The [vinyl] record collection was really the art collection of a working man, ordinary man or woman, and its only now, as they slip into history that we see the real beauty and their real power.

I love my record collection started when I was a teenager. It doesn’t matter that I can download any song I want from the internet they just don’t have the same ‘something’ that vinyl has for me. Maybe it’s because it was how I began to collect the music I love. There are a great many things that I enjoy due to technology, cheap books and music in just two but I must admit I get great pleasure from playing my vinyls and reading ‘actual’ books.
Great they mean so much to you 🙂 I just have to have hard copy books too.
