This amazes me (no really). By the time I got into music, people were
switching to cds. Right now I'm completely fascinated by vinyl and
like the sound so much better that I only listen to cd's at work.
I've picked up several Dylan albums and a bunch of older bluegrass and
old-timey stuff, plus some of my favorite punk/art punk from the late
70's and early '80's. I found a couple of bootleg vinyls (The Clash)
from '79 and '80. I know how people get cd and dvd boots, but what
was the deal with the vinyl? I'm imagining someone setting up a
little studio in their basement... They must have been incredibly
rare. Do you still have the vinyl?
