Someone will be along shortly to mention trying to record the top 40 charts onto a C60 tape using the pause button to cut out the DJ waffle.....

Let's face it though lad, everything was better then. All of it.

I've still got a copy of Atom heart mother on vinyl. In its' plastic. From about 1989.
No you can't. Sod off.

Dark side of the moon, £8.99 for the CD with 'free' MP3 rip download. Looks like we have a winner and now in my Amazon basket waiting for another £11.01 of expenditure to get free P&P (wonder what other albums I might want to splurge on?)

All my music is on vinyl and cassette, I've never bought any CDs other than for my mum. Since I stopped buying music 30 odd years ago, I've just listened to the radio, and over the last 10 years or so if I want to listen to my own choice I use You Tube.
There's some merit in having a DJ choose for you though, you don't get stuck in listening to the same stuff all the time. I've only ever bought one Hi FI system (in 1984), prior to that I had an assortment of home made stuff.
I still have my father's old 78s, although I've not played any of them in 50 odd years. This is one that used to amuse me as a kid.

Atom heart mother. Get it. Thank me later. Die contented and quintessentially English.

That was great. I might even still have some of those tapes down in the shed.
Suppose the modern equivalent is just ripping the audio files straight from YouTube. You just have to have a VPN as the sites are blocked in the UK.

Love GLC, have seen them live and they are awesome..
Just digesting the thread and this is probably best, Amazon and Bandcamp both let you order a physical copy but include digital files for download.
Alternatively do what I do, buy the discs and rip them to a PC.

My vinyl collection as a youngster, and CD collection as I got older were always incomplete, as I never had enough cash to buy everything I would have wanted. I have been using Spotify for about a decade. I know it's not good for the artists, but I can afford a tenner a month, and listen to everything I want to. Obviously I'd prefer to have a player and buy loads of vinyl, but tbh I rarely just sit and listen... Music accompanies what I'm doing. I have friends who spend a fortune on vinyl, but I was never completist anyway, and I don't really care about not having the physical product. I'm over 60, so I reckon I'm down wiff da kidz 🤔😎😁

The only music I buy is/are CD's and LP's from charity shops. 
I bought this and another oldie for £2 last week.
It's probably some boring old stuff, but I thought it's a bit of local history to look at rather than play.
