Hooray for you, EnglishLad!  It's nice to hear someone sing the praise of
vinyl.  I still by vinyl records, too; usually once a month or so.  My vinyl
Who collection is, surprisingly, still growing.

I resisted CD players for a few years & then broke down & got one.  And 
of  course now I have a shitload of CD's stacked around my apartment.
BTW, I resisted DVD technology for a while, too, but I got one for Christ-
mas so now the DVD's are gonna start piling up.  Ever feel like a controlled
consumer?

I've got dozens of those old Polydor European Who pressings on vinyl.
Some are shite but others are gems.  I gobbled those up at record conven-
tions back in the 80's & 90's.

Do people ever look at you funny if you tell them you still buy records?
