Maybe there should be a Betamax revival! Better picture quality than VHS, as my dad used to say to me as he sought to justify buying the wrong format!
Think that was my friends uncleA chap not long retired from work had quite an interesting selection on vhs.
But alas Sony charged too much for the license, so the cheap version won.Maybe there should be a Betamax revival! Better picture quality than VHS, as my dad used to say to me as he sought to justify buying the wrong format!
Had been thinking of getting my beloved a string vest. She's been feeling the cold a bit, here in the frozen wastelands of southern Brittany.I'll have you know I got my mrs a cassette tape player for Xmas so she could play the old tapes we still have knocking around from our youths
My mates father in law has a load of those and a player.
Well if fishnet floats your boat then who am I to pass commentHad been thinking of getting my beloved a string vest. She's been feeling the cold a bit, here in the frozen wastelands of southern Brittany.
I don't think so.I listen to spotify, but 99.99% of the time its a podcast.
I used to listen to it more for music when there was a functioning API that I used to make my own Raspberry pi based player. Really liked the control that I had.
I don't use it like a record player though.
Still got a stack of albums and a linear track player. Got hundreds of CDs gathering dust. Likewise DVDs and blurays. Might have a box of VHS tapes too, does your mate like Disney @stubrewworx ?
Wow, that's impressive list!I've probably got around 500 albums, I get a lot of pleasure going through them
especially when I have friends round.
As said previously they're getting harder to find in charity shops and car boots where I used to pick up loads.
Sometimes I go to record fairs and if I find something I really want I'll treat myself, it's still worth paying in comparison with price of new CDs today.
Years back I did some work for a guy who used to have a second hand shop.
I got a job lot of LPs in part payment which are among my most valuable today, all first pressings. Some of the top finds, these were all released in 1969 ;
- King Crimson , in the court of the crimson king
- Rolling stones, Let it bleed
- Jethro Tull, Stand up (amazing pop up gatefold album cover)
- Fleetwood Mac, Then play on
- Pink Floyd, Ummagumma
