Great piece! Being just a bit too young to have any nostalgia for vinyl, the thing I REALLY miss are liner notes. For example, discovering Loreena McKennitt's music in the mid 90s and listening to it while reading the thick mini-book-length liner notes, with several paragraphs of backstory on each song was an absolute delight. I mean, these exist somewhere online if you really dig, but it's not the same.

I recently got a few new LPs. They sound amazing - except for the inner groove distortion! I have a nice Dual turntable, and I realize that this type of distortion is just an inherent flaw of vinyl. But it bothers me so much that I don't know if I'll keep buying records or just save up for a fancy streaming box to hook up to my stereo...
