When I really got into music, back in the '70s, vinyl was all you could buy. And tapes. I still have at least 300 records. Still have a turntable. Vinyl is actually making a comeback. In truth, vinyl records have better dynamic range than CDs ever will. I loved buying a record because you felt like you actually got something for your money. You got real pictures and artwork. Real liner notes. Unlike today's CDs. You could hold them in your hands, open them up and truly enjoy them.

There was a local news article about the resurgence of vinyl. Lots of bands are releasing on vinyl as well as CDs because of the aforementioned better sound and dynamic range.

Vinyl Forever!

But, I must admit to making wav files from some LPs Can't throw a record on the turntable when I'm at the computer.

My favorites are:

Frank Zappa (all of 'em)
The Beatles White Album
And too many others to mention here!
