Default It's official - LPs are on the up again!

Well OK, that's what my mate SN says on the basis that he bumped into a
friend buying vinyl in a charity shop at the same he (SN) was buying vinyl
in the same charity shop! :-)

Actually, he does say that more people are mentioning it in the shop lately
and buying needles - which they apparently do rather a lot of! (There was
summat else interesting/relevant he said that I would have mentioned here,
but it's gone now!)

Anyway, he brung me a bag of odds and sods: James Last, Latin Brass, Stereo
Samplers &c. - almost all virtually *unplayed* the other night when he
returned my spare Lenco deck, which I had replinthed in a kitchen worktop
sample:

Earlier this evening, I slung it down unchecked/unexamined, hooked it up to
me new (but *slated*, apparently) Denon SS amp's 'Phono In' and popped a
record on.....

Wah! Bliss! (Even with a poop Goldring G800 and the record dragging against
the curtain - see pic!)

I don't give a rat's what levels they achieve with modern 'music replay'
technology in the future - *nothing* will ever shift the humble LP from my
No. 1 slot! :-)
