    A great point that wasn't mentioned is that you know own the music. If Spotify and Apple music etc all goes down tomorrow and will never come back, you still have your trusty coloured discs of good music to come back too, forever

      whats more likely to happen is music streaming platforms will start doing excusive band or song deals. ware you'll need 20 different subs just you listen to all your music. just like how the movie and tv streaming is right now.

    Nice timing as today I bought Bitches Brew on record after owning it for more than twenty years as a CD. Technically it was the Complete Bitches Brew Sessions, but that’s neither here nor there.
    One of the best recent records I got was desert dream by desert sand feels warm at night. This was a quadruple LP issued by Geometric Lullaby, housed in a canvas box and each record is in its own jacket. There was a lot of attention to detail, such as side numbers done in Arabic numerals, Chinese numerals and even Egyptian hieratic.
    Oh and I’m steadily working on getting my own music pressed as a record. And let’s just say I want to put some of my own attention to detail into it 😁

    I've always hated vinyl records, even when I was a kid, that is why I tried to make a tape recorder in the fourth grade, I didn't succeed obviously, but at least I tried! The ticks, and pops, plus surface noise, and the eccentricity of vinyl records drove me (when I had enough money), to purchase a used teak A1500U, reel-to-reel tape recorder, but I could easily still hear the difference between "source and tape", the dreaded tape hiss. In 1978 as an engineering consultant for the "Great American Sound Co., I traveled to Japan to visit GAS dealers and the Tokyo Electronics Show. In the Sony booth at that show, I saw for the first time, a model PCM-1, 12-bit digital processor playing music from the video track displaying thousands of black and white, undulating bits on the monitor, from the same SL-8200 Beta max VCR I had at home, I had to own one of these! In 1983 I attended an AES meeting featuring Marshall Buck who was presenting his new "coaxial two-way" loudspeaker he had designed for Cerwin-Vega! In his demonstration he was utilizing a "vocal-only" recording of a female singer that sounded fantastic with an incredible "dynamic range" and no background hiss. Immediately after Marshall's demonstration, I walked up and asked him what equipment was playing back his recording of this singer? He pointed to this diminutive silver box, and said I'm using a Sony PCM-F1, 16-bit Digital Audio Processor and a VCR. I said how much for the PCM-F1. He said $1,500.00, and I said sold! I built a portable recording rig that included the PCM-F1 and other custom-made equipment that I utilized for various musical performance recordings made on location and I won an Emmy for an outdoor performance of the opera Faust! I've been a digital advocate ever since, if you wish to learn more about my current endeavors, search RUclips with the following: "JBL SYNTHESIS CREATOR", and ALSO: "HOWTOHOMELIFE".

    I like the process of playing music off a physical record. I work as a wildland firefighter in the summers and I work sometimes 150 hours in 2 weeks so being able to do something simple and not on any screen to listen to music I like, in a way that’s relaxing is something I really enjoy.

    You might enjoy Throwing Snow's Dragon album with variant covers. -- Also, please invest in some sort of record cleaning. The dreadful crackling sound at the end of your video is what most people associate with vinyl, and it does not need to exist. Just clean your records. Wet - Vacuum - Ultrasonic. Doesn't matter, just clean it.

    I collect records (& some CD's) for all the points you make + owning it helps me secure the music for as long as it's playable & intact. One of my, if not, coolest looking records is Cattle Decapitation's "Anthropocene Extinction" Trash Explosion variant. Great record, sick cover & vinyl colorway.

    Let's goo Jake! And the answer is.... there just neat. From the crazy art they can have, to the story of acquiring it, some are interactive, and some are just odd. Either way, physical media is making a comeback, its an underground thought but I've see it firsthand by many others. It's just overall a better experience. Vinyl's just rule.-Spinelli

    I was at a large electronics shop today and I saw Weezer's Blue Album and Nirvana's In Utero and it is really sad to see how some albums were not meant to have such large covers. Nirvana's In Utero, however, was also re-mastered to some "deluxe edition" which had the covered upgraded but still it sucks to never know if you get the actual good covers (especially if buying online)

At first it was just Linkin Park anniversary collections, now im importing Nujabes shit from Japan, trying to find J Dilla stuff, and subscibed to VinylPost.

    Vinyl cannot participate in the loudness war by design. Music that was mastered for vinyl sounds nicer, because it's not compressed to hell and back. I often search for vinyl rips of songs. And now there's auto-leveling on the playback almost everywhere, so the loudness war is not even needed anymore. I hope musicians start having mastering done only for vinyl to save cost and distribute that master to all platforms. It would be better for everyone.
