| The Winter Brothers @roxy54 - usually these mini-fests were headlined by people like Fleetwood Mac, Peter Frampton, Scorpions, Grateful Dead, the Who, etc who are in a different league than the Winter Bros, at least in Oakland. | |

| Are You a Swifty? I'm 72 years old, and I say 'Good for Taylor Swift'! You could do a lot worse for the biggest pop star in the world. I get tired of the shots of her at football games, but that's not her fault. And she's getting some fans back into vinyl records..... | |

| Anthem Customer Service I could be mistaken, but my guess is that for every dissatisfied person who posts negatively about something, there are many, many times more satisfied people who don't bother posting.... | |

| Records and CDs @rvpiano - "Very few new titles are being released on records these days"? On what do you base that statement? Sales data would indicate otherwise, plus the fact that vinyl sales have been steadily increasing and new pressing plants are being o... | |
| Expectation and musical perception Makes sense to me, but it also seems to me that prior knowledge and expectation bias could change one's perception of anything, wouldn't it? | |
| Beatles CD box set Shame 'Yesterday and Today' doesn't have the butcher cover.... 🤣 | |
| Finally, Amazon Learns to Package Records. I've been buying LPs from Amazon for years; never once had a bent or damaged shipment.... | |
| Software to inventory vinyl collection Discogs is made for this.... I have my entire collection of LP's, CD's, and music DVD's cataloged there. It's very easy to show it to other people too if you want to - just give them your username and they can go to Discogs see what is cataloged u... |
