Vinyl Records - A Resurfaced Love Affair
Sunday, October 5th, 2008A colleague’s chance remark brought back memories of the once-upon-a-time ubiquitous vinyl records. And then I read an article which claimed that vinyl records had a ‘warm’ sound. Voila, how true! As I dived into my hazy memory, I felt those words extremely true.
That was it. The urge to own one again started.
For those who were born this side of the nineties, vinyl records were standard music storage formats, till about the eighties when the audio-cassettes took over. They were often called ‘long-playing records’ or simply LP’s (there were smaller versions too, which carried just the ’singles’). In a way (and in an uncanny genetical resemblance as well) they were the grand-dads to compact-discs.
