timmah!
Deck update. My mum lent me her LP collection which is a box of 50+ LPs from late 60s to early 70s. Beach Boys, Jan and Dean, through some early Hendrix re-pressings, Rolling Stones, Led Zep, Cream etc, Deep Purple and some prog rock that I didn’t know she was into. A pal has lent me his ultrasonic record cleaner as some of them are filthy. Makes a massive difference.
I’m now on the lookout in the charity shops for early jazz records. There’s a probably mid-60s Stephane Grappelli LP waiting at one of the charity shops near work that I need to grab and I picked up an early 70s 2-disc best of Henri Mancini earlier for 50p.
It’s very chilled listening to records compared to other media. I haven’t played a record for well over 25 years. I’d forgotten what they were like.
