There's so much vinyl!!!!!!!!!!

Newch91

Foo Fighters "Wasting Light" pre-ordered!

I also stopped by record store today and talked to the guy about RSD and some of the stuff coming out and he wrote it down and said keep one of each behind the counter that I mentioned. Here's what I mentioned:

PJ - Vs. and Vitalogy reissue
Wilco - live album + studio albums
Foo Fighters - Medium rare

I feel like I'm going to go broke after RSD!

Picked up Bowie's hunky dory for a pound yesterday. Last week was in my local record store which has just moved premises and they had a big box out front marked 'free vinyl - please help yourself!' Very cool, got some jazz and a neneh cherry 12“. Tomorrow I'm going to what I call my 'vinyl town' - the place is littered with vintage vinyl. You guys would have a field day if you saw it! No idea why, but you have to enter the town with a budget. I'll tell you what I find!

OK, I'll seek out something special for the thrilla - and I'll post here what I get. Any requests? (other than 1980s pop classics)

Things are going real real well in the vinyl town young kevin. Had to sit down in starbucks to catch my breath. I've picked you up a few gems which hopefully you'll like. Am still buzzing tho, cos was just in the barnardos charity shop, where here they have all the vinyl displayed and labelled properly, and they have loads of it. Was just counting up what I could afford where I saw their display.... Temple of the dog lp, 1991 black vinyl, £12!! I'm made up cos my copy of this is a purple vinyl and I swear it's a forgery, maybe even pressed from a cd, it's really really low volume and makes my speakers go funny. Got it from ebay ages ago, but this one is going to be the real deal! Vinyl town delivers me totd. Yay!

Will post what I got you, and got for myself when I'm back on my pc. Blew the money I had put aside for my brother's birthday present today, but have decided to treat him to a nice piece of VINYL I got today, the marquee 30 legendary years double lp. Think he'll like it cos he likes his rock but he doesn't have much, this is a great collection. If I don't part with it, he'll be getting nothing. Totd comes first!!

Just ordered this baby from eBay (I made sure to check out the seller and all the customer responses before I ordered and everyone had great things to say about him). It was $55 sealed. I'm absolutely in love with this movie.

Vinyl is coming Back!!!!!!!!!!!!!! there is so much to buy and so little money, I pre-ordered all Nirvana re-issue's 180 gram colored, Nirvana live at Reading vinyl, DMB, AIC, Dead Weather, and of course PJ Backspacer, i just might order the Foo-Fighters Greatest Hits? What has everyone else been buying? or what are your new editions?

I love the perception that people have that vinyl is "coming back" it never went anywhere...

I also have been buying vinyl since I began listening to music, and I agree it never went anywhere BUT I can see where the OP is coming from, that it really has taken off lately (last 5 years or so?). Take a look at newsletter #23 and also at a maroon colored 10C mailer from April 2006 that have Riot Act 2LP for $12 and Lost Dogs 3LP for $20, they had so many on their hands they could not get rid of and discounted them heavily.

Just got my first turntable in the mail today. It's a starter turntable but I have been listening to it throughout the day and it sounds great! I'm used to listening to albums in my car, through headphones, or with a iHome type of setup so this is definitely an improvement.

LPs I listened to today:

Ten Redux
Dark Side of the Moon reissue
Aja by Steely Dan
Neon Bible by Arcade Fire

I think I'm hooked!!

Picked up The White Stripes debut reissue today and it sounds incredible! White Stripes on vinyl is a must!!

i shit and i stink

Damn, I love a vinyl trip. 40 quid in my pocket and I managed to pick up:

Stevie Wonder 'Talking Book'
Elvis Costello 'My Aim Is True'
McCartney 'II'
U2 'Rattle and Hum'
REM 'Green'
Neil D 'The Jazz Singer'
Stiff Little Fingers 'Inflammable Material'
Lennon 'Double Fantay'
and a really cool various artists thing called 'Psychotic Reactions: Early American Rock Groups'

I didn't find any unkown gems or really obscure stuff for a decent price but it is still a bargain I reckon.

A good haul! And weren't you saying a while back you never came across much decent second hand vinyl??

Today's obligatory purchase was a mint condition mono double lp entitled - 'The Greatest Jazz Concert Ever' - where apparently in 1953 a Toronto jazz society invited a 'Supergroup' of jazz musicians of the day to come and play together at Massey Hall. They got Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie, Charlie Mingus, Max Roach and Bud Powell all on stage at the same time, with no rehearsal.



Not listened yet, but I do like me some jazz. Collecting old records is a great way of exposing yourself to music you would never know anything about, I think. Is good fun - I seem to come across quite a lot of these interesting records......!

200 gram is it now?? :crazy: I think they should go back to using some of the same wax they used in the 70s - slightly softer - some of those records sound so much better - and the weight is kind of medium often.
