Do you still have vinyl records?

I am a packrat. I once kept everything that anyone gave me for any reason. Once I began weeding out my collections, my vinyl was the hardest to part with. My daughter has my collection now, but I think I may get a couple of them back. Although I know that I will never play them again, there is something about vinyl that makes it hard to part with. Do you think that people with 8-tracks have the same problem?

Ah, er... for purely humanitarian reasons, I think I should mention some of those things are worth a fortune on ebay. They're also very hard to replace, because the CD explosion tended to edit what remained available. The record industry is probably the only industry on Earth that really doesn't understand that music lovers really do have an attention span longer than their inventories... I've got a few hundred of the things, and they're old friends. The only real behavioral effect is that every time someone throws out a stereo around here, I souvenir the needle.

I have given away several, but I have a pretty huge collection from 60s thru 80s. And it includes disco to classical. I have pretty wide taste. My husband who is older than I am also had some. At Christmas in 2005 I bought a new machine that plays records, cassettes and cds. We have been really enjoying the record part of it.

Yes, I do still own a few of my vinyl records including 45's which are mostly stored at my mother's house in boxes collecting dust. I do know that they are highly sought after now, and to be honest they do provide a better quality sound in my own opinion. Cheers!
