Play mine every now and again, love it. I bet half the "unplayed" stuff on eBay isn't unplayed anyway, who's to know otherwise? Unless it's covered in scratches like.

Anyway, Michelle very, very kindly donated her copy to the charity that I volunteer for ... I've just put it on eBay, UK only because of postal issues. I know she's not played it because she told me when she bought it that she didn't have a record player.

(Cheeky PS, she's also crocheted some gorgeous throws for us that I'll be listing over the next few days.)

I've had brand new vinyls with scratches, so even then... One of the many reasons I'm not overly crazily in love with vinyl. I like it, especially as collectible physical objects, but am still a bit bemused by the format's resurgence in recent years. When it sounds good, it can be better than CD, especially after the 'loudness wars'. When it sounds bad, it can be worse than a low bit-rate MP3. High quality lossless digital audio FTW, IMHO. LPs, YMMV. TMA*!

Me too, I'd hate to sell it as an 'investment'.

Meanwhile, I'm enjoying the fact that I could be the only person with TWO copies of the vinyl Lipstick Traces under her roof.

And no, I'm not selling mine. I still stroke it now and again. mmmm, fuzzy ...

Ah I just like to look at and smell vinyl. Do play it now and again but I'm no audiophile, sometimes the difference isn't that obvious to me anyway.
