SPECIAL HANDBOOK

CD vs VINYL?
From a udiscovermusic article:
...the recent vinyl resurgence has led him to consider just why vinyl means so much to people.“These are my theories,” Henry Rollins tells Sound Of Vinyl, the online vinyl store for whom he is a curator. “Vinyl is a physical thing in the world. It becomes a part of your life, like a family member. Because now you have to lug it around and you have to take care of it. You’re responsible for this thing. You can’t loan it to a friend because it’s going to come back with a dinged corner…“With a CD, you scratch ’em up, they still play,” he continues, adding, “The artwork’s so small, you don’t really look at it because you don’t have a magnifying glass handy, and it’s not a substantial thing that you paid for… And the fact that vinyl is delicate, it’s a fragile thing that is easy to harm – and if you care at all, you’re kind of in for a penny, in for a pound.”Rollins also extols the virtues of vinyl’s sound quality – and the thrill that a first listen to something can give you. “After you hear how good it sounds, and how much fun it is to get the record when it comes out… you’re like, ‘Man, I’m so happy I scored this.’ Cartwheels on the way home. That joy, and just how good it sounds when you play it back, I think it just becomes a real analogue part of your life… Vinyl to me is just more of a human investment in yourself, in the listening experience.”
