Our media librarian has been faithfully preserving some pieces from our long-withdrawn LP collection. Perfect for a jazz display.

MrBook Love this! You work at a library? 7y
swynn Yes: a medium-sized academic one, so we don't do a lot of displays. But a few. This one was fun for the vintage recordings. 7y

Nute This is a revolving jazz display at your library? A great first choice. He was a favorite of my father's many favorite jazz musicians. I really like vinyl for jazz music. There is a greater depth of quality. Welcome to Litsy. You'll love it here. 7y
swynn It's a display with revolving themes, highlighting resources from our collection on different subjects; this theme was jazz, but has just changed to gardening. I confess I do not hear the differences between vinyl and digital the way better listeners do; but I have an amateur's love of the music represented on these albums, and was really pleased to find we still had these. 7y
