  • @v0lquete I don't think it got deleted 

  • i agree with the intensity of the experience. it takes a lot more effort to get great sound from vinyl. the equipment, the cartridge, the stylus, the alignment, the maintianance. it's certainly a lot more effort. but it's absolutely worth that effort. plus when you put effort into something, you appreciate it more. this is from someone who had sunk to the depths of convenience offered by the digital download. thank you records, and thank you record stores.

  • Hi nothing bad to you but I went to the one in St.Louis an some of the records were overpriced I under stand why some were priced the way they were but others were just to overpriced no matter which way youed look at it nad I am not saying they were all like that and one thing that I did like was that there was a bargon section there was alot of really good records there I was shocked thank you.

  • Much to the glee of used record store owners, they benefit from the record enthusiasm and internet forums/old Napster fueled fascination with music that we have this thing with "warm" records.

    You can hold CDs in your hand also, ultimately its the music you're listening to, not the format. You have a personal relationship with the song, the messages, the music, the artist and what they sing about that touches you. Thats personal, not the format.

  • Woops accidently flagged sorry :[
