I'm the youngest of five - three girls and two boys. There was one record player for the seven of us. It was good for me, because I got to hear everyone else's music.

Imelda May

I thought my Beatles LPs sounded pretty good on a record player, but that was before I had heard a CD.

Alastair Wood

No generation has escaped it - one morning, your skill with the eight-track or the record player or the cotton gin suddenly ceases to impress. It's just one of those inevitable disappointments that come with growing up, like the realization that Santa doesn't exist or the way that music always takes a turn for the worse after you turn 30.

Alexandra Petri

I buy records - vinyl. I have a record player at home.

Amber Heard

When I wrote 'Marvin Gaye,' my whole intention was to make a record that people would put on a record player... and just instantly make out with each other.

Charlie Puth

I still love records, and I've been fortunate that my parents bought me a record player so I didn't just have my vinyls to stare at!

Gabrielle Aplin

Comic books and radio were my escape. I even remember 3-D comic books where you put on the red-and-green glasses and Mighty Mouse would punch you in the face. It was the literature of the day for kids my age who were too bored with listening to 'Peter and the Wolf' on the record player.

George A. Romero

I didn't have a record player.

Harrison Birtwistle

One thing that did get me into a lot of different types of music was when I was very young, the local record store went out of business and they were selling off all the vinyl. I remember going in - I was probably 16 or 17 and I'd just gotten a record player as a present. It was like hitting the jackpot: all these records for $3 apiece.

Imelda May

We have a secret project at Third Man where we want to have the first vinyl record played in outer space. We want to launch a balloon that carries a vinyl record player.

Jack White

We leave TVs on in our house. I listen to my record player constantly to just hear music. I'm really intrigued by this idea of solitude.

Katee Sackhoff

I was two and a half and my folks would put it on the record player and I would run around the house screaming, but I haven't been that hip since.

Leo Kottke

I had daydreams and fantasies when I was growing up. I always wanted to live in a log cabin at the foot of a mountain. I would ride my horse to town and pick up provisions. Then return to the cabin, with a big open fire, a record player and peace.

Linda McCartney

I didn't own a record player when I was younger. I just played every day after school and then started gigging around town. I heard bands and songs through friends of mine, but a lot of what I picked up on was learned by traveling through college towns.

Michael McDonald

I have this old speaker set with amps and a record player from the 1970s. And I'm slowly collecting vinyl again.

Michiel Huisman

When I got into the Beatles, I must have only been about six or seven but old enough to take notice. We used to have an old radiogram which, for readers of a certain age, was like a big cabinet thing with a record player inside it.

Paul Weller

We were a musical family, and we had record players. It would be a family thing to listen to music together.

Rag'n'Bone Man

When I was a tiny tot, we only had one record player in the house, so there was either Genesis on it or the Jungle Book or The Beatles as well, and various other things.

Rick Astley

I tried to emulate my favourite guitar players, the old bluesmen like Blind Willie McTell and Big Bill Broonzy. I used to sit by the record player and copy Chuck Berry and the Beatles. You can never copy someone completely, so you end up developing your own style.

Ronnie Wood

My mom probably has a record player. I might need to get one.
