Happy National Vinyl Record Day!

Music has come a long way. Kids these days don't know the struggle of waiting outside our local CD or record store for releases of music. Not only having to buy a whole album, but then we'd have to run home and pop the record in a CD player or turntable and sitting in one place to listen to it.

It helps us to be appreciative today, being able to go on YouTube or a streaming platform and searching a song or album, and hitting play. Nonetheless, vinyl and CDs bring a sound that can never be replaced.

To celebrate, let's commemorate some of the best records from some great artists. Maybe it's time to add some of these to your collection!
