It's so warm...

I actually stumbled upon the greatness of vinyl unintentionally.  I was helping my mom clean out the attic one summer and found a box of records and a turntable.  Well the turntable didn't have a needle so I tracked down a needle for the old JVC and organized the records.  In organizing them I found a copy of House of the Holy, I decided to throw it on as I was going through the rest of them.  It sounded awesome, that was until Over the Hills & Far Away came on, I literally stopped in my tracks and listened, I didn't move for the entire length of the song.  I had never heard it sound like it did that day, it was amazing, the instruments felt so alive and full, it was one of the most beautiful moments I have ever experienced listening to music.  

To this day I only purchase vinyl, occasionally I buy a cd of something that is not released on the format.  I will admit though, it is a pricey habit, new records range from $15-$35.
