The concept of ordering a record, then returning to the store a week later to collect it (if it was in stock!) seemed to become very old-fashioned almost overnight. That being said, the sheer wealth of music available for immediate discovery online is never-ending and it can be in your ears (purchased or streamed) instantly - although it certainly ain't the same without the artwork. <br /><br />Looking forward to your post Old Pa, when perhaps we can return to this discussion?The Swedehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13237251779370596904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7522017207239490912.post-61975006246544603412013-03-06T10:35:46.611+00:002013-03-06T10:35:46.611+00:00I agree totally with SB ever since Napster the mag...I agree totally with SB ever since Napster the magic of going to a record store has sadly gone. I remeber wishing for payday so i could by 1 or with a push 2 LPs. I new every word every scratch every hiss. The art work was important too. Now everything is avaiable and the magic is gone. I have just prepared a post for next week about my first Boot..with a little nudge for Mr S.

Mind you, it's nice to have access to the music without having to pay out tons of dosh. What do you think? Do you think there's an argument for saying we have TOO MUCH music now?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7522017207239490912.post-34967862343154164112013-03-03T13:25:06.569+00:002013-03-03T13:25:06.569+00:00Yes good idea for a post...got it in 1970 the same...Yes good idea for a post...got it in 1970 the same day I saw 'Don't Look Back' in Glasgow, they were playing it before the film. Afterwards gor talking to the guys responsible for bringing the film and he had a few copies to sell. It was like being handed some stardust.

I must turn this moderate thing off. <br /><br />I'm glad you enjoyed the tunes. I believe Ms Hunt has an autobiography available which I must check out. She was on the scene at a very interesting time.

I've never knowingly heard this album but the odd thing is that I can recall hearing about Marsha Hunt way, way back in the 70's and have never, until this day, had another thought about her. I find it astounding how these things can come spinning back out of nowhere after such a long time. Thank you, sir. <br />The Swedehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13237251779370596904noreply@blogger.com
