YES, definitely YES.
I am old enough to remember when music was recorded in STEREO. RECORDS were recorded in stereo, mostly. That means you had some of the instruments and singers coming from one speaker, and the other music was coming from the other speaker. It was a great blend, and if you had your room setup right, it was magic. Granted, CD's are cleaner, until they get scratched, but I just love taking out the record, remembering what I was doing back then, and who I was with. Nostalgic. Never give up my records.
Of course if we get talking Reel to Reel, all bets are off.
