Turn Up the Vinyl

Snap, Crackle and Pop

I've been a record collector all my life...a whole 24.8 years.  Throughout that time, my generation has been bred on the compact disc (CD) and the birth/thrive of the digital music scene.  I mean, don't you brag to your buddies about your note-worthy collection of burned music via Limewire? But before all of this, the vinyl LP was a collectible medium that had tons of character.  You might ask, "Why listen to crackly, poorly mastered music on an old-fashion record player?  Isn't it out-dated?"  The answer is NO.  People now actualy want to hear those unique imperfections.  Think I'm crazy?  Read for yourself.
