Do you love vinyl?

Hip Priest wrote:Loved vinyl back in the day, late sixties early seventies. Loads of great 6th form memories. (Not just about the vinyl either, but that's another story). Love old gatefold record sleeves and there's lots of nostalgia and all that but I reluctantly moved to CD sometime in the early 90's and there's no way I'd go back now.

A few points to bring to your notice about this clown, he washes the record in tap water with all its chemicals,he strokes the record with his wedding ring on, he drops the record into a plate rack risking damage. He is a buffoon of the highest order. I have a record cleaning machine I use the correct cleaning fluid no alcohol you can use distilled water with it a tiny amount though and you don't need to clean records for years. I still collect vynal even though my preferred method is CD. 1 I just can't be bothered with the hassle of it and 2 my CD player is the best I have heard. There is also a so called expert telling people to wash their vynal with hand soap and rub it in then dry with a soft towel

I think we are talking about different things? I'm talking vinyl and you are talking vynal. What is vynal? Is this a music source for dyslexic's?

Might be mate,but I'm sure they weren't the original artists. I'll do a bit of research on it. My mind might be playing tricks.
Again.
I do remember that the centre of the disc had a removable spindle adaptor,like the one illustrated.
