Did you ever think digital and analog would exist side by side the way it is now

Don't forget 8-track

I never considered selling my LP music library just because the CD was introduced, and wasn't about to not buy new music simply because it was offered on CD only. So yes, I knew analog and digital would co-exist side-by-side, in my home anyway.

I never thought of selling my 3K vinyl  gems either,  when I was forced back from Germany I just gave them all away .

We vinyl junkies had a field day at garage sales and thrift stores when the "Perfect Sound Forever" came out. People were dumping their record collections as if they were the plague. The Mercurys, the RCA's, the Westminster's! Everything from mint jazz albums, to rare classical was popping up all the time. No more though. Glad I was able to find more than my share. Would you believe things like a mint, six-eye stereo copy of Miles Davis's "Kind of Blue" and a mint copy of Dean Martin's "Dream With Dean" came out of the Salvation Army thrift store on the same day? Fifty-cents each. Dem were da daze.
