A few scratches here and there but I have treasures among them that I couldn't find on CDs. Yet as you say, DE, I can't travel with them. It's wonderful to have Bach in my ears when I run on a boring treadmill...Claudehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04307495672130972111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19492813.post-47426393560692271652009-03-07T13:51:00.000+00:002009-03-07T13:51:00.000+00:00Point taken Egg.

I love vinyl, but I also love the fact that, rather than having to carry a box with 200 records around, I can put all that music on something that fits in my pocket (something which still astounds me). Cassettes are great (except when they snarl up in your player, break, or develop faults which distort the sound). Live music is great, but I can't fit the Berlin Philharmonic in my living room...<BR/>The solution: experience them all!A Doubtful Egghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11865149869239061973noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19492813.post-57742640153773736402009-03-06T22:16:00.000+00:002009-03-06T22:16:00.000+00:00It is a shame isn't it Welshcakes.
