I think analog records are fresh to them because they have no experience of owning music in physical form.

Most people I know don't have record players. And most people I know use the records as convenient and inexpensive room decorations because they like the cover art. And that includes me.

We got rid of them 20 years ago. That was quickly followed by CDs. Everything is now digitalized and I have so much more space.

I know a few people with turntables. One is a friend who buys and sells vinyl records as a hobby and makes a bit of cash. He told me some covers were discontinued in some countries for different reasons - Appetite for Destruction and Blind Faith being two of the most famous ones. They are collectible.

I miss buying vinyl records. The artwork of the covers was part of the joy. Some iconic images - Abbey Road, The Dark Side of the Moon, Never Mind the Bollocks etc

Records aren't a physical form of music any more than an iPod nano; just an older form of storage.

I loved the smell of them. Such interesting nyoiiiiiii!

My viginarecords collection is outstanding, but mildew is an issue.

Album sleeves were a good size and shape for artwork, but CDs were a better media. Vinyl was initially rebooted as a hipster fashion statement but has caught on in a wider market. Those that are now buying vinyl may be a little less enamoured with it in a few years time, unless it is now warp-proof. At least it is a physical form, which is important if you want cultural products to survive.

Record collectors should check out the relatively small number of postage stamps that were issued that were also playable records. Some of these are now quite expensive. I think Bhutan issued the first in 1973. Spain and Switzerland have produced some more recently. North Korea and Bhutan have also issued CD-ROM-based stamps.

Music needs a physical medium if it is to survive, historically (and if we are to have proper record collections). I will append below a repeat of my Lego-based version.

I did a design brief a while back that would have embedded a PROM or EPROM in a 1x1x1 Lego piece. The base plate would have WiFi/PSU or a USB cable. The Lego would form a memory array. Your music collection would be visible, physical and rather cool. Buy the Lego version and you can transfer a digital copy to any device you own. The bonus here is that the system could be global and work just like an external hard drive. Other physical/digital hybrids have tended to be software/region/device dependent.

Records are big and bulky, easy to scratch, melt in the sun, no need for them, they are not pretty much a waste and a useless relic in that form, but at the same time, you do get a better dynamic, richness, depth, and overall sound range than on a CD, Vinyl is a lossless format. The pressings are made straight from the masters and contain all of the detail the artist intended. As far as whether it sounds better to you or not depends on your depth of hearing and knowledge of music as well as how they are played and recorded if you take art for example Picasso was just a phenomenal artist and one of the best for his time, I personally don't understand what the fuss is about, doesn't look like anything special to be, could never tell the difference as to what art looks good or what doesn't, but when it comes to, an entirely different ball game and while both music and are subjective as to how people see and hear them, but to the connoisseur, there is a distinct difference, but in order to experience these subtle sounds you would need to have a high-quality record player.

Here are a few of the best record players that money can buy that will get you the most awesome sound quality found on vinyl and that would blow any CD out of the water.
