Actually Gods I thought that was a perfect way of expressing it!

To answer your question, I have just started collecting vinyl again and am very lucky that the town I'm currently resident in has a multitude of shops that have excellent supplies of 80's LP's and some in very good condition. Two weeks ago I got hold of Quiet Life LP, Tin Drum LP, Exorcising Ghosts LP, and yesterday I picked up another Tin Drum (yeah I know ... but I want to frame it!) and Gary Numan's Replicas - it wont play but I love the photography! Hee! Also Ultravox, OMD, Cocteau Twins, Bowie, DD, and George Harrison: Living in the Material World. And so cheap too! Practically giving them away! So don't worry Natasha I think your bank manger would approve if you switched from CD to Vinyl!!!!

Problem is, my space travelling friend, that I would have BOTH CDs AND vinyl...

i got rid of my cassettes of Tin Drum... lol wore it out. I kept the artwork insert though. I still have many cassettes from the 80s. Most are nearly worn out.

Do LPs go bad over time? I mean if they aren't warped and look to be practically brand new? I was playing one of the new LPs i got and it just didn't sound as good as some of my other LPs do

Ahhh - I see your problem. Hmmm, just have to save those pennies a little harder! Yeah, like that's going to happen! What with music to purchase and concerts to go to ... it's just never ending!

Well, I'm not 100% sure about this one Gods, because as I said before the Gary Numan 'Replicas' album I bought looks absolutely perfect, and yet it wont play at all. Nothing doing. Odd. Which one of your new purchases is proving less than adequate? Not the new DS 12"?

Something I wrote and posted at another place.

I've never heard of an LP deteriorating or being unplayable when new, very odd. Well, except for one experience with the latter when I once bought an album, Led Zep's "Houses of the Holy", back when it first came out. Couldn't play it because it didn't have a hole, lol.

I've had many cassettes wear out, they get all swiss-cheesey (full of holes).

yeah i got three 12 inches of david's work. The one i listened to and it sounded sort of muted was Silver Moon. I mean granted my record player isn't brandy new... lol in fact i got it years ago as a teenager for xmas. I rarely used the needle so i can't see that as being a problem... but perhaps. I have NO idea how to change needles or even if i'm able to on this unit.
