[78-L] The vynil word on the subject

[David Lennick]

Luckily there were no spandex records (I hope).

A radio station playing music from the 60s on has rebranded itself as "Vinyl 
95.3" and is doing quite well. At least targeting that demographic makes some 
sense, unlike a series put out by the now defunct St. Clair Productions called 
"The Vinyl Collection" which consisted of recordings from the 40s.
