And Going Back to the Mothership, check this one out by all means:
I could never stop with just one cut from this one. Play it through!
I always play entire albums.
It took a bit for me to understand during the first thread of this series that others were posting single cuts, not albums.
I’m with you, if I take the time to clean an LP, I play both sides.
Yes, especially with an LP.
I play entire albums as well. I’m using digital files mostly, so the occasion track gets skipped if I don’t particularly care for it.
I assume this is one of the appeals of streaming; you can pick and choose which tracks you want to listen to from many different albums, thus playlists.
For me, a playlist would have little value as it is trivial to cue up a couple of albums I want to hear.
But all that matters is people are listening to music.
It’s one factor. Convenience being the other. If I want to listen to Elton John GYBR, its a snap to find it. I don’t have to clean it, or place it in a player.
I always found it confusing that a CD remote had a remote open and close button, like you would toss the disc in from afar.
With Rick Wakeman on Piano. There’s YouTube Video of the two of them playing this live somewhere.
I don’t stream and I play mostly LPs since the wife seems to have a nose for buying in bulk! We probably have close to 200 LPs we haven’t played yet.
Great album!
I was thinking convenience when I mentioned playlists. It would be a lot of work to locate and load another CD every three to five minutes.
I, too, have never appreciated remote open and close of a CD drawer.
