It’s an idea that’s so old-school you might as well be dipping your nib into the inkwell on your desk.

Classic Vinyl Sunday is also a great idea – choose a classic album and listen to it on the kind of sound equipment you couldn’t afford to buy yourself.

The event, which is overseen by Mark Whelan, is a reaction to the type of pinched sound quality you get from listening to music via MP3s and laptop speakers.

“The likes of Pink Floyd, The Beatles and Neil Young didn’t intend their albums to be listened to in an ultra-compressed digital format on weak laptop speakers, or on a shuffle playlist when they recorded them,” says Whelan.

“They intended their music to be heard in an attentive, relaxed environment on brilliant sound systems. Even Steve Jobs preferred to listen to vinyl over his own iTunes library.”

Each session takes place in Dublin’s Twisted Pepper, and before the listening session, a three-person panel will briefly talk about the album’s themes, what it means to them, and why they rate it so much.

The inaugural event takes place on November 30th, and will feature Pink Floyd's 1979 double album, The Wall (left) – the organisers have even sourced an original first-edition copy of it. The admission price (€10) will also get you a coffee or glass of wine to put you in the mood for the night.

The intention, says Whelan, is to run the event on the last Sunday of each month, and suggestions for future classic album nights are welcome.

Old school or not, this one could run and run.
