Launching the Retro Blog
Hello and welcome into the world of Retro Blog, where we dive into all sorts of topics, chosen freely and instinctively in no particular order - from the history of music to album selections and reviews, all the way to hi-fi gear and the charm of analog sound. A playground from enthusiast to enthusiast.
We don’t follow a strict plan here, nor do we chase trends. We write about whatever captures our attention in the moment: maybe a record rediscovered after years, maybe an artist who shaped the world more than we realized, or an old turntable that still outperforms many modern devices. This is a space where music isn’t just listened to, it’s explored and narrated.
We’ll open forgotten drawers, look at the evolution of music, test equipment, wander into niche and overlooked corners, compare different album editions, and try to understand why some sounds stay with us for a lifetime. We’re not academics, and we’re not trying to be, but we are curious, and that curiosity is something we want to share.
If you love the feeling of a record starting to spin, if you enjoy digging through crates for rarities, or simply appreciate vintage sound and want to discover great music, then you’re exactly in the right place. Get comfortable, drop the needle, and let’s see where the story takes us.
— with passion,
Team Retro

Deep Purple
By: Florin Zgripcea On 12/07/2025Pentru Tony, nu am stiut cum sa raspund exact mesajului tau si am postat simplu, pastrand subiectul.
Si eu am cautat exact cele doua albume pe vinyl… si in tara si in afara tarii, nu am gasit decat la preturi mari, am renuntat. Le-am luat pe CD… sunt singurele albume Deep Purple ce le am pe CD, din toata discografia lor de studio. Le-am scris chiar si lor un mail in care ii anuntam ca ar fi binevenita o reeditare.. mi-a raspuns cineva din echipa lor… ca o sa transmita informatia mai departe.
Bafta la cumparaturi!

Felicitari
By: Florin Zgripcea On 12/07/2025Felicitari pentru aceasta initiativa, sper sa fie un loc unde aflam informatii despre trupe, albume, scule si nu doar…. informatii pe care nu le stim si le aflam acum sau informatii pe care le stim si doar ne reamintim sau informatii la care contribuim cu diverse completari ce lipsesc.

By: Antoniu Octavian Muresanu On 10/23/2025Salutare fratilor!
Caut albumele "Abandon" 1998 si "Bananas" 2003 ale celor de la Deep Purple(vinil sau CD).
Stiu ca exista pe Discogs,dar prefer sa incerc sa le gasesc pe aici,pe la noi.
Poate stie cineva ceva...
