Vinyl Notes

 Notes on collecting vinyl (and cd's)  ......

• My vinyl obsession still grows stronger every day. Unlike so many pretenders where the insanity faded over time.
• Cover images and art are as important as the music. As are liner notes. And the most intriguing images, artwork and notes are on jazz recordings.
• If you find a recording or two that you enjoy, dig deeper into the record label. Research the unknown names and label catalogue. There's generally more gold to discover.
• Pet peeve .... chewed up album cover spines. Take care of your records!! Handle with care!
• I tend to get caught up wishing that every record store was stocked with upper tens of thousands of records .... and all titles that I'm interested in. I'm trying to accept and be happy with the smaller stores and hope for a single great find instead of being disappointed that I'm not walking out with half a dozen or more records.
• I love the texture and feel of many of the album covers from the 1960's.
