![]() ![]() From the depths of my broken soul, I beg you, Frank: ship the Endless vinyl and end this misery. I wish I could exchange the time I’ve spent waiting for this damned LP. No returns or exchanges.” That’s what you wrote in that email. Did I buy hope that day, Frank? Did I spend my hard-earned money on a mere concept?! I wouldn’t put it past you. Perhaps the Endless vinyl is up there, a place we can only remember but not actually travel to. Maybe it’s those stairs you built so long ago. You, Frank, you may be operating on a level higher than any of us can comprehend.
