You're stuffed if you don't have a record player of course but luckily two years ago I got a portable one(my stereo system's version stopped working) and although it sounds odd at times(these records, singles and albums are over 30 odd years old) it is still a joy to listen to, and nothing beats that feeling of taking out a large bit of vinyl from its cover and reading the lyrics. What pisses me off is that people are being asked to pay way over the odds for a vinyl album of a big pop star but it probably only cost a few quid when it first came out. Oh yes and I also bought a new cassette player at the same time two years ago because I still have loads of them lying around.
Yeah had a look at the price of vinyl in HMV early last year they were wanting 20£ a pop for old stuff prob could get for about 10p at boot sales
