    Vinyl is cool because you have a chance to be more intimate with the music, really appreciate album artwork, and can't shuffle or skip songs easily.

    I just love to watch them spin, spin. And every time I putone on, my kids say, "Daddy, how does that work?'

    Or they ask me, "Daddy, why is Eddie Vedder black and white?" Meaning the white BS and the other black PJ vinyl we play.

    As many others have said, my dad had tons of great albums on vinyl when I was growing up. I used to dig through them and the collection ranged from the Beatles (of course), The Rolling Stones, The Who, Zeppelin, Simon and Garfunkle and a lot of Motown stuff as well.

    I rehash those memories almost every time I spin spin a vinyl. I plan on passing my PJ vinyl down to my yet to be son (fingers crossed) some day.

    Thanks for the opportunity.

    Good give away man.

    Lots of people say vinyl sounds better......I cannot tell the difference, other than the occasional hiss and pop. For me, I just like vinyl just for the novelty. I love opening up a big lp and looking at the cover and reading the liner notes while it spins away.......and then having to flip it over and do the whole process again.

    I love vinyl because I love music and people before me who loved music listened to music on a record player. That and albums are just beautful pieces. I love hearing the needle drop and the little imperfections when records are played.

    My parents loved vinyl - and when I tried to convince them to start buying CD's - they didn't - and now that they're gone - I listen to their records (some of them - not all) - and it reminds me of them.

    And of course "the sound"

    Cheers. Thanks for doing this!

    when i was a kid i had a collection of storybooks that came with records. i used to listen to those like some kids watched tv or played atari. i'd lay on the floor and listen for hours at a time. i basically learned to read by following along with the storytellers... "you willl know it is time to turn the page when you hear the chimes ring, like this, (chimes)"... taking care of my records was the first responsibilty i remember learning and probably the only one that stuck. i was only five at the time, but i felt like a grown up.

    i recently passed my childhood collection of storybooks and 45's on to my seven year old. i'm sure she could have handled them sooner, but i wasn't ready to part with them just yet. it took some time for me. eventually the thought of her not knowing about vinyl became too much and i caved. we listen to them togetther and i still love to play dj, but make no mistake, they belong to her now. (i really need to drive this point home, as i am still trying to convince myself.) i know the time we share spinning records and following along in storybooks is time that she will remember and i hope she will pass it along to her kids too.

    keep spinning everyone!
