Now that you guys suddenly care about vinyl, have this one.Again it’s like coffee or pipe smoking. Vinyl is about the sound, sure, but you can replicate that sound perfectly pops and all (though no play of an old record sounds exactly the same each time; it might skip in the same place but never exactly the same way - my favorite song as a wee lad had an entire verse I never knew about until I got the song on cassette!).
The thing about vinyl is ritual. You have to open the player, unlock the head, place the record down, position the head, and hit the go button. These are all ritualistic steps that greatly enhance what you’re doing in a way that hitting play on a phone will never meet.
Even waking up to the record needle bouncing off the end repeatedly is a sound and experience you can’t really replicate in any other way.
It's a record of Russian folk songs I picked up from the library and digitized. Actually quite good! (Uploaded post-processed opus files to not take up much attachment space in case no one cares, PM me for full FLAC recordings if interested).
