Arent cd, s and mp etc rubbish compared to vinyl. ?

You can't beat Vinyl, there was just something about it when buying a new album, you felt like you were getting something for you money and you could read the sleeve notes and not need a magnifing glass. As for the playing well just lowering the needle down onto the first side just had something about it, then turning the record over to listern to the 2nd side. Mind you the horrible scratchey noise between songs wasn't quite so good.

You really have gone and done it now IPS

I spent ages last night rooting through old albums and concert memorabilia.

I didn't realise I had quite so many. Over 300 vinyl albums (but no turntable anymore) and god knows how many CDs

Found a few strange ones, and some old favorites. Tarkus- Emerson Lake and Palmer. Wishbone Ash, Dixie Dreggs (they did the theme for the Tommy Vance Friday Rock show on Radio1). Tangerine Dream, Rory Gallagher, UFO, Small Faces - Ogdens Nut Gone Flake, with a sleeve like an old tobacco tin and Stanley Unwin narrating in between tracks. Even a couple of Budgie albums

I found old tshirts and programs from Reading and Knebworth.

I have a Sonos system in the house. So I now have to spend weeks putting these onto my hard drive, so I can play them whenever I want.

Actually. The first live band I ever saw was the Troggs.

I was only 5 or 6

My family used to run a country club in Essex and had a barn where they had live music most weeks.

One night my Dad work me up and took over to the barn to see this apparently "amazing" band.

All I can really remember was it was really loud, loads of smoke and lots of people dancing. :biggrin:

Little Bardfield in Essex. The Barn, which was quite a walk from the main house had live music most weeks.
There was a massive fight one night about 1968. For weeks we had posters up all over "Little Bardfield Barn - Free" hundreds turned up thinking it was free to get in, but it was an unknown band called Free.
