Old vinyl (...hiss...pop...hum...)

Archive: Secondhand Music

We still sell old LPs.

Winamp 5

But fewer and fewer. There will always ben collectors for discographically significant and rare Beatles, Elvis and other faves of various generations. But most old vinly will go the place of old lacquer (78s) and 8-Tracks.

I ran a small non-profit used & rare bookstore in Cambridge MA for a couple of years. We did a fairly brisk business in LP's, mostly because we sold them for 50 cents each. One Saturday afternoon a guy brought his wide-eyed 10 year old daughter in, walked her her to the LP section, and gave her an educational lecture called “Vinyl records 101”. She'd never seen one before. buaaah-huh!

Feel free to share your feelings about Old vinyl (...hiss...pop...hum...). Please stick to the theme of the entry. Disagreement is fine. Homophobia, racism, and kindred expressions of hatred will be deleted.

This site is one of my hobbies. I genuinely enjoy hearing from people and hate moderating or killing comments. Forthright disagreement is fine as long as it is civil.

My thanks,
Richard
