Snake Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 Most are kept in heavy sleeves, with the albums in ziplock sleeves. Played once to record to cassette. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anler Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 (edited) I had a pretty good collection once upon a time. Vinyl and cds. Sold all the vinyl a looong time ago. Edited February 9, 2018 by Arctic Cat Destroyer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snake Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 One of the problems, if you can call it that, with downloading and such is the cover art. Some of those covers were masterpieces. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platinum Contributing Member steve from amherst Posted February 9, 2018 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted February 9, 2018 Was a segment on NH chronicle bout them few weeks back. Dude had mentioned that it is the artwork that is one of the big reasons for their resurgence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Album covers are definitely a lost art, I grabbed a few out of my parents collection to load into my drum machine/sampler based off the covers alone. 27 minutes ago, steve from amherst said: Was a segment on NH chronicle bout them few weeks back.

I was listening to the re-mastered digital version of Bowie's Diamond Dogs yesterday, I threw on the vinyl for comparison when I got home last night... So much warmer and more full than the digital copy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

02sled Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 We have a couple of hundred albums and two working turntables. We also have about 250 cassette tapes and a couple of players. Probably about 100 CD's. They all get used. The one thing I did get rid of were the 8 track cassettes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as I have something to play them on I will keep them. There are so many great tunes on them that I want to be able to hear, especially on a Saturday at the lake.

Cassettes? WTF... Neal There's an electronic genre called vaporwave where they heavily sample 80's and 90's music. Those artists release their music on cassette, partly as an homage to the era they're getting their sound from and partly as collectibles.
