The music scene took a big step in evolution when it moved from concert hall to vinyl. That meant having music in your room. That was a pretty big deal, back then. It still is right now. I cannot imagine not being able to listen to music at my convenience, and I'm sure you feel the same.
This video explains the process of the vinyl. Created by RCA Victor, the video walks the viewer through the entire procedure used to create vinyl records. From live recording being taped to molding it and mass producing it. That MP3 you're listening to has come a long way.
