Vinyl's Comeback

As an aside to HypnoChodes Killer LP's question and the great list of albums on there.
How does seeing all the racks with vinyl LP's make you feel when you go into record shops?
It makes me feel happy. It's like how it used to be. I love using my fingers to move them, It's great to see all those long-lost albums returned to how they should be. Some prices are a bit shocking, but the vinyl is thicker. If you want to buy it then you get the long-lost pleasure of physically owning an a record! Something you can take home; pull off the inner sleeve with its annoying static charge and carefully place it on the turntable and enjoy the sleeve art and notes at your leisure

I'm a lifelong vinyl loyalist.
I have thousands of the things and regularly dig through all the likely spots within a sixty mile radius.
The prices these days make me pretty queasy,but I guess I can laugh about all the times in the 90's when I pulled entire collections out of dumpsters or found beautiful OG pressings for .50 or a buck.

I'm kind of shocked that I spent $18 smackeroos on a 45 last week...but it's a righteous platter and the rest of my order was well under retail and included a few true gems I missed having,shrug.

CD's have been much more fun to take risks on for cheap since records became cool again IMHO.
