I'll let darthmaul (or Ruth) ask the obvious question, it would just look stoopid coming from me.

Excuse me!

What question...? And we don't do records - we go digital. Care to join us in the 21st century anybody?

Exactly, I was waiting for you to ask "what's a record that is round?"

I have a heart-shaped record ( in case anyone is interested..)

Bit confused. My records are round. My CDs are round. My cassette tapes are not. I didn't get what the question should be either.

OK Ruthie, you have records, but Darthmaul clearly doesn't.

the question was 'What is a record?'

either I was shallow (likely) or they were halcyon days, an age of innocence etc. etc......or it's a result of modern media saturation.....???

Ah.

Sorry, must have been particularly dim.

We had records in Col B, in junior common room (UF & GE). Only two I think, one was 'Just say no' - an 80s anti drugs (I think) delight. The other was a The Beverley Sisters LP with the classic "Don't sit under the apple tree". Now that was good.

Crikey, that was after MY time.

My husband is an avid music listener and has many vinyl records from George Harrison, Concert for Bangladesh. and Tubular Bells to Paul Tortellier playing Bach's Cello concertos.

They are in the living room, you can also not move in his section of our bedroom for his 500+ CDs.

He is not yet into MP3 etc, the kids and I are working on him.

I inherited lots of LPs from my dad, none of which I've listened to yet. Most looking forward to the original BBC recording of Under Milk Wood.
