I used to stalk an LP. I'd see it in a shop, study the cover images, read the sleeve notes and save all my money just to get my hands on this piece of magic. When I got home I'd play it over and over again until I absorbed every note, every little phrase. But never would I get bored with it and even today I can play these records over and over and still get the same enjoyment.
Here I am at home with my Pioneer PL-200 record deck, my Pioneer SA-508 add and warfdale speakers. I bought this set-up in 1980 but lost it (I suspect that it is hidden away somewhere, either in my house or one of my sons). I had to buy it again on ebay and it still sounds great.

Vinyl is the way to go !
Vinyl is indeed the best sound. Most people have no conception of what a real hi-fi can do for their music as they listen to stuff either while sat at a computer or via an mp3 player, where quality is always compromised.
