And to think my Dad literally threw away his huge [for the time] "records" [LP's and EP's] because they were taking up space, because he thought CD's sounded "better" and because according to him - the turntable was a "nuisance" to use. How little he knew!!!
He had no takers too. That is why he threw them away :lol:Your Dad sounds like me, only I had no takers for my records so they were stuck with me, I now realize how lucky I am.
This article provides a good reason for collecting, listening to and preserving music recorded in analogue form be it vinyl, cassette or tape. The same recordings may not be available on digital media. Hence the importance of private as well as of public collections of recorded music and speeches. We can all contribute in our small way depending upon our discretionary income and space available.

Our collections of recorded music should be seen as a precious heritage that must be preserved.
