You have probably seen them hidden in the attic or the garage together with a turntable. They used to be your father’s most priced possessions but now they are nothing more than clutter in the house.
But wait until you are given the chance to play old 45 records of artists such as The Beatles, The Who, Pink Floyd, or The Rolling Stones; surely, the experience will give you another handful of reasons to keep them; this time, not in the attic but in your own room.
Those who have gone through the same experience are most likely to appreciate the difference of listening to old 45 records compared to the compact disks and mp3s that we know of today. The former is the closest we get to the rawest sound quality. It is really difficult to simulate the same sound if you are going to compress the audio files to fit your music player.
Too bad, no record labels are distributing music through old 45 records anymore. But if you are such a fan, the most you can do is to get designer cufflinks that will remind you of the good old days. Old 45 record cufflinks are available in most jewelry and accessories stores online. Watch out for it and for other designs of music cufflinks.
It is good to know that even if you are no longer allowed by modern day technology to enjoy the simple things in life, there are still ways for you to at least reminisce about it and find joy in the memories. Wearing cufflinks and other accessories that will remind you of those days are sometimes enough.
