What does spin like a record mean

Records are old fashioned method of storing and playing music that were disks with groves to play music the disk was span on a table with a needle riding in the grooves

i believe your simile refers to the high rpm the disk was subjected to when playing music whatever object the simile refers to is spinning around an axis rather quickly

“the globe theatre is housed in an open arena the layout of the open air arena, featured the ‘ pit’ or the ‘yard’. the globe had a raised stage at one end and was surrounded by three tires of roofed galleries with balconies overlooking the back of the stage. the stage projected halfway into the ‘pit’”. i hope this information you .
