Let It Be, for sure, The Who at Leeds and Who’s Next on vinly. 60s goes up to Jimi, so Band of Gypsies, Cry of Love, oh, and Nick Drake. But these are all fag-end frankies, aren’t they, not really 1970s?
I do hav […] -

LPs… 400.
70% 60s / 30% pre-60s.I’ve got more music I can shake a stick at. Even with those slight numbers, huge swathes of it hav […]

Ironically it was the Record Collector, more than any other publication I remember reading, that was at the forefront of the “CD good, LP passé” angle.
Now the holier than thou, born again, Record Collector come […]

No, I think you could right about the volume.

I didn’t get on the CD bus until 1997, and so I have only ever really known it as a relatively cheap option. Not just second hand either, in 1997/8 the earliest CDs I bought (the Byrds’ reissues, Them, Kinks, Mon […]

Yeah, but the format in which people access music is not going to be exactly as it is now. How do you know that that there Cloud, when it changes to something else, which it will, will automatically store what it […]

It doesn’t really undermine my point.

I don’t even know what streaming is! If it’s “Alexa play…”

He never overdid the vinly angle either.
Sometimes he’d play records, sometimes CDs.
If Ace, Bear Family or Trojan had put out a quality CD, he’d usually play four tracks from it, plugging it all the way, and […] -

So much obscure stuff, I’m rather pleased I don’t take part in it.
Begs the question, what’s obscure?Ah ha, Pointless.

No way! I’ve got a signed publicity postcard somewhere courtesy of a CD win.

Really good points (not the being called a bitch bit!).
I really liked John Peel, with all his varying accents, varying classes, and varying football teams.
