As a teenager me and my friends use to buy albums mostly Hiphop and R& B, because we DJ’d at house parties. When I joined the Service, I stop buying albums without a second thought because CDs was the new thing that promised better sound, portability and easy care.
My first direct comparison of vinyl and CD’s occurred when I was stationed at RAF Lakenheath back in the late 80s.
A friend I was picking up from his dorm room for a basketball game was playing some music (Jazz & Blues). I noticed that it was a record. As listed to the music, I said to him what’s up with the records.
He said because they sound authentic. I can’t recall all the records and CD’s we Compared. But what I do remember is on this one record we could hear the breathing in the mic and the creaking in the floor. Which the CD version did not have.
