I'm converted to CDs now, but I still love vinyl. I have a turntable connected to my system and I play my 45s and LPs regularly. In fact, I've gone even further back in time over the last couple of years and started buying 78s via ebay. Although they're a somewhat lo-fi listening experience (it sounds like someone's cooking up a full English in the background on some of them!), I feel like I'm holding a piece of history in my hands. I can just imagine them slipping off the presses in some record plant in Chicago or Los Angeles, or spinning on a gaudy, chrome-plated jukebox in Harlem. There's a certain romance and magic about them that CDs, MP3s, downloads etc just can't match!
