I'm too old to have done that. When I first started buying records, I
didn't have a tape recorder. And my record playing system was far
better than the tape recorders I could afford when I could finally add
one to my system. Today, I have no compelling reason to buy a
phonograph record.

Nor do I, but my local Tesco superstore has just started stocking a
(very) limited range of vinyl.

As most of what is there is classic rock titles, IĀ* would hope they've
not suffered any remastering other than making new stampers. I'll still
be listening to the CD versions, though.


Hope away. Many are digitally remastered before being made into vinyl
for people more interested in "the look and feel", than the sound. And
most of the new albums on vinyl are recorded digitally too. But those
who buy the vinyl will still swear they are superior of course. :-)
Never hear anyone admit they simply *prefer* the vinyl anomalies and
degradations. I'll admit the covers are better though. Hardly enough for
me to buy one now.
