-> That's too bad.  I took great pains to preserve my LPs.  I  
-> bought extra onion-paper sleeves and replaced the typical  
-> factory paper versions.

Thees weren't mine to begin with; I bought them used, bit by bit over
the years. . . 
                                                        
Now I try not to play them, being as I can find most full albums on
YouTube.                                           


-> Hmmm..  genuine vs print wouldn't have made a difference from  
-> the point of view of an audience.

True enough (album covers as backdrop in a play); I think the director
just liked the idea more than anything else. :) 

But 'tis true, the printed ones would look shiny & new, while mine had
definite signs of aging.


-> I dunno.. I have favourites across all the different decades.

Oh, same, but my general favourite, for rock is '67 to '86.

I like some of most genres, except for rap & most pop, as they get too
repetitive or otherwise show the creators don't have any legit skills.

I particularly like Deep Purple, because every member was classically
trained, & it shows in how they forge a harmonious interplay of sounds.

& Pat Benatar, as she was operetically trained & could really wring some
sounds out of her  throat!

Freddy Mercury, too, had a special voice, as did the Frank (Sinatra)

I love music that I can close my eyes to, & just feel all sorts of
symphonc sounds wash all around me. . .
