    Vinyl making a huge comeback in the music market

    I have said for years that vinyl sounds better than any other medium. I own a Wurlitzer juke box loaded with 45's. A while back you needed to buy used or some, very limited, new pressings. Now many companies are starting to make and distribute vinyl in 7 inch and larger long playing. I just purchased a Frank Sinatra new pressing and expect it to be delivered today. He may have been a bit of an asshole but that guy was able to sing imo he will always be the king.

    They have been making a comeback since the mid '00's when the CD faded away with virgin vinyl new pressings. Some packages contain the vinyl as well as a coupon to DL the mp3s. Congrats with your purchase.

    Just bought the original In-A-Gadda-Devita at a garage sale the other day

    The album itself seems in fine shape but the cover is fairly worn

    Yeah, I wish I had my old 45's and albums when I was a kid. Too stupid to keep them, now I am paying more for them then I did then. lol

    45 cost as little as 89 cents.

    Some, not many. Mostly rock and roll from the 60's. Beatles, B Darin, some bubble gum, but my favorite had to be doo wop and soul including sounds from Detroit, NY and Philly.

    Back up band for almost every great MoTown group. Some of them still alive and playing, just amazing. I believe they played on more hits than any other band ever, pretty sure about that. Unbelievably talented and flawed, drugs and booze. Watch it

    Okay my friend, if you like MoTown, soul or even jazz you will love that show. Even if you don't it is a great human interest story, interviews of the actual people involved. Some white some black and then Joan Osborne singing like an angel also. Okay ttyl, be well.

    Yeah you would think so but we have W Houston, Michael Jackson and a few others if I could remember. But that was a plane crash, also Patsy Cline I believe died in plane crash young too. Today it is drugs and booze killing them.

    right almost all of them are worth very little, however if you are lucky enough to have some of the early Beatles in good shape both cover and record, we are talking about many thousands. The white album I believe is one, and others too. Not only Beatles but some of the other 60 and 70 bands. Even some 45 are worth a little. But like you said most are next to worthless. You can buy a book telling you what is what with 45 and albums.

    I have an album from my parents that is going for 3 or 4 hundred on Ebay. I will not sell it though, mom and dad are gone so I have that to remember them. I play their old records once in a while and it brings me back to when they were alive. If you have your parents treasure every minute with them, because some day most likely they will only be memories. And it comes sooner than you would think.
