Vinyl Lives On

while my CD collection continues to grow, I still have all the vinyl LP's and 45's that I began to collect when I was a child. And I still play them from time to time, and continue to get a kick out of some of the album cover designs. Does anyone else still keep your vinyl handy?

I have still have mine and would love to play them but I cannot seem to find a replacement needle for my record player. I have looked around somewhat and cannot seem to find one. But yes I have all my old records with the sleeves. You are right some of the artwork on them takes me back in time.

I am a little young to have really had a vinyl collection of my own growing up, but I am proud to say that my Beatles vinyl collection now numbers 5 or 6. I think I used my parents' vinyl records more than they did! I have a pretty large collection of 45s as well. I think they have much better sound and "tone" than CDs do.

Try an online search of the make and model (maybe even the serial number) of your record player. That may lead you to a site where you can get a replacement needle. Also, I've had good luck with the Radio Shack retail chain when it came to replacement needles for my stereo.
