Well, very good for your son- all good point, esp the tactility of it all.
Wonder how many of 'us' would have used/tolerated dial phones (for those that had a choice) 10-20 yrs after touchtone came out!
Granted it just replaced the physicality of LPs with a (far) more portable variant.
I always hated the 'the gotta play in the sequence we determined' aspect of LPs, hence loved making mix tapes on cassettes.
Still have most of mine, plus some radio tapes and a bootleg of Charles Mingus.....and still need to order a belt repair kit for my 'last generation' Sony 3 head deck
