Much more to the vinyl than just the sound. It's a nostalgic derivative of one of the greatest explosion in music history. It's the art work on the covers, to the pop, click, and hiss, that to a young teenager experiencing the music explosion of the era that made no difference in the experience to not only the music but the culture that came with it. The hippie movement, Woodstock et all. Something that todays teen's never experienced . Of course as we grew older the more critique we have become in music, and the reproduction thereof; but to me the vinyl era encompassed and shaped our disposition more than anything I can think of.
