Not having had a turntable for a long time (20+ years), we were given my mum’s old one over the Christmas period as they had invested in a new music centre/hifi. 

Well - set up today, we’ve had a lovely afternoon reliving our youth of the 80’s playing our singles which were packed away in the loft.  Now retrieved the albums from the garage but they’re in a sorry state so not sure if they’ll play🤔

Have to say loads of good memories, but gosh we did also buy some rubbish 😂.

I passed on all our old LPs and singles to our son who likes  to collect "vinyl" but he was not impressed with our careless garage style storage!

My collection era conatined Beatles and Leonard Cohen, to mention a couple and OH had a good Led Zeppelin LP (well at least the cover looked good. wink)

I had some from my parents too, all given away now and I just ask Alexa to play things I like. laughing

I have boxes of old LPs up in the loft - not sure if they're even playable any more. Every time LPs appear on programmes like Bargain Hunt Mrs M suggests I take them to the auction house just up the road - they do have specialist sales from time to time. A lot of them have been replaced by CD versions but I do still have a hankering to listen to some of the old stuff from time to time - would have to be when I'm in the house on my own mind you! laughing

Similar here, I was bought one of the stripped back vinyl players, after I used it I realised it was of its day I thought I had tinnitus, geez it was rough. Downloads on a pod or smart phone with air pods or cans just can’t be beaten for purity. I guess I’m not into nostalgia🤷🏻‍♂️🙁

That's not nostalgia. Come back when you've got some shellac 78's.

My parents still have some - most notably ‘The pub with no beer!’

They also loads of LP’s that they listen to regularly including lots of Readers Digest boxed sets 😊

remember you can get a turntable that links to a computer and will transfer your songs to MP3 files, then fit all your LPs onto a thumb sized memory card.

Post edit like this:

Convert tracks into digital files via USB onto your PC or Mac with the included ION audio EZ conversion software

Off topic but I'm doing the same with all my old 35mm slides to jpgs.

I wish that had been around before I sold all my 45s and LPs from the 60s and 70s.😕
