Happy dayz
I agree with all that except:

Harder to skin up on a CD cover than a 12".

I replaced all my LPs with CDs at uni. But in the first year, we'd put an album on and skin up on it. By the 2nd year, I had a CD multi-changer in my room, but it wasn't the same.

I also miss the waking up to the tssssss-doomp of the needle going round and round at the end of the album.

I do know what you mean about rediscovering all your fave bands.

But I miss the analogue world. The 12" album covers - some of the finest artwork this country has ever produced. The physical feeling of putting the needle on the record and watching it ride those grooves up and down.
