There's just something about the search through stacks and bins of used vinyl until a keeper is found. It's the idea of discovery! I've found something! It's a piece of history.
The same concept does not apply to compact discs where brand new is a bigger thrill.
Of course, a new vinyl release by a favorite musician where I have no idea of its existence ..... that's up there with the discovery of used, long sought for, 'holy grail' records.
And occasionally there's the frustrations of tonight .... to make an exciting used vinyl find only to get home and discover that it's already in your collection. That didn't happen when I was younger and had better powers of memory. Then again, it might have nothing to do with age. It could just be a numbers thing and remembering hundreds of records as compared to remembering 2300 records.
