Ah, vinyl. I still have all my LP's, EP's and 45's. I've made tapes of the really important ones, but I love them all and refuse to get rid of them. I have aboout 500, and still buy when the mood strikes me. All are in primo condition, and it brings back such good memories to listen to them.

If you want to cut out some of the "deep fried" noises, polish your record with car wax. It helps fill in those little pits and scratches.
