I was born in '71 and usually think of myself as a Child of the 80s, I am however a fanatic in the old Vinyl vs. CD battle, I recently got my hands on a handful 7in singles from the 60s and 70s, among them Joan Baez, Bee Gees and Blue Öyster Cult, listening to Don't Fear The Reaper I seemed to remember seemed to remember hearing a recording of B.Ö.C. at Woodstock.

None of the people I know from that era remembers if I'm right and I can't find anything online, I've got the trible Woodstock album, and B.Ö.C. isn't on, but Greatful Dead isn't either, and I think they were there, I've always wished that I could've been at Woodstock - of cause, at the time I was like -3y.o or something - so I felt like discovering a rare gem, when I found the album in a second-hand store.

Anyway, can anyone help me out here; did Blue Öyster Cult and Greatful Dead play at Woodstock.

Someone told me that later the warning was retracted, but I don't know if it's true or not

i for one think that the old vinyls add a certain authenticity to the music versus cds. its just really hard to find a portadle record player to listen to when you go jogging...but i think vinyls are better than cds...despite size

Vinyl vs CD debate. CDs are definitely better in terms of quality. In fact, I am replacing all my vinyl on CD. But, there is something about vinyl-maybe it's nostalgic or something. And listening to those pops and skips kind of adds to the "listening to the past" idea. But, if one of my old records had a skip on it, I usually can't listen to it on CD without hearing the skip in my head-like it was part of the song.

I admit that I'm a fanatic when it comes to Vinyl Vs. CD; which is obvious for anyone who've seen my record collection, 5,602 records against maybe ten CDs, but there is a difference; modern music - hate that term - is recorded digitally to begin with, and obviously sounds better on Cd, as well it should, but when you take some artist from the past and do a "Greatest Hits" CD you remaster the original track to a digital format, and somehow something gets lost in the transision.

Take Melanie C (Ex-Spice Girls) as an example; I've got her song "I Turn To You" on 12" vinyl, and her entire album - somewhere - on CD, and she actually sounds a lot better on CD, than on vinyl, because the track had to be remastered to a vinyl-compatible format, changing the whole feel of the song, the same is also true the other way, of cause.

But maybe that's just me.
