Great post mate, thanks for sharing your story. It’s great to be able to listen to old recordings isn’t it.
I’ve only recently got all of my old vinyls back out and purchased my first turntable in over 30 years. I am really enjoying re-discovering all my classic rock and metal albums again. It’s keeping me entertained for hours (although I’m not sure my wife is a fan!) 🙂

Brilliant article mate, brought back so many memories for me, I first started recording off the radio and TV in the sixties on my dad’s Grundig reel to reel tape recorder, graduating to a Ferguson cassette recorder in the seventies, in late 69 I sat listening to John Peel on a Saturday afternoon where I heard Hendrix’s Star Spangled Banner from Woodstock, luckily the Grundig was by my side and my mind was totally blown listening to it for the first time, my tapes are all gone now but not before I bought a gizmo that let me record them onto i tunes and then my i pod, along with my 300 odd albums, obviously I’ve still got those, took me six months to do it, reading your article brought it all back and made this 70 year old rocker happy
