If you mastered it well done, 'cause many people never did and that's why so many records out there skip now :) What a shame your vinyl went AWOL, I know it's a big pain to lug around but I hope I keep hold of mine. And grrr, what a way to lose it too! Oh yes, putting the needle properly in the groove is a precision movement – you have to have patience to get it right!

I recall I had to be very precise and it wasn't easy for little fingers. But yes, listening to music like that was much more tactile. Can't say I own any vinyl these days now... the last lot I had went missing when I moved out from living with an ex boyfriend years ago now...
