buy unknown albums before listening

Missing that sense of discovery and wonder with music streaming platforms? Head to your nearest thrift shop/music store/garage sale and pick out an album that catches your eye but which you know nothing about. When you bring it home and put it on, the anticipation of what genre/instrument/voice/language will start playing is unreal. You might find a new favourite, and at the very least if you like the album cover you have a new piece of artwork to display in your home.
