Well I don't think I qualify as a vinyl nut quite yet but to answer your first question. Yes, it is definitely worth it. There is a depth to the music that seems lost when you play a CD. I think if you take a short trip over to Beverly Records;11612 S. Western, Chicago IL you will be rewarded. Just go to the male vocal section right in the middle.
Tuberoller and I spent the all day yesterday going from one record store to another. The shopping was interrupted only twice; first for what I now know is a world famous rainbow cone and second for the best hamburger on the south-side. Tubes will have to tell you the name as I was so full after eating one with the fries that I cannot remember. Well it came to me Top Notch Beefburger.
Before you go I would strongly recommend that you make a list or you will end up like me. Beverly records was the final store of the day and when I saw all those records from floor to ceiling in room after room I was like a kid in a toy store. All memories of what I was looking for vanished from my mind as I went from section to section. Another thing that I found that threw me off is that there are so many titles that never made it to CD.
We ended up at my house and listened to some of my recent acquisitions. We listened to some of my recent $0.33 finds. I found a bunch of water damaged LP's at a local thrift shop that were unplayed but water had ruined the bottom inch or so of the jacket. Some cleaning and they were good as new.
It was a great day.
