It's fairly straightforward to rip vinyl... turntable, amp, lead from headphone to mic/line-in on PC/laptop and a free bit of software called Audacity. There's plenty of YT videos. The only tricky bit is getting Audacity to listen to what you want it to hear.

You make it sound so simple!
I fall at the first hurdle, my amp doesn't have headphone hole.
Thinking about it I do know someone who could very probably do it for me.


Edit to add I do have another amp packed away that has a headphone hole but I don't have a pc or laptop.

Does it have a tape connector ? Specifically it should have tape-in for play-back, and tape-out for recording; you need to connect the tape out to your PC microphone port. The cable will need to have the right ends on it, but electrically it'll be fine. Note: you can't connect the record player output directly as it is a very low level signal and also needs "treatment" built in to the amp to sort out the frequency response correctly

Have a listen to Michael Karoli's guitar on Verfolgung by Irmin Schmidt from the Filmmusik LP, top stuff.

You'll need the original vinyl LP, it was never released on cd except as part of the Electro Violet box set but they strangely didn't include all the tracks from the original release, missing off, in my humble opinion, the two best tracks, Verfolgung being one of them. Maybe the fact that it hasn't had a cd release is why I can't find a vid of it on YouTube, I don't know.
Anyway, search it out, it's excellent. @delb0y is in luck as I can pop it on the gramophone the next time he's round my house.

I have to agree about this guitar solo. It's the one solo where I am accustomed to using the adjective "incendiary" about it. I used to have it on vinyl but sadly don't now. I've been trying to find it online but to no avail. I've even just been in a Twitter chat with Jomo Podmore - if anyone would know, he would. He doesn't. No chance of ripping it to a digital format, I suppose 😉

It looks like @carlcaulkett finally got it onto the tube.

Here it is:

The Smiths - Paint a Vulgar Picture. Pretty much the only guitar solo from Marr in the entire Smiths back catalogue.
