For Texile. De-STACK your 45's just filing them vertically will keep them in better shape than stacking them. Never stack. also keep them away from any form of heat and put them in plastic sleeves if poss.

lately I am trying to find these (Johnnie Mercer)

I only hear that story about cd's that were produced in the 80s, mostly in hot environments. I seem to remember Zack had some problems with his early discs a while back, but maybe I made that up.

No you did not make that up Teiz, and I am impressed by your retention of brain cells! Back when I lived in beastly Ouagadougou, a few of them (maybe a dozen out of 500) began to look like ant farms, for some reason a lot of my Neil Youngs on Reprise. Maybe the quality of the manufacture varies. In any case I have not had the problem as much recently. I think texile is right when she says the CD was falsely pitched as a more durable alternative to vinyl, but I don't think they just wear out with age. My first ever CD from before I had a player even in 1987 was Animals by Pink Floyd. That disc still looks and plays fine.

I ditched my vinyl in the late 80s when my turntable broke, no one would fix it, and I couldn't find another for sale. What choice did I have?

Only a crowd can make you feel so alone.

the only time i buy vinal records is at yard sales if they are in somewhat decent condition. maybe i told you folks this story before but 2-3 summers ago i found jethro tull's agualung record in great shape and when i looked inside i saw that the origonal lyric sheet was still in there and also in almost perfect shape. what can i say, she wanted 50 cents for it and i was able to haggle it down to a quarter. that was the last used record i have bought to this day. i can't remember the last brand new record i bought. one thing i wished i had done was stock up on a few of the some girls record because i hear they are worth a decent penny these days. i own 40-50 record today and some of the better ones if you will are [and in great shape] born to run, axis bold as love. sticky fingers w/the real zipper, the cut corners lp of thru the past darkly. i have them just to keep, i never play them because i don't have a turntable

Are you fucking serious?
