I miss my vinyl. Not exactly, but let me explain. Years ago I bought Ziggy Stardust on vinyl, that was about the only choice. I listened to it frequently and repeatedly. Then I bought a Walkman and wanted to take my vinyl with me, so I tinkered around (I'm a bit of an audiophile) and recorded all my vinyl to linear magnetic tape (cassette). Something happened during the recording to slow down the platter and give Bowie a slight defect for less than a second on "Five Years". It wasn't too bad. I listened to that for several years.
Somehow, during one of our married moves, all my vinyl got lost. And so I couldn't rip it to MP3 files. So I invested in iTunes, got the files and stuck them on my iPod.
And my brain can't hear "Five Years" without missing that little warble. OK, so it's not on my vinyl. But I still miss it.
