I have albums from the 1980s I listened to over and over again in my car and
in a Walkman, that over the years got flat spots, spots where the tape had
gotten crimped, where it would slow down, and spots where you became
accustomed to the sound wavering.

WhenI listen to the MP3 versions I replaced them with, I still here those
imperfections in my mind.
