This is the sleeve on my 1970 copy of Chicago II,  still relevant today. Wow!

Below is a quick OCR of the text. I know this is the Vinyl Circle, but I think the majority of the points is invalid or seriously debatable today.


The Best For Less, Records give you top quality for less money than any other recorded form.

They Allow Selectivity Of Songs And Tracks. With records it's easy to pick out the songs you want to play, or to play again a particular song or side. All you have to do is lift the tone arm and place it where you want it. You can't do this as easily with anything but a phonograph record.

They're The Top Quality in Sound. Long-playing phonograph records look the same now as when they were introduced in 1948, but there's a world of difference. Countless refinements and developments have been made to perfect the long-playing record's technical excellence and insure the best in sound reproduction and quality available in recorded form.

They'll Give You Hours Of Continuous And Uninterrupted Listening Pleasure. Just stack them up on your automatic changer and relax.

They're Attractive, Informative And Easy To Store. Record albums are never out of place. Because of the aesthetic appeal of the jacket design, they're beautifully at home in any living room or library. They've also got important information on the backs about the artists, about the performances or about the program. And because they're flat and not bulky, you can store hundreds in a minimum of space and still see every title.

If It's in Recorded Form, You Know It'll Be Available On Records.
Everything's on long-playing records these days... your favorite artists, shows, comedy, movie sound tracks, concerts, drama, documented history, educational material... You name it. This is not so with any other kind of recording.

They Make A Great Gift. Everybody you know loves music. And practically everyone owns a phonograph. Records are a gift that says a lot to the person you're giving them to. And they keep on remembering

  • To whom more was given more will be required.
    • Never go to a psychiatrist, adopt a straycat or dog. On the street they live only two years average.

I blame those greedy music vendors at audio fests jacking up the prices on obsolete music.

Some of the details haven’t aged as well as the format, but there’s no denying that vinyl isn’t more relevant today than any other physical format that came after.
One detail not listed are the credits and lyrics which aren’t as easy to find as that printed on the cover or sleeve.
The only thing that gives me real heartburn is the automatic changer.
