A "Best of Bob Marley" was one of my fist vinyls I had as I bought my first turntables... I think it was a present from a girl... Yeah, vinyl... long times ago... What a expensive pain it was... And when you bought a scratch tool on vinyl for 17 Euros, just because of 3, 4, 5 samples on it, you bought it twice... One to scratch it down at your home/practise, the other one for "public usage only". So you ended up at almost 40 Euros because of a few samples... And you had to put stickers on the grooves, to guide you to the needed place/groove - so a big amount of grooves weren't playable sometimes... or you say "no stickers", but had to search a long time until you found the right spot... Damn... what times...
I could praise the digital times for DJing - but on the other side, the warm sound of a vinyl with a thick needle spike for listening purposes and this niiiice crackeling sound or this loop at the end "pock, pock, pock"... this is gone... Yeah... times changed...
