Tis' a good point Chris and well presented ;)

And one obvious from the start. IMHO

Indeed, and that would've been the sensible thing to have done. Sadly, I wasn't always sensible ;)

Marco.

Never mind, the silver lining was that all us old fashioned types who stuck with vinyl had a few years of cheaply hoovering up those useless outdated licorice pizzas that you lot abandoned!

I was newly married and skint. There was also the small matter of over 1,000 albums that would have had to be stored. I used to do record reviews in the local paper so got most of them for free. Still breaks my heart and its the reason I can't bear to buy a turntable. Much as I want to.

It's also the reason I have nine beautiful bikes including a road bike for each day of the week. Won't make the same mistake again. They're going nowhere unless I'm on one.

Im fortunate to have missed the CD hype and wanted to play records because of all the cheap ones around at car boot sales, so bought my first deck off a school friend. Unfortunately though I still missed the boat when it came to cheap vinyl - should have spent my student loans on it rather than on keyboards.

bastards :ner:

Well, I kept my vinyl and got into CD as well. Still got them all (both formats) and love them all. I wouldn't want to part with my TT or CD! They're obviously different, but each sounds great in it's own way.
