An Introduction

Greetings, and welcome to my blog.  Here you will find a personal selection of music albums from the past, alongside information on what media the music lives on today.  In this digital age of music, nearly anything can be listened to in just a few clicks through the use of the internet  With this ease of access, there was seemingly no reason for physical media such as cassettes, vinyl records, and even CDs.  After this decline however, physical media has seen a bit of an increase in popularity, even more so in the form of vinyl records.  The reason behind the recent surge of popularity is up to debate; whether it be an increase of audible quality, or the desire to have some tangible form of the album.  Along with this, many older music albums have seen reissues and are again available for purchase in all sorts of physical media.  Some albums are not so lucky.  An unfortunate amount of music has gone out of print in the form of vinyl records.  Some albums have been so heavily modified through the years that it is uncertain what the definitive version is.

This blog is to serve as a guide as to where and how this music can be found today; whether something freely and easily available to anyone with the slightest interest or a valuable rarity in the music world.  Though definitive versions are up for debate, I will give my informed opinion on the matter.
