Help! I keep buying vinyl!!!

[Hairsonfire]

It's like a sickness! Ever since I bought I turntable I am like a junkie! I walk into the record store and comb through all the records and put those I am interested in off to the side until I have checked out every single one and then of those I pick the ones I absolutely HAVE to have. I am trying not to replicate my entire CD Collection but some are just too good to pass up. In a twist of irony today I purchased Synchronicity by the Police and remembered that when I bought my very first CD Player back in 1985, Synchronicity was the very first CD that I ever bought! Arrrrrrhhhhhggggggg Some body HELP ME!!!! LOL! I love this stuff. I also picked up Dark Side of the Moon and Goodbye Yellow Brick Road.

Are you buying new or used? I can relate. Wait til you hit that used mother load. You'll need that excitement and enthusiasm to get you through cleaning 100 LP's...

I do like to support local shops, but I got a free gift cars for my favorite online reggae shop, with the stipulation I had to make a big purchase. Wholesale rates and a decent sized gift card suckered me in so now I got a fat stack of reggae on the way, including:

Revolutionaries - Satta Dub Strictly Roots: Disco Mix
Revolutionaries - Revival Dub Roots Now: Full Charge
Lone Ranger - On The Other Side Of Dub
Skatalites - Play Ska
Abyssinians - Satta
Tommy McCook - Brass Rockers (With King Tubby And The Aggrovators)
Prince Jammy: Crucial Dub
Jimmy Radway & The Fe Me Time All Stars - Dub I
Joe Gibbs & The Professionals - No Bones For The Dogs: Dubs (2 LP)
King Tubby, Clancy Eccles All Stars - Sound System International Dub
Lee Perry - Blackboard Jungle Dub
Sly & Robbie, Tommy McCook, Etc. - Dial M For Murder: In Dub Style
Keith Hudson - Playing It Cool
Alton & Hortense Ellis

Yeah, I've got some serious listening to do soon.

[poppachubby]

Hahaha noob... if timing is everything in comedy, then you are a genius. I really should just delete the spam...

[harley .guy07]

yeah I was at the main music store here in joplin and the had a metric ton of vinyl and had plenty of titles I love and it make me want to hurry up and get my damn table done and start jammin. But I guess good things come to people that take their time and do it right and make the right decisions. But at least I know that I now have a good place to find good titles in the small town of Joplin

Ha ha, that's how new I am to this vinly world. I have only bought new records and have not had that experience yet. I did get some used records from Salvation Army a long time ago (years) and I must have been very lucky because they look like and sound like they have never been played. It was only about 25 or so all together, all classical and jazz, but, still, what are the odds of someone giving away totally unused records? Hey, Harley Guy, where is Joplin? Looks like the East Coast (and Rhode Island where I live) is going to get slammed with snow so I will have some time to sit and listen to some records tomorrow.

Hey Poppa C - still trying to figure out how to post photos. I am clueless. I know you said I could upload them to my profile but I still have not figured that out!

Go to flickr.com and start an account. Once you have some pics loaded it's quite easy to link them here. Let me know once you have the acc't.

The odds of someone giving away near-mint LPs at the onset of the Compact Disc are pretty good. I'll bet a great many unplayed records from the mail-order record clubs went to Salvation Army and Goodwill.

Ummmm...titles please!

I have now edited and posted a picture. Maybe we should post all of our newly-acquired vinyl here from now on.

Sounds Good!! DaNG, THAT'S A HUGE HAUL! Is that the Cars in the background?

Candy-O has that unforgettable cover, huh?

That is a great score!!!

...and the thing I love about that store is they don't put high price tags on the good stuff. A classic jazz album can be just as cheap as a pop album. That means you have to be fast, though.

I was in a shop today and apparently someone with the same musical tastes as I had in the 70s had just dropped off their collection. The New Arrivals bin was filled with near-mint Nazareth, Boston, Led Zeppelin, ELO, Heart, Van Halen, Blue Oyster Cult, and the like. I was tempted to buy probably 20 of them, mostly to upgrade in condition...some of mine are worn from a poor turntable. I ultimately decided against all but two of them and headed to the jazz section. I came up with five Verve, Impulse, Mercury, Columbia and Blue Note so I was good to go. All were $2.98 each, as is typical for this particular store. A good day.

You've got a problem?! For every Young-Holt Unlimited gem, I have a Don Johnson (yes, that Don Johnson) embarrassment. When it's a buck, it's hard to walk away if for no other reason than to say you own something that ridiculous.

[JoeE SP9]

You guys came to the party late. In the 80's when "perfect sound forever" was released I was buying vinyl from people who bought into the myth. I more than tripled my vinyl collection in a two year period. Most the additions were from "audiophiles" dumping vinyl for CD.
I didn't have to go to GW or a "Thrift Store". I would go to a friends home and pick what I wanted from collections that were well cared for. Three or four bucks apiece was what I payed for pristine vinyl.
I still check GW and other places periodically. It's a lot more work now and the stuff usually needs serious cleaning. The "Spin Clean" is the cheapest thing I've heard of for cleaning vinyl. You can get one for $60 or get the complete system (extra everything) for $100. I'm ordering one.

I even clean new vinyl.

The only thing I have concerning Don Johnson is his picture on the Miami Vice soundtrack LP.

Hey man, cut me some slack. I was born in '77.

[harley .guy07]

Hey man, cut me some slack. I was born in '77.

I did not realize you were around my age. I was born in 74 so I am just a wee bit older but it is nice to see someone with like interests that is around my age. We both know about the new theater stuff but our passion resides in the world of simple two channel music bliss weather it be a old golden tube amp powering some vintage Sound Dynamics or My 17 year old Adcom 545 Mk2 powering some 16 year old highly modified Paradigm Monitor 7's but that is just two people's system with a slightly different approach but with the same target in mind.

In around 1990, a co-worker was getting out of vinyl (and tape). He offered to let me have any of his 200 or so classic jazz LPs (for free) I wanted before he took them to sell. I chose only 20 or so. To this day, I still kick myself. I didn't have the money to pay him a fair price for the whole batch but was too shy to take any more than I did.

[JoeE SP9]

That was a very nice thing to do. I'll bet that 20 or so you took off his hands are ones you still play and treasure today.
