When buying LPs youve no risk of accidentally letting a nasty little cyber-vermin loose into your digital domain - no laptop crashes and no losing of all your precious documents or photos from the best moments in your life. Before you buy an LP you can even take the record out of the album sleeve and run your fingers over it to check that its okay. Additionally, the chap whos selling you the record probably wont be selling it anyway if it werent playable. Even so, theres still another quite specific reason why people are tempted by downloads over LPs the money. Find the right site and you can gobble up as much music as you like for nothing, whereas having a hefty LP-spending sesh can leave your wallet feeling fairly light. Thats why its essential you haggle, prove to the seller you know what you want and theyll knock the price for that cult bands only album from whatever it was to half the price - it's common parlance when indulging in this kind of thing, so what are you waiting for? Get down to your nearest record shop and get stuck in. What other reasons are there for LPs being better than downloads? Maybe you think downloads win over LPs ever time? Let us know in the comments!
