    I look forward to picking up a record each pay period :D

    I tell you I have missed the thrill and enjoyment of searching and buying music

    With the rise of torrents, I lost interest in buying CDs

    Plus the sound of vinyl alone is enough to bring into the record buying world that you all inhabit :lol:



    Amen. I'm not joking when I say my life has improved significantly since getting back into my record buying :lol: My love of and passion for music has never been greater. Three years ago I had pretty much reduced myself to maintaining a massive itunes library. Looking back I can see that is a very poor quality of life :lol:

    yeah me too, I have become more passionate about music in the last 2-3 years, probably because I picked up an instrument. I was sick of digital music too, I love my itunes and Ipod, but the convenience has left me wanting more out of my music experiences. My buddy's record player showed me the way

    I hear ya! It's quite the same for me :) I noticed that by getting a turntable and listening to vinyl, my musical interests developed a lot. Everything's a lot more diverse now and I hardly listen to mp3s. It's a pity that PJ vinyl is so expensive, though, cause I tend to listen to vinyl now exclusively and cannot afford all of their records ... So they are the only ones at the moment who get their fair share of mp3 and CD :lol: But you cannot stress it enough - once you caught it, it's like an addiction :lol: Welcome to the club, smarchee :wave:

    Ah, the good old 'plum' Atlantic label? I inherited an excellent copy of that from my friend's dead Aunt, and it sounds superb - one of my best sounding records. Such a great album.

    Layla sounds amazing on a nice turntable - side one on its own has some of the best sounds coming off it that you are likely to hear in your life. I got a first pressing of Layla this year, and I tend to use this to adjust the settings on my turntable - I was doing this yesterday - once I get Layla sounding at its best, then pretty much everything else works too.

    God bless vinyl!

    Another bank holiday, another record fair! I'm really just filling in my gaps now.

    Picked up a nice first pressing of Exile on Main Street - I couldn't afford anything else after that, but it was a reasonable price for one of my favourite albums :D

    Go smarchee go!

    This isn't a new purchase (bought it in 96), but I heard stuff on the radio, and dusted it off today for the first time in years - sounds superb!

    Ash, 1977

    I was reading the other day that Ash were all set to support PJ on their US tour that year (96), but the singer got sick or something. That would have been interesting.
