The Vinyl Collector's Thread

Son of JayJamJah · 09-28-2007, 12:30 AM

I do, anyone I like who releases and LP on Vinyl will get me to buy it. Also I still shop for used records constantly as I Travel, I got a Beatles Let it Be LP for $6 at a garage sale 4 or 5 years ago, what a find!

I found an original copy of Cooper's "Welcome to my Nightmare" this past winter. That day I bought a good 5 or 6 records at a little shop in the basement of an apartment building.

So, yes, I do buy records.

Lack of a record player, so no I don't. I can't play vinyl in my truck, it's not very portable and there's no vinyl drive on my laptop. I think it's cool that bands still put out vinyl, but I'll just stick to cd's.

I do. I love my records, i don't have too many new ones but I've got a decent stack of old ones.

I've got a ton of records. I'm even starting to get some collectables.

Due to moving to a smaller home a few years ago I had no choice but to sell my 300+ collection of vinyl. I still miss it and would love to start collecting again. 70's Floyd etc sounds so much better on vinyl to me. Problem is I have a family and a small home. I have approx 600 cd's approx 700 dvd's and a stash of books, I think my other half would finally snap due to the amount of room I take up. Who knows; when my kids leave home I may re-invest. I do miss the covers though!

Same here, I've bought many more in my life though. I love giving cds as a gift. It can be very personal, and the thank yous never end when it's an album which is hard to get.

I gave away a few of my favorite albums for someones birthday, and now I can't find them anywhere. =(
