oh, i love vinyl. and everything that goes with it. i flipped through albums just like this many, many times.

I think our gen did this, many times…sort of like drive-ins, all fading away like a weathered photograph.
Loading...
Instantly transported back to my childhood. My mom is listening to Ella Fitzgerald and Duke Ellington while she cooks dinner. Saaaawweeett….. Thx for the flashback, pal…. 🙂

I can see all of that Lori. All of it.

The milk crates made the best storage containers for the old vinyl albums too. Boxes and boxes. I’m sure my mother wished we took care of our rooms half as much as we took care of our music.
Loading...
Yes, and of course the milk crates.
Loading...
Still have all my vinyl in storage downstairs..and youngest son has begun pilfering (grrrr…) – gently lifting the arm of the stereo to place it gently on the song I wanted to hear the most. Too many memories, so many songs streaming unfiltered in my head.
Loading...
Beautiful. I can feel and see all of that…
Loading...
I read recently that sales of vinyl albums are up. There is hope for humanity!

I read similar story with keen interest. If anyone missed it, here it is:
Nostalgia at it best David!! …. and the bus is rolling along in our house 🙂 Can’t beat that warm full sound!

Oh! Ho I remember looking through them!!
Loading...
Yes, we all do!

🙂

Still have them at home!

Good for you Alice. We have not 1. Not a single vinyl album. With all of our moves, they didn’t make the final trip…unfortunately.
Loading...
We still do but yes, moving is murder as some movers do not get that you cherish it!
Loading...
They are heavy!
Loading...
Not just that. We had a mover not understanding how much we love books and collectors magazines. To fill up a space in a moving box he wedged a collectors magazine in there! Some books were packed wrong side up making the paper tear from the spine!
Loading...
Ouch!
Loading...
Even listening to the scratches and jumping tracks on vinyl albums fills me with nostalgia.

I can hear that Sarah. I can hear it and see it.

We are so lucky to be of the generation that had vinyl, that we could hold music in our hands as well as in our ears/body. I miss the few I had – I think some may still be at my dad’s house and will have to gather them on my next visit.
Loading...
Have been through it and I don’t like that feeling.
Loading...
No…

Oh my goodness, I can remember doing that flicking through records in the 80’s along with my brother at record stores or the amazing record library we had in the local town. It’s not the same flicking through cd’s or even worse – no you can’t flick through iTunes can you!! 😀

You are right. You can’t come close to flicking in iTunes!
