Aja left a long deep
33.33333 rpm scar.
So did Dire Straits- Love over Gold so full of pyrotechnics, rain and thunder
Dark Side of the Moon was worse, an amputation maybe... cutting away at my love for Meddle, Animals and more...
All of these and more were Audiophile darlings worn thin in the Eighties...
We had at the peak eight showrooms of gear. Vinyl was king and the lifeblood of the store and our customer’s addiction.
Of course we tried to stock fresh copies but they ended life worn out like a rust belt Ford Pinto. Washed and prayed over with a VPI deemed “ witch doctor “
For it’s renowned ability to raise some of the dead
- but not all.
So I tired of Peg, Deacon Blues and yes even Telegraph Road. Some thirty five years on they creep back slowly into my playlist, even LP ownership. And they make me smile....
