Funny --- ish ---- that sometimes realworld parameters intervene in the pursuit of Analog Lp playback nirvana.I knew it, but didn't fully realize it until now, that there was a kind of "mixed messages" thing happening in my personal evolution.
About the time, oh, mid-college or thereabout, when one is say, 18 or 19, you may be just on the cusp of realizing what a fundamental thing music is, what an energizing or mind-bending influence, what a comfort when you're down, what a well of unending discovery it can be...
If you've had a long history already with playing your pop-tunes and hits in record form from early age, you begin to understand the mechanics of the process --- ie clean records + reasonable stylus = ever-improving appreciation, deeper understanding, and overall much more smooth of a ride.........
However, right at this critical moment in your developement, other critical parameters walk right in the door, unannounced, with a slightly different wiggle.
It's somewhere around this point that you also begin to put together the equation ::
Music-that-shakes-hips + some chemical conviviality = a new horizon of getting-laid-more-than-once-in-a-row .....I think for myself, and maybe some others here, that second equation produced a sea-change that didn't really do much for record life, didn't include stylus-fluid, and probably wouldn't allow us to come around to a sane way of caring for the musical... uhm,, momentum in our lives.. well into the era of Cd.
By then all the realizations were down the experiential drain anyway.
But I do think a lot of us would have been well-behaved converts to respectable Lp care and treatment ... were it not for those intervening socio-biological developments.
For those of you who have well-cared for records from teenage days, well, something's wrong with that picture.
Or you're a classical fan.
Or something.J.D.
