A vinyl was passed down to me from my father. While he was serving in the Navy during Vietnam, he purchased an album in Germany.

It was The Beatles White Album, in white vinyl, German pressed. Years later he played it only once to record it with cassette. He also gave me that cassette when he gave me the record. I still have both of them of course, though no more cassette player, lol.

I have yet to ever play the vinyl. I keep it it in new, pristine condition inside a UV-protective, moisture-proof, clear hard plastic single record case. The case can be hung on the wall, but I choose to keep it in storage. I'd be a bit soul-crushed if anything happened to it now.

IDK if it's monetarily valuable or not, don't really care. It's invaluable to me for sentimental reasons.

I don't see the point in keeping it in mint shape. I mean, unless it's an investment. I don't save any of the plastic wrap on my records. I'm not worried about preserving them for future generations. They are for me and I want to play them.

I got a new turntable last April. I played my father's copy of the white album soon after. It sounded terrible, but the memories of me listening to it when I was 10 and memorizing side 3 are priceless. I have my own copy of the white album on vinyl. It's a Capitol Records pressing, while my father's was the original Apple Records pressing.

Yeah this one is from Apple as well...the green apple in the center of the vinyl is the only color, it stands out well from the white vinyl.
