....how there are many collections of vinyl living in used record stores all over the map from people who either never played them or were well kept and played only a few times on good rigs.
And searching through vinyl bins filled with all kinds of good stuff is like looking for gold and hidden treasures. Never mind the badly stored or played crap. A knowledgeable person can spot the crap. There are some people who can examine grooves and tell you what song or work it is.
And after a few hours of infectious inspection take home 100 bucks of numerous things (maybe 30) with liner notes you can read, foldout album covers, artwork, and even some with pull outs. Some are still sealed or imports never obtainable!
And just think of all that exercise you are getting in the search instead of sitting on fat asses with a smart phone or computer, and streaming things and playing with buttons. People that are interested in LEGACY and what you might leave behind to children or donate to a worthy cause.
And newbee's looking for info and going to places like Audio Asylum, asking questions or wondering why your Uncle's TT with a new $400 cartridge sounds as good or better than CD's.
Yes, it's a minority thing at best now. Just take them all and burn them in a giant bonfire and say goodbye to history. Oooops, that's dangerous so maybe just set outside on the curb or throw them out. Who needs them anyway. It's all such a pain in the ass.
