We've moved so many times, our vinyls were lost/ left in an attic/ burgled yonks ago.
We once had a Binatone turntable and a Bang and Olfsen CD and tape player.
I'd stick with my CDs and whatever I get on i-tunes as the outlay for vinyls and turntable, for budgetary reasons, wouldn't pass my cost-benefit analysis. I need funds to up-skill (IT etc), build my small portfolio into a less small one and to eat.
Do you remember the stuff we used to spray on vinyl to fix the static? And the sticky tape that took up the dust?
And you thought the 70s was about socialism ffs

I do miss my 45s and 33s, though.
Millennials wouldn't know what a B-side is, or maybe a 45 or 33.
So a certain generation can say, 'Yes, Goodnight Saigon was better than Leave A Tender Moment Alone.'

I love my vinyl but I don’t really play it. And it’s an artifact buy now, you don’t just find the good stuff at jumble sales ffs.

There was a guy whose act on chat shows was to be able to read the grooves on a vinyl album and to say which one is was.
Hopefully he had another income stream when everyone got CDs then went digital.
Maybe he can now make a come-back.

We just used a cloth.
It was a booger when the needle got dusty.
