Sales of vinyl records scratching back
22 comments | Read story
record player is and thats what I listen to while
I craft. I too have collected 100's of records and
bunches of the old Readers Digest albums. This is great music.
My son (32) came over the other day and wanted to
know where the record was that I used to play him
when he was little. He wanted to hear it again. I used to play him records and talk to him about them.
The one he was talking about was the Grand Canyon Suite. We would talk about the sun rise, the donkeys on the trail, the rain, the sun set. He just sat in my craft room and listened to the whole
thing. Great remembering!
Digital is a poor excuse for music replication, compared to records.
I get continual requests for old music from my active collection of over 12,000 lp's and 25,000 45's. And I agree that vinyl analog is better. The sound is warmer and more natural. I am happy to see vinyl use increasing. And with the internet, it is easy to get turntables, cartridges and styli for each. Clean 'em and play 'em and enjoy!!!
After a few days of listening to Emerson Lake & Palmer blast from my bedroom. I think she wished she'd let me get the Carly album.
My 7 year old brought a vinyl album to me one day several years ago and said "what are these plates for"?
Makes me remember my TRUE AGE, rather than the 16 year old that I want to be!
Still have it and I will on occasion play it.
It's true that the human voice, any string instrument drums... pretty much anything not digitally created sounds MUCH better from vinyl!
And some albums were true works of art! not to mention the extras that were tucked inside! posters, cut-outs, pop-up, stickers, 3d glasses, colored vinyl!
AWESOME!!
Also, as a dj it is making a lot more sense for me to buy in vinyl format these days, since much of the music I play is released in a package comes with mp3 downloads or a cd along with the lp. So you get the best of both worlds, and a lot more bang for your buck.
Plus, mixing on vinyl is much more appealing than mixing on cds. Just ask the ladies...
I now have approx 5,500 vinyl LPs.
I gave my cousin approx 1,500 45rpm vinyl a few years ago.
He restores vintage juke boxes.
He can now stock them with old Hank, Lefty, Ray Price, BoDiddly, Hank Snow, Carl Smith, Slim???, Bill Monroe,Flatt & Scruggs, Stanley Brothers and much more.
I received a digital USB turntable for my birthday and am saving thousands of songs to my MP3.
I, too, have multiple turntables...SEVEN of them.
I can record music with digital and get quality you had to have thousands of dollars in tape equipment to record. Then, I can edit the digital sound file like an sound engineer on a PC.
There are people who tell me carburetors, drum brakes and brass radiators were better too. They seem to forget sticking automatic chokes, flooding out on cold mornings and engines that fell apart at 80,000 miles. They forget headliners tearing and knobs falling off too.

My husband has a collection of classical music.
Its amazing though some are "reissued" they are not the same as the original. For example, Paul Anka did a "reissue" of his hits and jazzed them up as they would be sung in a night club,
I would stick to the originals any day!
