Heyday of vintage vinyl for nothing was the 90s when CDs ruled the world and everyone was binning their collections of records.

My dad got rid of 100s of records in the 90s

Brashs and Sanity were the big 90s CD stores, Brashs bit the dust a long time ago and Sanity is now an online only music store.

I miss the old CD stores in shopping centres, that was one of the few stores I had any interest in, loved rifling in the bargain bin.

I brought my first stereo from Brashs I put it on laybuy saved up and paid it off .
Brought 2 X Double CDs cold chisle and Doors to go with it .

Watching a poker stream and there is this old guy , grey hair tinge of red moustache , pretty tight player called Becker

Only to recognise his 1st name is Boris and it is indeed the tennis legend



(and he will be part of a viral video for the hand just played)

I think the Boomers miss the old days of going into a record store where you could chat to other music fans without a chatroom.

Gen X too, REM started back in the 80s when Peter Buck was working in a record store and Michael Stipe liked albums he liked.

I just wish I had met a kindred spirit back in my local 80s record store back when I bought Spandau Ballet's greatest hits album.

Communication let me down and I'm left here.

I am Gen x. The vinyl is being borrowed by teens and up to 80 year olds which is both awesome and a bit surprising. We usually have it playing and it's funny watching kids reactions to it. They have no idea what it is but are curious.

Unley library record collection filled plenty of gaps in my musical education.

Unley is a great Library.

Whoever bought their records in the 80s has my gratitude.
