When? In 1960 when Canada Post shattered on delivery by throwing the package on the doorstep all my childhood post war England original priceless Miller shellac 78s. I thought--all the the way from the UK, and destroyed by a postal worker in the last 2 feet. If they were vinyl that would not have happened. That is when I knew vinyl was better. 57 years ago. The more things change, the more they don’t.
When and how did you, if at all, realize vinyl is better?
Of course I know my own story, so I'm more curious about yours. You can be as succinct as two bullets or write a tome.
