Remember the old days when ya had no idea of when a new album was coming out? Ya just had to visit the record bins every week until SURPRISE! There's the new album with a new cover and new songs and you couldn't wait to get it home and sit through that magical discovery of new tunes! Carefully placing the needle on the vinyl.
I agree completly Bill. There was magic in the discovery and running back home to slit the cellophane cover with your thumbnail to gaze at that pristine vinyl. While I wouldn't trade the information we now have for anything, I do look back fondly to those times.
When I was out visitin Derek one time, we poured a few glasses of wine and played "name that album". We went through each album, trying to name each song, in order, on each album. The only reason we could even attempt it was from years of gazing at the album covers and devouring every word.
I must say though, it sure is easier to carry around a cd than the old Hi Fi and albums.
