The sound of vinyl

I needed this

If your vinyl is crackling you haven't taken very good care of it.

where does the crackling originate? the vinyl or the needle?

i have no idea what i'm talking about.

I don't mind the sound of vinyl, but the stuff just doesn't breathe...

Dust and scratches. At least the dust can be removed with a vacuum record cleaning machine.

Of course, when you play a clean record on a good turntable peeps think it's fake "'cause it sounds too good to be a record."

This is how vinyl is supposed to sound (45 of another hit song from the same year):

He might also want to get a turntable that doesn't have a warped platter.
