Recently I was going through my parents old records from the 1970s and 80's. Man they were cool! You can't help but admire the artwork on the record covers. A lot of work went into designing the cover art. Fortunately today we can still get hold of old vinyls and even record players. The sound quality is to me, personally, better than that of CDs. You hear that crackling sound as the needle delicately caresses the vinyl and it just gives it such an authentic sound. I suppose today technology geeks would disagree, and since I'm not one to really appreciate advancements in modern gadgets, there is something divine about vintage technology. Compare the effect of modern digital photographs to dark room developed photos taken with an old camera.The difference is immense.
Okay, I'm not going to replace my colour TV for a black and white one anytime soon, but there are still certain things we can appreciate that were created in the 'old days', and I'm so grateful that one can still get their hands on them these days. Newer is not necessarily better kids
