The great thing about vinyl is that if you wanted to get a decent-sounding cut, you could really only have 20 minutes max on each side.
It was so exciting to go to the record shop and buy a piece of vinyl and hold it, read the liner notes, look at the pictures. Even the smell of the vinyl.
On my record cover, you can barely see my face. I still think I look really geeky.
I grew up with vinyl records and remember the pleasure and the kind of buzz that I got from buying a beautiful vinyl record with the sleeve and the lyrics - all that kind of tactile experience that you could get from an old vinyl record.
I'd rather have vinyl and a download code than a CD any day.
I don't quite know what a record is anymore. I don't quite know how to describe it. Don't know how to define it yet, so I'm just letting it gestate, and grow and see if maybe I'll get a better sense of what a record is.
The first record I bought with my own money was Rio.
People often forget this - a vinyl album could only contain a maximum of 20 minutes per side!
A record isn't like a movie - you can get it together pretty fast.
