Very good point.I never did 8 Track or cassette but I bought lots and lots and *lots* of stuff on vinyl and CD.Also,since the advent of the internet,I've bought about 20 songs...all of them paid for via Amazon.So my collection of 50's,60's and 80's music was already completed by the dawn of the internet.
So I emphatically plead not guilty.
And doncha remember that six or eight bucks for a vinyl album back in the sixties was REAL MONEY!! And the 45’s were a dollar a pop, too.
