Someone Else Might Want Them
The revival of the vinyl LP is a very interesting phenomenon. I am not sure why people who did not grow up with the LP being the only option for music ,are now buying LPs. I'm sure happy about it - it has created a large market in used LPs. Now I have somewhere (Reverberation Vinyl for me) to take the albums I don't listen to anymore, and swap them for ones I want.
I started listening to my albums that I have not touched in maybe 35 years, to weed out the ones I still liked and the ones that need to be "recycled."
It is an interesting voyage through memories, listening to these past favorites. I recalled places and people I have not thought of in years. Nostalgia.
Well, here are some examples of albums I decided to keep.
A Few Interesting Oldest Keepers
One of the first albums I played was Traffic's "The Low Spark of High heeled Boys." Such a unique sounding album. Is it blues or rock or jazz or what?
I still like it.
The first Black Sabbath album. You know, it is pretty good. Plus, the memories attached to it just makes it a keeper.
Pink Floyd's "Piper at the Gates of Dawn" is a keeper because it is still enjoyable as long as you grasp the creepy, weird, psychodelic, electronic sound of the middle 1960s.
