Vinyl Record Collection Thread - Time to dust off the old records

[Bob Page]

For the record, I know there's a thread about record players so why not one about our record collections. I'll go ahead and start with mine:

Not a collector but one thing I hope to get on Vinyl is the eraserhead soundtrack. The warmness really suits those organ pieces.

That old David Lynch movie? Man, I gotta watch that one.

I've got too many black circles.

@Bob Page That's a great pressing of AYE. Those 2010 pressings of Hendrix albums are apparently the best outside of OG pressings.

Edit: I just realized that's the 2014 version. Its apparently the same pressing as the 2010 reissue using the same plates. Same great quality apparently. Its just missing the booklet. AYE seems to be going up in price. That booklet is worth a lot of money! XD

I just got a copy of it at Walmart for $13.

I collect Japanese progressive rock and heavy metal records.
They are cheap and will come with pamphlets containing lyrics, which are sometimes difficult to find online still.
Some are super neat looking as well, I wish I had space to display more than a couple of them at a time.

I usually don't go for the ultra rare collector's items so this hobby really is cheap as can be for me.

As for modern releases I am out of the loop but I'd probably get the Turquoise Jeep one if I see it around.

I started collecting vinyl in 2008 but it's not really something that is a priority for me
Eventually I'm going to invest in a really good printer and start burning albums to cd-r then print out the cover and put it all in a plastic cd case.
Here is my collection:

Some of mine. I'm making my own index dividers on glow-in-the-dark fabric tape

I personally love my vinyl collection, not because of any obscure or rare or old records I may own, not even any other sound quality to be gained or lost by the format, but by the tactile and visual elements that are part and parcel of records. I would liken it akin to books: there’s a sense of connection between myself and a physical copy of a book that just can’t be emulated with a digital copy.

So, list and discuss records, turntables, and/or audio equipment you have or want!

You'd love my neighbor. He's got a massive vinyl collection strewn about his lawn ever since the last storm blew all the vinyl siding of off his house.

I got too many records. Except for albums I really like that I ordered or bought from a store, I use to go to flea markets and garage sales and get stacks of records for a dollar each, and I am talking good stuff. Unfortunately in recent years I can't find them as I use to and see too many albums overpriced.

I been meaning to downsize but boy its hard. I am glad that I can't get records by the amount I use to.
