I wish I still had all my old vinyl. The downside of getting old – CD covers are not as enjoyable as vinyl jackets.
And yep, I had all of them . . . .

I gave away my vinyl collection and my turntable when I moved to England in 1990, which was a shame.
I’ve noticed that vinyl has been making a small comeback, but I wonder why people would want them anymore (other than for the album covers).

DJs like them too

They used to make cds from vinyl? Didn’t it melt under the laser?
Comment by The Bagel of Everything — March 13, 2008 @ 12:18 pm
yes and they made little squelching sounds as they melted. everyone thought it was part of the song but now you know better…

So that’s where that crap about backward messages started . . .

You brought back a few memories here buddy.
I’m off now to look for my skin-tight pair of hip huggers.
The only album I wasn’t familiar with at all was “It’s a beautiful day”, though I did like “White Bird”

I love this! Can I make a copy?
Comment by chickadee74 — March 15, 2008 @ 3:10 pm
I still have about 500 covers downstairs..I would like to cover an entire wall with them.
I prolly saw Heart about 6 times. They loved Whateverpeg and I loved Nancy.

[…] Back in the late 70’s and early 80’s I was gigging on a regular basis. (gigging = playing music i.e., weddings, night clubs, festivals, frat parties) For a working musician, the times were good. Actually, that’s wrong, they were the best. Although things have changed dramatically and DJ’s continue to unjustly monopolize the wedding industry I still have rather fond memories of the good old days. I read this short post at FFE’s blog and the wheels began turning. […]
