Yes Boys and Girls, in the old days, we had vinyl records! Big, black, with a hole inside, as big, or bigger than a restaurant pancace! You scratche it with a needle, and there the sound is! Today, I went in my hometown secondhand music store, and between the hip hop, and some allready outdated grunch music, I found a vinyl record, called:'the increadible Paco Pena" dated, 1968 I bought it, and with the treasure under my arm, I went to my home, and gone to the attick. There, under the christmas things, behind an old bike, there it was, a pick up! ( No boys and girls, not a kind of a truck, but a machine, just like a walkman, but thet 5 times bigger). I took the pick up down, undusted it, put the pluggs into my audio, and there it was, a marvelous sound! I have some tracks on cd, but the sound of the vinyl record is so much brighter! Never thought I look for any vinyl record anymore, but hearing this, I look for some more vinyl records! You sure don't have to leave it for the sound! greetings, Peter

Sounds fun, have to try it one day:-) Actually, my band was making 12" singles up to 1986 and I have a white label master copy somewhere. Now talk of pancakes has got hungry! quote: pick up in Engels it's "turntable"[;)]

Hi Peter, "The Incredible Paco Peña" was the first Flamenco LP I ever bought. I love that album. The Soleares at the start is truly wonderful. The Tientos are magic too. In fact I like all the tunes on that album. I think he was only 25 or so when he recorded it. I had the good luck of meeting him at Strathclyde University a few months later, where he gave a totally outstanding performance. When I was walking home later in the rain later, suddenly a taxi pulled up and Paco leaned out to ask if I needed a lift. I was only going to George Square, which was just about 200 yards away. But I accepted! LOL! Nice guy! cheers Ron

Unless you have owned a red and grey leatherette coverd "Dansette" that had a unique trait of dropping 3 or 4, 45rpm EP's at once and with more bounce than an Austin mini you have never experienced real sound. Dolby? Pah, not a patch on built in hiss and crackle. Unless you have owned a carboard record (square) that taught guitar when it wasn't stuck to the spindle and flying around chewing lumps out of the stylus, you have no real audio experience. When first confronted by woofers and tweeters I thought I had gone into a pet shop by mistake. Modernisation in audio was a "Bush" radiogram as big as a wardrobe and with a drop down lid that would flatten unwary fingers. Ah, those days of sound pioneering (((-: Jim

Thats funny that you mention records. I was in class the other day and my teacher was talking about records and asking if we had even seen them. I own two technic 1200 mk2's (not as vintage as yours but they do a good job none the less) and I have somewhere around two hundred records. I agree sound quality and size has improved with cd's etc but there is just something about feeling a record and watching it go round that makes me wish I had a record burner.

Well, Josh, A recordburner, that is a good idear! Probbably a smelly job! Peter.
