Vinyl and Technology

I love to hear a record playing. The enjoyment of pulling a record out of its sleeve, laying the needle down, the full rich sound that follows, the cover itself usually a work of musical art. I also love how I can hear virtually anything I want or can imagine through a Denon X5200 reciever via Internet radio, Bluetooth, Sirius, media server, Pandora or Spotify. I love the technology. It’s endless fun. Love my records too though. Love it all.

Guns and Roses – Paradise City Special collectors edition – Gun shaped picture disc

Guns and Roses – Paradise City Special collectors edition – Gun shaped picture disc

Another awesome Christmas present from my honey. B side is “Used to love her”. The gun shaped disc fits into a ‘holster’ sleeve. Came with regular 45 black vinyl with sleeve with same songs. This is awesome for the obvious cool packaging factor. Awesome to me because of who gave it to me.
