Liner Notes

I'm no audiophile.  Sure, we probably lost something moving to digital; there's probably an element of "the room" that ones and zeros will never capture.  But the MP3 player has definite advantages. First, it's easier to dust than a shelf full of records, and lets face it, searching beneath the passenger seat at 70 miles an hour for the Cult's Love cassette is clearly not a good idea.  

What I do miss is liner notes.  I miss the hands-on experience of the first listen, reading the lyrics and the thank you lines, seeing who got songwriting credit, who played the Hammond B-3, who sang back-up vocals on "Past the Mission?"
