It’s pretty clear that vinyl is the most social of music mediums: It’s fun to pull out records at a party. Everyone can see clearly what’s being played and even pass the cover around. Eventually, the paper inner sleeve is lost, or turned sideways for easy access. Then the record leaps out and rolls clattering to the floor. A capsized bottle of champagne rolls across its abandoned surface. The click hiss of the needle hitting the inner circle repeats endlessly, but nobody notices. The party is now in full descent.
