I had just bought several records before I broke it. Well, I finally got it back from a friend who fixed it, I mean I could have always played the songs on YouTube, but there is nothing better than hearing the cracks and crackles of an album.
Then it dawned on me why albums on a record player bring me back to my childhood. Whenever I was escaping a scary part in my life, I would listen to records, and they took me away into another world.
I can remember the music taking me to when the artist was recording the record and for that moment, I was there with them.
