It has appeal because it relates to:
1. Playback at loud volumes
2. Stereo gear
3. High end gear
4. Vintage gear
5. Cassettes
6. Coolness
7. Nostalgia
For most of us (even those born later, like me), they appeal to us in a multitude of ways.

Love the poster and remember the original ads, but if I get one I'll have to also get a pair of JBL L100 Century speakers (and they have gotten REALLY expensive lately).

Two of them:

Can't find anyone in the US with that poster in stock....

I am actually packing up to put them in storage. here are mine, I got them in the late 80s by mailing a check to Maxell and waiting 4-6 weeks. The original poster is huge, too big to frame, so then took them to a frame store and had them crop out the upper and lower blank spaces, I am happy to say that I have finally achieved this level of stereo nirvana on both my home and car stereo,
Hey all, not usually over here, hang out more on the TT forum but.....WELCOME TO THE VINYL VAULT! As you can see, not only is "blown away" a regular here, but so is Mick, PF, Beatles, Dan Fogelberg (RIP), Ric (RIP) among others. BTW, the collection has since grown, taking over all the linen closets in the guest bath (good use of otherwise wasted space IMHO
