Records for Christmas?

[LeaningCy]

Just getting into my vinyl habit. Found an original Miles Davis Porgy and Bess and got myself a new Yusef Lateef Jazz Mood reissue

Was gifted the Revolver Box Set. I had the other ones (Abbey Rd, White Album, Sgt Pepper, and Let It Be)

CD versions, all. Definitely don't need vinyl of any of those.

The diversity of his lyrics is great. This is a fun visual from a few years back showing that.

I believe that was Peeples Music. I never got into records, but bought a crap ton of CDs back in the day. My main memory of Peeples is finding Prince's Sign O The Times double CD set there circa 2000.
