will go for an inconsistent amount of time, before deviating from the song. The deviations, referred to as Broken record events, occur when a member of the band messes up, gets interrupted, or breaks an instrument or piece of furniture, or is otherwise interrupted by some event. No two playings of a record will be the same, acting as a live performance. Each time the band members remember the previous time the record was played and seem to perceive time while the records are not being played. It seems that the band members in the recording are conscious of the world outside of the record. Experiments have concluded that all humans in SCP-6061 while the records are being played can sense between 8-17 feet around the record player. Researchers have been able to communicate with these entities through speech and the entities have communicated back through the record player.

Previous Addendum:

+ SCP-6061-A Interview

Foreword: This interview is with the lead singer of the band inhabiting SCP-6061, designated SCP-6061-A. It identifies itself as a man named Conner Crusher. This interview was conducted with a record with a cover of the song Mrs.Robinson by Simon & Garfunkel. The record was a slowed down version with only Conner Crusher playing an acoustic guitar and preforming vocals. It appears that Conner Crusher is the only member of the band in this record.

Dr. Purr: Hello SCP-6061-A can you hear me.

SCP-6061-A: (Music and lyrics from song.)

Dr. Purr: Hello

SCP-6061-A: Yeah what's up man, your messing up my record.

Dr. Purr: I am so sorry. I was just wondering if I could ask you some short questions.

SCP-6061-A: What are you? An Interviewer?

Dr. Purr: Well technically but this isn't like a news interview.

SCP-6061-A: Alright you got my attention for now at least. Now let's get moving. (SCP-6061-A audibly claps his hands)

Dr. Purr: Oh sorry, let me get the ball rolling I am Dr. Purr and-

SCP-6061-A: Questions about me man I don't got all day.

Dr. Purr: Ok I guess I will skip the formalities, what is your name?

SCP-6061-A: Conner Crusher.

Dr. Purr: Just to be clear is that a Nickname or your Birth name?

SCP-6061-A: Nickname. I got it in college from some friends my birth name is Connor Smith. Doesn't have that ring to it you know.

Dr. Purr: Yeah I get it. You mentioned college are you still attending?

SCP-6061-A: I was I haven't been able to go on account of being in a record. I can't really get out of the house.

Dr. Purr: Oh sorry that should have been obvious. You mentioned being in a house, is that what you are experiencing right now?

SCP-6061-A: It is more of an apartment. Its two rooms and a bathroom and I share it with my bandmates.

Dr. Purr: Interesting. Next, how do you feel about your bandmates?

SCP-6061-A: Oh, Robbie and Berry. Well they really boil my blood but I'm stuck with them. They really bogged down our records. We can't even manage to get through one song. We are pathetic. We were doing good but then I suggested starting a band and now we are here not even able to complete a song.

Dr. Purr: I am sorry to hear that Conner. Why do you think you and your bandmates have such a struggle completing songs?

SCP-6061-A: Well it could be a number of things. First off we all hate each other, second is are lack of practice, lastly are the current medical problems we've been suffering.

Dr. Purr: Problems, would you care to elaborate?

SCP-6061-A: Sure Doc, we've all been failing apart since first arriving in the records. Back pain, head aches, nausea, ringing in our ears, and a lack of rhythm in Berry who is our usual drummer.

Dr. Purr: That can't be good, speaking of when you first got there do you remember how you ended up like this in the record?

SCP-6061-A: I'd rather not talk about it.

Dr. Purr: I am here to help you Conner. Do you know what happened?

SCP-6061-A: No… Not really. But occasionally I get these flashes a bright light, a loud sound, the screeching of metal then. (6 seconds of silence)

Dr. Purr: Hello

SCP-6061-A: (Soft weeping) I hear them Screaming Doc. Berry and Robbie. I feel the pain and shock and … Sorry Doc I am going to have to excuse myself.

<End Log>

Closing Statement: After the end of this interview no sound was displayed from the record. all attempts to contact SCP-6061-A by replaying the record failed for 24 hours. It was reported that on the third replay smoke poured out from the speakers of the record player. No damage was found on the record player when examined later. Another record, a cover of Aeroplane by The Red Hot Chili Peppers, was played which usually including all three Band members but SCP-6061-A was absent. When questioned Robbie and Berry, from here on referred to as SCP-6061-B and C, mentioned that SCP-6061-A was on a smoke break.

Dr.Purr Research note-Medical injuries and stress in SCP-6061 show that the inhabitants of SCP-6061 have suffered some type of trauma congruent with a high fall or car crash.

+ SCP-6061-B Interview

Foreword: This interview is with a member of the band inhabiting SCP-6061, designated SCP-6061-B and it identifies itself as a man named Robbie Rorschach. This interview was conducted inside of a record with a cover of the song I'm gonna be by The Proclaimers.

<Begin Log>

Dr.Purr: Hello there, Robbie is it.

SCP-6061-B: (Music suddenly stops) Hello, you called my name.

Dr.Purr: Yes Robbie I wish to conduct an Interview with you specifically if you will allow it.

SCP-6061-B: Oh, um sure. (Speaking in a hushed tone) Hey guys we need to take a 3 minute break for now.

Dr.Purr: Are we good now?

SCP-6061-B: Yeah, but just so you know my bandmates are still in just the other room. Just be mindful of how you speak.

Dr.Purr: Ok I'll keep that in mind. So first question can you describe your knowledge of what is going on to you guys.

SCP-6061-B: Well I know that we are in a record in the real world but me and the others are living in our apartment on are side. Thats about it.

Dr.Purr: Did you ever attempt to leave the apartment.

SCP-6061-B: (Facetious Talking) No, we never attempted to leave. (Small pause) Do you think we're stupid doc, we have tried everything on the doors but nothing has done anything.

Dr.Purr: I understand, sorry I was just asking. This might be another stupid question but were you guys a band before being trapped.

SCP-6061-B: Yes we were. We all went to the same college.

Dr.Purr: And what college was that?

SCP-6061-B: I… I can't remember. I am so sorry. Um.. umm… I got nothing I'm so sorry Doc. I never forgot about this stuff before, I've been losing sleep.

Dr.Purr: Ok don't worry about it Robbie. According to you why does your band have such a hard time finishing songs?

SCP-6061-B: Well we are not great singers and we are probably even worse at playing instruments.

Dr.Purr: Are you sure because all of you seem to play pretty good and you each can play multiple instruments from what we've heard in these recordings. From my base knowledge of music, you guys are hitting all of the right notes.

SCP-6061-B: Maybe they do have the talent Doc but I don't, I keep messing up and its costing us as a band. I should get back to playing my other band mates are probably getting antsy. and I really can't be doin this for too long when I have practice to do.

Dr.Purr: Hey if I could tell you about myself for a moment Robbie, I am what I would describe as a chronic worrier. I worry about things all the time, job security, money, social interaction, and sometimes I am just worried and I don't know exactly why. Would you by any chance describe yourself as a chronic worrier? Would others say you are someone who is always worrying about things?

SCP-6061-B: I don't know exactly. I would say probably yes.

Dr.Purr: Would you say this has gotten worse since you have been trapped?

SCP-6061-B: I was always a bit of a worrier, but I would say I have gotten much worse since whatever God forsaking twist of fate put us in this thing. It's not even being in here but it was like it was put directly in my mind.

Dr.Purr: What is the last thing you can remember before being trapped?

SCP-6061-B: I remember being in a car.

Dr.Purr: What were you doing in the car.

SCP-6061-B: I was in the car with Conner and Berry and we were going to go do something important. I… Can't remember. Its like my mind won't let me.

Dr.Purr: Its okay Robbie. Thank you Robbie. I would just like to recommend you some team building exercises for you and your band mates and I would like to schedule a time to talk to you personally.

SCP-6061-B: Thanks Doc, just lay them on me.

<End Log>

Closing Statement: Dr. Purr, a trained Phycologist, proceeded to give several team building exercises to SCP-6061-B who promised to use them. Then Dr.Purr agreed to meet with SCP-6061-B once a week on Wednesday for 4 weeks to talk. In the weeks following this interview the amount of time SCP-6061 records would take to have a broken record event increased. On the third week Robbie remembered the college he went to was ██████ College.

+ SCP-6061-C Interview

Foreword: This interview is with Berry in SCP-6061. this interview was done on a record cover of Crazy Train by Ozzy Osbourne. Berry was the drummer and was asked to answer some questions so he had SCP-6061 A and B leave the room.

<Begin Log>

Dr.Purr: Okay so are you ready to start.

SCP-6061-C: I guess.

Dr.Purr: Good. So I'll get right into the meat of things with your interview. Conner said that you are experiencing rhythm problems is this true?

SCP-6061-C: Yes.

Dr.Purr: Have you been dazed or confused recently or in the past, especially when you were first put into the record?

SCP-6061-C: Yes a matter of fact I have been. How did you know that?

Dr.Purr: Just a hunch. Have you had trouble paying attention or thinking through rash actions?

SCP-6061-C: Yes I have. I actually just recently got into a fistfight with Conner but I think we're cool now.

Dr.Purr: Yeah I would call that rash. Did you get any injuries to your head during that fight?

SCP-6061-C: Yeah I got knocked out easy. Why do you ask Doc?

Dr.Purr: I am worried that you might be suffering from a problematic head injury due to a car crash, that would make further head injuries easier to get.

SCP-6061-C: Oh, now that you mention it I have been having a lot of head aches, you think that might be part of it?

Dr.Purr: Yeah it may be. Next question, how often do you guys rehearse?

SCP-6061-C: Just about everyday.

Dr.Purr: How long?

SCP-6061-C: A couple hours, we really want to succeed Doc.

Dr.Purr: Would you say you get enough rest?

SCP-6061-C: Probably Not. I wake up early and play video games till late. I get like 6 hours of sleep. Why are you asking Doc?

Dr.Purr: I am worried that your head injury is holding you back while you play. The best way to heal a head injury that I can give you without contact is telling you to rest mentally. I want to give you a doctors order not to play an instrument for a week and attempt to sleep for at least 10 hours.

SCP-6061-C: You sure Doc?

Dr.Purr: Yeah I think you guys will be able to play perfectly once we solve a few problems.

SCP-6061-C:What problems?

Dr.Purr: Your head injury, Robbie's Anxiety, and Conners teamwork issues. I think with the therapy sessions, team building exercises, and you resting I believe it may be possible that the next time we play the records you could sound perfect.

SCP-6061-C: Thanks Doc. Any more questions?

Dr.Purr: Just One. What kind of Car did you drive?

SCP-6061-C: Oh, I think it was an old Ford Explorer. The last Time I drove it I think I was going with Conner and Robbie to make a record deal.

Dr.Purr: Thanks, that confirms everything, I have no more questions.

<End Log>

Closing Statement: After this recording SCP-6061 tests were banned for 1 week for recovery time as requested by Dr.Purr.

+ Neutralization discovery

After the week ban of testing SCP-6061 one record of the song Happy Together, by the Turtles was played with a researcher on stand by to record how long it would take until a broken record event. There was no broken record event, causing a mass test of all SCP-6061 records. Besides a vocalization at the beginning of every record saying, "We would like to thank our Doctor, Doctor P for this performance.", every SCP-6061 record is entirely average to a complete performance on a record. Necromantic and Thaumaturgical Specialists were called in to examine the SCP-6061 records and no abnormalities were found. At this point SCP-6061 was determined to be neutralized and are now located in site 49 in the Office of Dr.Purr.
