Never been able to see the point of vinyl personally; if I want physical media I'll buy CDs which are cheaper, take up less space and are more straightforward to digitise. But then I never play music that isn't either through headphones or in my car, so...
I think we may still have a few of my late dad's vinyl records knocking around in my mum's garage; some of them will be pretty old so if they're in good nick I may sell them.

I have thousands of vinyl mostly singles but I did start buying vinyl again a few years ago but after good old 2022, possibly my least favourite year ever, vinyl has just got too expensive. I cannot justify spending £30 on an album that I can get for a tenner on CD or hear on Spotify.

I've rediscovered digital downloads in the past few years - usually even cheaper than CDs and more eco-friendly. Ideally I get high-quality FLAC versions. I like that I can whack them on my portable mp3 player (yes, I still use it!) and USB memory stick which lives in my car without even having to rip the CD. I do still love to buy CDs when I can but mostly reserve it for artists or albums I really, really love.
When I met Blood Command after their gig in Bristol last year, I brought my World Domination CD and got them all to sign it. They were very surprised to find someone who still buys them lol

I’m just giving mine to charity as the boys would never put the work in to get the money out of it, well maybe one day they would but I don’t see it.
just listening to Shambolics and all the way through I am thinking they are very late 00s then I notice it is only Kyle Falconer of The View’s on a track. Not been paying as much attention to this genre lately. Think albums is the way to go with this stuff as it would struggle to make my singles charts now.
