34. Lol, the first LP I ever got was Parallel Lines.

I can't believe LPs aren't still popular. Nothing beats them for that "presence" they seem to have. It's almost like FM radio in Stereo. There is another frequency they produce that you cannot get from CDs or DVDs or MP3s or any of the other newer technology. I still have a working turntable. I don't even know if Radio Shack still sells the needle for it. So, I keep it taped if I move the turntable, just in case, so it won't break. I still have some anti-static liquid too, for worn out records. I still have my Blondie LPs and my Joan Jett LPs and many many 45s as well.
