Great thread, Amelia. Ditch the disco dross, though.
Vinyl all the way for me. Every crackle and hiss means almost as much as the song. And I can't forget the C90s that I recorded from the tranny. I'm in the process of transferring all of them to computer as my car only has a USB port - not even a CD player. It'll take years as I've hundreds (5 or 6) of vinyl albums, EPs and singles from my youth plus a hundred or so cassettes and CDs. My collection runs from the late 50s to the mid 90s.
My first album was The Shadows (thought-provoking title) by The Shadows and must be one of my favourites - partly because in t' good old days you got a full album of new tracks - not filled out by 3 or 4 hit singles. My true all-time favourite is probably Solo Concert by Billy Connolly (The Jobbie Wheecha and The Crucifixion are standout tracks). My usual favourite is the one I'm currently playing - Brothers In Arms by Dire Straits.
Favourite album cover is probably Nursery Cryme by Genesis.
Back to business, though, and we can't afford to come back from Wales pointless, or that's what the rest of the season will turn out to be, despite Herr Wagner's optimism.
