Well, I once bought a vinyl album that I don't like, and the irony is, that I listened to snippets of it on the headphones that record shops used to have to preview records (remember them??!!). I liked the bits that I heard, but was too young and bashful to demand a good long listen. Worst album I own. And by a member of a decent band. (Bloody solo projects!) No I won't name him. Some others might like it- just not to,my taste. So a good preview of unknown music is essential if you don't want to waste cash.
