Led Zeppelin II on vinyl

@bigtwin there’s some truth to that. I’ll try not to get into vinyl vs digital too much here but…
I have several albums I bought as a teenager (14-15 years old). And when I play them it brings back memories. I’m hunting down a good copy of Iron Maiden’s “Live After Death” now. I had this album on a cassette that was recorded from LP when I was a kid. I love that album. LP will be the closest to that cassette sound wise (obviously my system now is light years ahead of what I had then).
Things like that bring on an emotional connection and I don’t get that with streaming…or if I do it’s not to the same degree and it’s different. 
As to albums I acquired on vinyl that I haven’t listened to in the past, I just love the sound man. In those cases I enjoy streaming and vinyl both and I appreciate what each format has to offer sonically. Plus you are involved when you want to listen to a vinyl record. With digital your tukhes is glued to the chair for hours. Another benefit of vinyl - you get up more often. May be I can even squeeze those stretches in lol

While my copies of Led Zeppelin I and II are AR re-issues, I haven't pulled them out of the collection in over a decade. Just finished cleaning and on the playlist for this evening.

Thanks for posting the thread.

enjoy!

@audphile1  I agree with many of your points.  I still have lots of LPs dating back to the 70's that are in very good shape.  And I love playing them.  Source of pride that I took care of them, which my wife is soooooo tired of hearing.  One other strong plus for vinyl, is the much better surface for rolling a joint.  Just not the same on a Jewel Case.  If I'm not mistaken, the cover of Rasta Man Vibration is often cited as being an excellent surface.  I mean that's what I've heard.  I wouldn't know from personal experience. 🤣

LMAO @bigtwin 

I actually have the rastaman vibrations. Will have to throw it on a table this weekend.
