Here's an interesting assortment that takes you right back to the 70's and drops you off at the beginning of the British invasion.

Enter me. We have a huge collection of vinyl. If we super love a new CD, I will often buy it in vinyl as well. They sound so much better. :)

Don't want these records -- love saying 'records'! -- but I do want to point out that I was reading the newest Dwell mag and who do I see on page 36/37???

Congrats Maxwell on this piece!!!

My 24 year old son is a graduate of Savannah College of Art and Design but is spinning records at a disco to make living expenses. Could he have one ( or more) of your albums or maybe you could give him a job. PLEASE!

Can't say that I've heard of Heaven 17, but the other two are great. Now if I could just find them on cassette...

My boyfriend is talking about flying to California so that he can gather up all of his old lps (there in my mom's garage) and drive them back home in a rental van. I think this is a bad idea. I want him to win these records and start a chain reaction whereby he does not have to do anything and lp records will simply come to him.

My boyfriend would love these! Most people love to sit out on the patio in the evening (like me), but he prefers to go down to the basement and listen to music.

You should reconsider and keep Heaven 17. But if not, is it spoken for already?
