I remember the old vinyl records. You had the 78's, the 45's and the 33 rpm records. Most of them were black; however, some, as I recall, were red, yellow and green. These vinyl records are making a comeback, as many people still love the sound that comes from them. One person likened the sound to the crackle of a fireplace...warmth, nostalgic. I agree with him. As for the 45's, you needed a plastic piece that fit in the middle so that it would stay still on the record player or stereo and play properly.
We also had the tapes...however, I always preferred the records.
Some say the quality of vinyl is better than the MP3 recordings of today.
ReplyDeleteHi Andrew, I heard about that! Sometimes technology is not necessarily better at all.
DeleteYou love music, I do too. Many sorts.
ReplyDeleteWe seem to have very similar tastes - in music, at least. Back in the 70s, I wrote a weekly column discussing the latest record releases. The record companies sent me "demo" albums and I ended up with thousands. I've given away most of them. That was great fun, though.
ReplyDeleteNow, my biggest collection of CDs included Sinatra and Willie Nelson!
I forgot to mention that I used to write music. I had an album of old-timey country stuff released in Europe in 1998. The lead song, "Too Good to be Blue," made it to #1 on the Independent Radio charts and #10 on the Top 50 (right up there with Reba, Garth, etc.) That was fun but I never made any money from it. A good friend, producer from Nashville who worked with all the big names, told me to move to Nashville if I wanted to be successful. That really wasn't an option.
ReplyDeleteBrings back memories of the musci tapes and LP's I once bought.
ReplyDeleteGreetings,

Helt enig.
ReplyDeleteJeg holder også meget af de gode gamle musikstykker.
I still have all my vinyl! There's nothing like the cosy sound of that crackling.... Thank you for the reminder.
ReplyDeleteI still have a few vinyl albums, although I don't currently even own a record player! LOL.. I've thought of getting one of those USB record players, but I might just sell the albums instead, we'll see..
ReplyDeleteLubię też słuchać dobrej muzyki, takiej "wpadającej w ucho". Mam też płyty winylowe, tylko nie ma na czym ich przesłuchiwać. Moje dzieci słuchały nawet bajek z takich płyt. Pozdrawiam i dziękuję za komentarz u mnie. *** I like listening to good music, such a "catchy". I also have vinyl, but not on what they hear. My kids even heard tales of such records. I greet and thank you for your comments with me :-).
ReplyDeleteOn ne peut pas se séparer de nos vieux vinyles... ils sont devenus précieux et représentent également un epartie de notre vie et de notre jeunesse aussi bien sûr !
ReplyDeleteUne très jolie publication...
Je vous remercie pour votre gentil commentaire laissé sur mon blog.
Gros bisous à vous.
Times move on and now even Cd's are being replaced by MP3!
