Keeping Records
Sixties folk-rock resurges, disco-era jumpsuits return and shoulder pads straight out of the Eighties get a second life—is it any surprise vinyl records are having a revival too?
More and more bands are releasing albums in analog format and friends have started hosting listening parties, so we too are taking the 12” for a spin again. And we've found the perfect little player to try out our new, old hobby on. The Numark Portable Turntable is the same square size as the classic LP, connects to your stereo system or plays through its built-in speaker, and goes absolutely anywhere (thanks to battery power).
It also connects to your computer, so if you jones for modern technology again, that Olivia Newton-John record can also get digital.
$175 at Vancouver Special, 3612 Main St., Vancouver, 604-568-3673, www.vanspecial.com
