and the question and which (a) band or singer (a) of today that would look good with the resources of recordings of the past if a vinyl release. AMY WINEHOUSE is my answer, perhaps RADIOHEAD (I said maybe because they are really into technology and adapt do not know if the lack thereof)

I prefer the good old vinyls are 45 or not, what matters and hear the essence of music is the sound quality that unfortunately we do not have the CD

Spinning Frank Zappa's "Shut Up 'n Play Yer Guitar", a lovely way to wrap up this Christmas night.

Vinyl was my first love and it will be my last. :-)

I'm happy that young people don't let this beautiful form of music conservation die . new technics (e.g. mp3) may be convenient in normal course of life but worthless for collectors and real music lovers.

dead honest ! would you trade the turntable of against for a mp3-playstation?

Hi Olav, good to see that someone else is listening to Charley D. and Milo. I have discovered this little treasure years ago and it's still one of my "constant compagnons". sounds great on vinyl!

Just listening to Charley D. And Milo / Epic BN26533 from 1970. Great Cosmic Americana

Bloodshot are releasing double special edition albums of the Old 97's Wreck Your Life and Alejandro Escovedo's A Man Under the Influence, two wonderful records that can only sound better on vinyl.

Just found an original pressing of Sweetheart Of The Rodeo for $6. Best thing I've found in a long time

I finally got around to picking up Wilco (the album). I'll have to give the actual music a few spins, but on a vinyl product/packaging level, this is their best offering to date - and I am glad they keep getting better. The $20 price point is bit steep, in my opinion, but it is a nice package. The vinyl mastering is as good or better than Sky Blue Sky. Nice gatefold, with additional artwork on the internal sleeve, with another plain sleeve for actual use (wear and tear) and also a free copy of the album on cd. The Wilco store had enormous shipping fees, so best not to order there.

I buy vinyl when available. I like the inclusion of mp3s or cds to speed import but if they are not made available, I import the vinyl to AIFF and convert to AAC.

The mastering on the vinyl is important, and many releases have sibilance distortion to varying degrees that can be very annoying when it is overloaded (e.g. Andrew Bird's Armchair Apocrypha has quite a bit of sibilance distortion).

I only really stopped buying vinyl for the few years I was at college (88-92). Ironically, I was at college for the height of the cd era - and cds are very convenient.

I am glad that vinyl has become more readily available and convenient over the past few years.
