yes vanguard your wax! (especially the good stuff)

from my continuing adventures in the world of music...
I've learned about the true difference from analog and digital sound.
Basically in a nut shell... all original sound is analog.
Yet a digital recording just takes a snapshot of the analog signal
at a certain rate. Which means, through the conversion
the original analog sound wave is not being completely captured,
just most of it.

Now to the untrained ear, you may not be able to tell the difference.
but to an Audiophile... (( d^,^b )) your ears will be more stimulated.

Though wax, vinyl, records, 45's are considered obsolete and
outdated to the 'download it generation' ... they will continue to
be a preference to those who would rather hear the full body
and subtle imperfections in the original recordings of those artists
who didn't have the luxury of saying
"ok we messed up... let's do another take"
no studio tricks, just hours and hours of rehearsal to perfect
the song... and when it was time to record...
it was SHOW TIME! as if the performer(s) screwed up
it was either out of their pay or the record label had to pay for it.

some times the mistakes weren't so noticeable and the artist
had no choice but to release a not so perfect recording.

Otis Redding's - Tramp is a perfect example.
you can here that his band did a change up too early
or he did his vocal too late.

just to have the record, the sleeve,
and the album cover, that snapshot in time of your favorite
artist(s) has a certain value to me.
