"You know, this kind of stuff is vinyl. But, this is the type of vinyl that needs to go bye-bye. These are vinyl sets. Now, every now and then, you'll see them. They'll have Reader's Digest, and they'll have your old favorites. You know, the forties, funky Lawrence Welk stuff, you know, the Andy Williams (excuse me, Andy)...the Andy Williams stuff. The kind of stuff that's so easy listening, you have to feel for a pulse to see if you're really still alive while you are listening to it. These little sets, like the kind they have "The Big Bopper" sets and stuff on TV, try to grab a whole bunch of hits so you can be nostalgic or so you can remember the songs that were so boring you want to kill yourself. Well, this here is one of them. This is Broadway hits. These are the kind that are "Time ," "Life," "Reader's Digest." Don't buy these. They suck; unless you want to listen to them. If you want to buy them for an investment, that's okay (I mean, it's not okay). But if you want to listen, it's okay. These are the kinds of things that you see in the thrift shops. Once they don't make it pass the thrift shops, they are in the thrift shop bins because nobody buys these. So, if you have a bunch of these, here's my recommendation to you: go near your trash receptacle, take a large stack, leave them, go back in the house and close the door. You do not want these any more. They are not good. They suck. Lawrence Welk? Bye bye!"
