The Screwtape Letters – C. S. Lewis (1942)
Vinyl records are making a comeback, which just goes to prove that saying the, if you wait long enough everything will come back into fashion. Thanks to my husband we have a really great stack system (or whatever they call them these days) on which we periodically play selections from the 500+ LPs that grace our purpose-built shelves.
It is however, funny going through them and seeing just how much our tastes have changed. I am sure that there was a very good reason for me purchasing, The Best of the Wombles or those tedious Now (insert number here) compilations that we know realise sounded absolutely nothing like the artist in question, regardless of the claims that they were original recordings.
There are naturally some that still push all my buttons. Van Morrison, David Bowie, The Moody Blues, Status Quo, Mike Oldfield, and all of Jean Michel Jarre’s albums, not just Tubular Bells. There are also some new additions as my tastes have developed … Run Rig, Andre Rieu to name a couple, but as yet they are still on CD’s even though I know they would sound so much better on vinyl.
