Your Best Vinyl Memory

Watching as a friend, that recently had made some good natured, but unbelieving comments about my vinyl rig, listed to The Beach Boys "Pet Sounds". Once he regained his composure he said that although he had heard the CD many times and that it was one of his favorites, "he had never heard THAT before."

Priceless!

Late 70's college listening to a fresh import vinyl recording of Yes' Close to the Edge while sharing 6 foot bong with fellow yesophiles. One of us (not me) had managed to earn enough summer money to purchase a 100+ wpc Pioneer receiver and we all thought it was the cat's whiskers. I think the speakers were Advents or Altecs, very popular back then. The deal back then was to place the speakers in opposite corners of the room firing toward the center for "surround." True audiophilic blasphemy but what the heck did we know back then?

Switched On Bach + headphones when I was a wee lad.

listening to Thin Lizzy and Queen in the basement while playing pool with childhood friends, mom stomping on the floor, then I would turn it up
