I know alot of people on here collect vinyl. And I just picked up 'Kid A', the double 10" lp. Great pickup, this sounds so good on vinyl. What have you bought recently?

And what are your "must own" vinyls?
Are you too good to tango with the poor poor boys?

    I just got Lost Dogs. Do they realize how hard it is to slide the vinyl out of the sleeves that they give you. You actually have to pull on the vinyl. Bitch over. Pleased at how it sounds on the turntable.

    Also scored a ton of Peter Tosh. A couple of brand new presses and some used. Nothing sounds better from the record player than reggae.

    I picked up a used copy of "Buckingham-Nicks" a couple of months back....they were a huge draw in the Birmingham, Alabama area prior to joining Fleetwood Mac.

    I am fairly new to the vinyl scene. Bought most of Pink Floyd's studio albums and my most recent purchase is Godspeed You! Black Emperor's Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas To Heaven.

    Lost Dogs is so cool! I always listen to that record. Dude tell me about it, i had to fucking yank Kid A out of the sleeve! Haha. And the reggae thing, I was holding 40 oz. to Freedom, Funeral, and Kid A. I think I'll go back and get Sublime, it probably sounds so smooth on vinyl.

    I can't wait to pre-order the new PJ one, oh man I'm gonna be so excited until I get to tear that plastic off and spin that shit. Anyone have any rituals with their new vinyl? I always burn incense on my new cover, letting the ashes fall on it.

    My most recent LP purchase was The Traveling Wilburys Volume 1. I would like to finish off my Led Zeppelin LP's and my Beatles LP's. I have most all PJ vinyls with the exception of the Picture basketball disc and Soldier Field. A few things on my LP wishlist are; Temple Of The Dog and a white vinyl White Album.

    White Album on white vinyl would be oh so sweet. That's usually pretty expensive I think. I have a used copy that gets me through it. I need to pick up Revolver. And I also need to finish my Zep catalouge. I can't think of what I need for it.

    Revolver was the first album i bought! I agree about Lost Dogs and Kid A being hard to get out.

    I'dlike to finish my PJ and Radiohead collection (Binaural, Pablo Honey and the Bends)

    The last record I bought was Explosions in the Sky

    I got Wilco's A Ghost Is Born for my birthday last month. That's a great 180 g vinyl for anyone who's looking for a quality purchase.

    As for must-own pieces, I say Bob Dylan's Highway 61 Revisited. Every record collection should contain that one.
    Memphis 1994
    New Orleans 1995
    Fort Lauderdale 1996
    Atlanta & Birmingham 1998
    New Orleans 2000
    Tampa 2003
    Kissimmee 2004
    New York City (x 2) 2008
    East Troy (x 2) 2011
    Chicago & New Orleans 2013
    Hampton, Raleigh, Boston 2016
    Baltimore 2020

    Vinyl Kid A? Good find!

    My Beatles collection is all original vinyl, as are my first copies of my Who albums. We have three copies of Led Zeppelin IV and a ton more from the 70's. They're all playable, which I continuously remind my friends who think I should get the collection out of the living room. Philistines!

    I've seen a ghost is born in a few stores but never got it, always saw things i wanted more but it's always been on my list

    isn't it so exciting finding a new used record store w/ a nice selection? there was a great one chapell hill that had such a great collection of stuff i never saw anywhere else...almost every smashing pumpkins, man...or astro man?, exhaust...

    It wasn't the picture disc. Although they had that too, Im not a fan of those.

    I just won a 7" single (Broke) from Modest Mouse. It is out of pressing and somewhat rare.

    I have a copy of this -- one of my favorites in my collection. These days, a sealed copy of The Fragile will go for high bucks on eBay much like Binaural does. It's really sweet -- a three record set w/ a few additional tracks that are not on the CD.

    Latest vinyl purchases for me:

    In Utero - Nirvana (180g pressing)
    13 Tales from Urban Bohemia - Dandy Warhols
    Songs for the Deaf - QotSA (red vinyl)
    drive less - RIDE MORE!
