I actually like that song!! And by the way my parents when I was growing up used to play Abba on the old record player with the 2nd record dropping down off a magnet after first one finished playing. Amazing mechanics!! I am old enough to remember Abba at No.1 with Super Trouper

you were lucky! my parents (well, my mum) played Demis Rousos, Nana Mouskouri and Barbara Streisand most of the time but fortunately I developed my own taste in music... though now that I think of it I quite like My friend the wind, and Forever and Ever, and My Only Fascination and The White Rose of Athens and Memories and... hang on... oh dear!

I have a friend that still swears by record players and won't buy CD's if he can help it.
Mind you, his main record player has a concrete base for stabilisation and so weighs a ton, and cost over £1000 so he is a true believer in vinyl!

Yes my dad too his cost £1,300 with an £80 stylus
He gets records from charity shops
Most purists say CD's are compressed sounding

bit off topic now but there's so much about using vinyl such as keeping the weight and balance of the arm and stylus pressure correct so as not to prematurely wear the vinyl etc etc.
I just dunno if I can be bothered with all that.
still (getting back on topic) with the enthusiasm of a true audiophile, such records will be able to be listened to for many New Years to come
