The sound of vinyl. There's nothing like the warm, deep and smooth sound of your favorite album or LP from a vinyl record. Vinyl is also the only place to find so many of the rarities, exclusives and limited editions unavailable in any other format.

The feel of vinyl. The personal, tactile experience of vinyl is another beauty of this format. Huge multicolor images, unique pressings and print techniques expand the artists' ability to communicate their album art in a resolution almost infinitely more engaging than pixels on a screen.

The love of vinyl. In a world of bits and bytes, the feeling of owning, touching and keeping your favorite recorded music is a unique and singular experience, and one artists haven't forsaken. Artists are putting more into the creation of their records than ever creating totems as much a part of the statement as the music.

A vinyl collection, whether one record or a million, is a must-have for any music fan.

“Is it wrong, wanting to be at home with your record collection? It’s not like collecting records is like collecting stamps, or beermats, or antique thimbles. There’s a whole world in here, a nicer, dirtier, more violent, more peaceful, more colorful, sleazier, more dangerous, more loving world than the world I live in; there is history, and geography, and poetry, and countless other things I should have studied at school, including music.”
― Nick Hornby, High Fidelity
 
Maybe that's why music fans across all genres are returning to this timeless format.
 
But there are many other reasons to treasure your favorite album beyond just bits and bytes.

O'Donel Levy WINDOWS CD

Super-dope stuff throughout - and maybe the best album ever by this legendary 70's guitar player! O'Donel Levy's got this tremendous sound that comes from playing an electric hollow body - in a tone that takes the best bits of Grant Green and Wes Montgomery, and strips them down for a hipper, badder 70s sort of mode. The album's got some great blackploitation-esque arrangements by Manny Albam, and O'Donel's groove is nice and lean as he snakes over the top of the record in some very soulful solos! Lots of cool grooves, and titles include 'Joni', 'Nigerian Knights', 'Bad, Bad, Simba' and 'Sad, Sad, Simba'. Simba is one hot album of funky soul-jazz. O'Donel Levy had played with Richard 'Groove' Holmes and Jimmy McGriff on other albums for producer Sonny Lester's Groove Merchant label, and even had one released under his own name (Black Velvet), but this was something different. Black Velvet had a couple Levy originals, but relied heavily on cover tunes. For Simba, Lester brought in Manny Albam to supply both the tunes and the arrangements, and it makes all the difference in the world. The songs are catchy and funky, and play to Levy's strengths as a player. The arrangements are fantastic, played by a who's who list of '70s session men (including a young David Sanborn and Tony Levin, who throws down throughout). It's a shame that the Albam/Levy partnership didn't last longer, because later in the same year Levy had a follow-up (Everything I Do Gonna Be Funky) without Albam, and it was back to another album of unremarkable covers. Simba is the O'Donel Levy album to own. Sean Westergaard, All Music Guide
