Ooooooh...this makes me so angry! I used to have SO many records and a vintage record player that was handed down to me by my mom. I had records like Thriller, the Saturday Night Fever Sdtk., The Eagles, Wham!, Foreigner, and Bruce Springsteen. I left it at my mothers house when I moved away fro college and just last year, I went home to get them. She had thrown it all out, saying she didn't want her house to be "cluttery"!
There actually is a store here that still sells vinyl, but where on earth can I get a record player?? lol
