- Vintage Vinyl and City Reflections
Remember these? Some of my favorite childhood memories include vinyl records.
“It was so exciting to go to the record shop and buy a piece of vinyl and hold it, read the liner notes, look at the pictures. Even the smell of the vinyl.” – Martin Gore
For those who don’t know, Martin Gore was with Depeche Mode.
Oh yes! Still have most of my old 45’s and albums!
It is awesome that you still have them Susan! I don’t know what happened to all of ours, but I do remember how thrilled I was when I received my very own record player for my birthday one year!
Of course I remember vinyl, still have some from the late 60’s…I would have some from the 50’s, but at the time, they made great frisbees. š
Ahhh yes! Frisbees! Great memories!
LOVED VYNYL,VERY COOL.
Apparently it is making a come back Mark! There are vinyl stores all over NYC!
Wish I still had my old albums and 45s. Long story there! They say they’re coming back. I find that quite interesting!
They are coming back Linda…collectible items for sure! Stores are popping up all over! Wish I still had mine too!
Great looking store! We have a really large one in the city – it’s pretty fantastic!
Fun stores to visit and browse for certain Mike!
Just the sort of thing we threw away….little did we know!
I know David, me too! Little did we know they would make a come back!
I still have many LPs from my young time. And i have still many 45’s but these are in a bad condition with too many scratches! And two years ago my wife and Santa brought me for Christmas a new record player…it’s a great emotion to listen to the old records…

It is awesome that you still have the LPs and 45s Robert! And to have a record player too…some great listening!
I wish I had saved all of my vinyl, especially the albums. The cover artwork was so amazing.
I feel the same way Elisa! The album covers are amazing pieces of art – really inspiring!
I remember buying the latest hot new single on 45!
Sadly I sold all my old vinyl including several hundred rock albums many years ago.
Same here Phil!
We discovered a diner in Abilene, KS–Sweet Daddy’s–and the walls are covered with posters, maps, 50s-60s magazine covers, and SO many 45s. We love to have breakfast, read titles and feel the years fall away! A stroll down memory lane, Robyn!
We love diners Marylin! When we travel, we always stop at diners to meet locals and get a feel for the local community. Sweet Daddy’s sounds so fun! Have a wonderful weekend! Robyn
It’s interesting to note how in this digital age vinyl still remains in demand. CD sales are declining yet vinyl sales continue to grow. Nothing like the sound and of course the fantastic art work.
Very true Mark! Interesting indeed….and such great sound and brilliant art work! Have a fabulous week!
Somehow, through all the many moves in my life, I have managed to keep my vinyl records and the thrill of putting that needle down, track after track, scratches and all, is enough to reduce me to tears. I love my records . . . sob!
That is so awesome Patti! You just pulled my heart strings!!! Blessings, Robyn
Oh yes, I do remember, and I still have most of mine.
This is a wonderful image, Robyn.
Thanks! You are lucky you still have them Lisa! They are making a come back!
I love this shot Robyn. This wild make a very cool poster.
Thanks Edith! I hadn’t thought about a poster, but you are right! That would be cool!
Still have my collection of vinyl, which, of course, includes Elvis. You can’t have a collection without Elvis. The only thing I don’t have is a turntable.
Of course, Elvis! We had may of those as well. Some of our favorites for sure! Those were the days! I’m so glad you still have your collection. Not sure what happened to ours.
Oh what is it about feeling so nostalgia, when you see these vinyl beauties?āŗ
Yes, Laurie, nostalgic! Have a beautiful day!
That quote is perfect … I do remember the thrill of a new album. In fact, I still have many of my old ones. Just sitting there …
Fun image!
Thanks Laurie! You must get a record player and enjoy the sounds of the vinyl!
