Vinyl comeback

It seems that we can't get enough of the good old hiss and click of vinyl as the old records are making a comeback. Perhaps its just the warmth of an analogue recording or is it the feeling of nostalgia we get putting that big plastic disk on the turntable. Of course it has much to do with the artwork that albums were so famous for. Remember Roger Deans Yes album covers. I still have Led Zeppelins Physical Graffiti with its multiple windows. And then there were the special edition colour vinyl records we all prized. So bring in back and get the old collection down from the loft. We have added a couple of great retro style turntables to www.the retrogiftshop.co.uk
The Union jack 'Jam' is a stand alone record player with its own built in speakers. It can also be used with an external amplifier. The white 70's style 'Jive' is a full modern music center complete with CD player and remote control all looking like it belongs on a Gerry Anderson set like UFO. So here's to the return of the scratchy vinyl album, great styleish artwork and hours of retro fun.
