Tommorow is Vinyl Record Day, a day to celebrate this historical audio medium with friends and family. To celebrate this day, please take time out of your hectic life and place a couple of records on the turntable and appreciate the sound quality, the social importance of records and most of all, whatever you listen to; please enjoy the music.
I recieved an email from the founder of Vinyl Record Day, Gary Freiberg, and there is some news to report:
"To celebrate the 2008 Vinyl Record Day, we are announcing submission has been made to the US Postal Citizen Stamp Advisory Committee to encourage the preservation of America's audio history on the vinyl record by issuing a stamp series based on the cultural influences of vinyl over the past sixty years."
"Many music artists have been honored with stamps but never has the medium that brought theirs and many other artists performances to the world been commemorated and recognized. Vinyl Record Day is looking to the near future when this culturally important recording medium will be honored and preservation of recordings on vinyl will be encouraged through the US post system."
Let's hope that this becomes a reality. If you would like to support Vinyl Record Day, stop by the site and make a donation, it is that important. And remember, it is always about the music.
