Preston Prospectus

1. Thesis:

Vinyl records are the right choice for listing to any type of music.

2. Reflection:

The reason that this matters to me so much and why it would make a difference to me if I were able to demonstrate the validity of my argument is because this is something that very much interests me and it’s something that I am really passionate about. Writing a paper on this subject would really help me describe what I really feel about the differences in sound. It could help show that there really is a difference in the sounds and intimacy. It will also help draw a light on people who also believe this to be true as well as me. This is something that I want to talk about and bring people to know what I mean. This could really help people want to start listening to records like I do and get them more influenced that vinyl is the way to go.

3. What I know and don’t know:

I know a ton about this topic and really could persuade somebody to go out and by a record player and start listening to records. I know that right off the bat that when you listen to a record and a record player that you are going to be hit with a complealty different sound. The sound is going to be warmer due to the friction that the record needle and the record make while the record is in motion. I know that there are many differ4nt types of records and they all have different sounds. I also know that records are worth much more than any other form of tangible music. I want to learn about why other people think that records are the way to go and how they feel. I want to know how records originated, and when. I want to know how CDs work and how much music they can hold. I want to know why people don’t use records as much as they use CDs and other forms of music.

4. Questions:

Why dis records die off? Why do people still listen to them? Why don’t people listen to them? What makes them more valuable than other forms of music? Why are there so many types of records? Why do records sound different?

5. List of possible interview:

People that prefer records over other forms of music. Record store owners and employees. Record collectors.
