I remember Napster before Metallica got all pissed off and forced legal action. Was a great source of .mp3's for a while. Before that it was the IRC channels, talk about antiquated and the early days of the internet.
I was always a big picture disk guy during the vinyl days.
Picture disks.., I was not a fan of as the music then had a noise on the track. It was audible and distracted me a little. I did have some but at the time thought them to a be a little gimmicky, same with coloured vinyl.
