I grew up in the time when CD’s reigned. In my early 20’s I decided to drive from Melbourne to Sydney to chase a girl I was interested in. I also wanted to stop at every town on the way and check out their op shops. I was mostly looking for vintage clothes, but in one town I stumbled across this record. I didn’t even own a record player, but I just knew I had to buy it.
A few years later I married the girl from Sydney, and in our first house we were given a vintage radiogram record player. The only record we had at the time was this Ella Fitzgerald record. We played it and slow danced together in the lounge room.
Now even more years later, with two kids, we have hundreds of records and our kids pick what records we listen to at dinner every night.
