Do you collect vinyl acetate long play records?

[Starrio]

I grew up during the 90s, and my very first CD albums were The Offspring "Americana", and Red Hot Chili Peppers "Californication".

However I end up loving a lot of 60s and 70s music, mostly by my own discovery, so now I kind of collect vinyl albums from that era.

Thats a nice collection Starrio.

I don't collect vinyls but I have a collection of about 500 LP's, but thats only because of my age.

Truth is, records sound much better than CD's. Theres a 'dirty', gritty sound that I love.

I inherited old '45's from parents from early 1960's & they are immensely powerful loud & raw.

Two of my favourites are "Johnny remember me" & "Be my baby". Its almost an afterthought that the records were produced by two wonderful imaginations, those of English Joe Meek, & American Phil Spector:
