There is something beautiful about music on vinyl. You do not have endless possibilities. Your are bound to a collection of disks. You do not have the possibility of hearing millions and billions of songs. You can't sweep through your collection like you do in a spotify playlist. There is no pressure to listen to the next song, the one that gives you even more "chills". No skipping.The limitation makes the beautiful. And of course, the analog. But I leave this discussion for someone else to re-start.

Today I want to invite you to share your favourite LP!

Maybe its this one song on it you love, or it is a really rare, valuable one. The original pressing of "Electric Ladyland". Or a certain memory you have that connects you to that song or album. Maybe it does remind you of something deep down in you or makes you dance.

This is one I love:

When I play it, I dance around and am very cheerful, especially in the morning. It is only 4 or 5 dollars at discogs but you know hat - I do not care. I cannot even find the songs on that LP on Youtube. My sister gave it to me some time ago. She probably bought it somewhere in one of the many record shops of berlin. It features some of Bob Marleys earliest recorded music. The time when he would play ska. There is such raw vibe to it - something untouchable. Although the quality itself is very bad as the LP itself has been heard a LOT of times.
