I heard on the news that the grand old name (or such as remains using said grand old name) has gone bust again.

The golden memories of some nice old equipment are tempered by how we were all mercilessly milked by the pricing of LPs and CDs. Does the net result leave me with a bit of sympathy? Yes, just a bit.

Ah, gold writing on a deep red label, and the dog whizzing round at 78rpm... It seemed so classy.
