I can still recall the exact time and place where I first heard that over the radio.I used to have the LP of that album, and I also have the CD. Yesterday I found a 24-bit 192kHz remastered version of the album. Have mercy!Just think of all the money we spent on LPs, cassettes and CDs and the equipment to play them on. But I understand vinyl is making a comeback.Agreed. So much obsolete equipment to play obsolete formats. It was stupid of me to buy CD versions of my favorite LPs, but I was swayed by the miraculous absence of snap, crackle and pop resulting from groove wear. Add together all the Betamax and VHS and Laserdisc players I've trashed, plus all the media that went with them. If I'd just stuck with vinyl and then jumped straight to streaming audio and video, I'd now be sunning myself on a beach in Barbados.

The ones that immediately spring to mind are the zip on Sticky Fingers (Rolling Stones), interchangeable inners and covers on Physical Graffiti (Led Zepellin) and Some Girls (Rolling Stones) and the hours of detection work provided by Sgt. Pepper.
