Now that you've put all your music on an iPod, it looks like an old friend is making a comeback. Vinyl record sales are on the rise. And it's not just oldies. Madonna, Coldplay, Beck and many others are all releasing new music on vinyl. Is it a fad or has vinyl finally proven that it is here to stay?

Posted 2:37pm March 6th, 2009I have known Freddie and shopped at ROCK N ROLL HEAVEN for MANY years. I actually shopped there BEFORE Freddie bought it from Dave Bushey, back in the 70's (okay, I'm getting OLD!). My wife doesn't let me go there anymore because she knows I can disappear for a whole day in that store! I can get lost in the stacks of wax and all the cool stuff he has there. He even has an old jacket on display from my band "Ricky & Tightrope" from the 70's!....I don't even have one of THOSE! LOL!! I am still a fan of vinyl, and have held on to most of my old LPs from the day. It sounds warmer, richer, and there is something about that needle dropping on the groove that gets my blood pumping. THANK YOU FREDDIE for hanging in there with such a cool shop!....in an era of copycats, it's a ONE OF A KIND place.

Posted 3:37pm June 26th, 2008No reason to through them out. There are turntables you
you can purchase with USB connection to your computer
and then record the music into your computer and
then Burn a CD for playback. Believe Guitar Center sells
them.

Posted 2:09pm June 26th, 2008I hope vinyl records DO make a comeback! I've got a large collection, of which some are real collector's items, that I have to get rid of one day soon because they're taking up space in my housethat I need for other things & I have no record player anymore to play them on. My children dont want them & I'm really getting too old to sit & listen to them. I spend most of my time now on the computer.
