It’s my favorite, number-one preference at home, to go put a vinyl record on my great grandmother’s old record player. Which reminds me, I need to get somebody to do some maintenance on it. It needs a new needle.” You can bet I’ll be standing in line for my copy, that is if I don’t get a few advanced copies to give to my readers first!
