I find it amusing to see teens collecting vinyl records for quite some time. They are frequently seen on my store. It sounds strange or rather awkward to see them and asking me about these vinyls. They are from this IPod generation that I even don’t know how to operate it. I find it so strange but thanks to them because my business is still up despite of negative economic growth.
There are lots of people who are collecting or rather buying vinyl records now. Some of them buy just for the habit of curiosity. Well, I have live for 5 decades so it is so obvious to say that I am now 50 years old.
During my teens, I recall my brother and my father holding these black discs. You know that during Sundays my father will wipe these vinyl records with a nice cotton fiber cloth and he was so cautious on handling them. He removed his rings just to prevent his records from accidental scratches.
He wiped the grooves in circular motion. He placed the clean record on the turn table then sat on his couch listening to the hisses and shrieks. Then Bing Crosby’s voice will resonate on the air. I am not a techie geek but I know what an analog sound is. My ears were accustomed to the warm sound and life like sound of vinyl records.
This is one of the best qualities I like on record discs. They are really amazing. Vinyl covers too are a shocker to me they are really fantastic. This is one of the reasons why young teens turn to records collecting and even ask me for any rare vinyls. Actually there is this one bald with a green goatee asking me to him my rare vinyl records that I had kept for so many years. I decline him politely, stating that they have some sentimental value to me and very much part of my life.
I got eyes, ears, and nose but vinyl records are also a part of me.
