BelizeIt Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 ^Probably the same people desperately holding onto their Tape Decks, VCR Tapes, and Rotary Dialed Phones. Actually there is a large collectors market for vinyl records. You can definitely spend a small fortune for some quality titles. (Just watch the opening seen of the movie "The Rock" when Nicolas Cage receives a vinyl record in the mail, which he spent huge $$$ for) I myself once owned many vinyl records, but they have been gone for a long time.....

kk_slider11290 Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 I do, even though just for collecting purposes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nrthwnd Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 ~ ~ ~ I have a HUGE collection of original New York Broadway Cast Albums in LP form. I think it's nearly 400 records! That said, we have a combo record player (in 33 1/3 AND 45 rpm, speeds!) and radio, so I'll probably hold onto everything till I absolutely have to part with it all..... Not everything is in CD form nowadays, heh heh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonathan h Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 Yeh, I own a record played. My dad has loads of old vinyls however I buy new ones. Since Christmas, when I first got the record player, I've been slowly building up my collection. It's just a shame that rock/metal vinyls are so hard to come by. My collection so far is: Iron Maiden - Death On The Road LP Hard-Fi - Stars Of CCTV LP The Darkness - One Way Ticket To Hell And Back LP Coldplay - X&Y LP Black Sabbath - Sabbath Bloody Sabbath LP Hard-Fi - Cash Machine 7" Hard-Fi - Limited Edition Signed Better Do Better 7" Hard-Fi - Limited Edition Signed Better Do Better Square 7" Roadrunner United - The All Star Sessions LP It's only a small collection but I'm slowly building it up.

NoahTheBoa Posted April 24, 2006 Share Posted April 24, 2006 My mom has a bunch of good albums from when she was a kid, but we don't have a record player so they get to collect dust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nrthwnd Posted April 24, 2006 Share Posted April 24, 2006 (edited) ^ Great idea! Wish I'd thought of that..... Hmmm. Rogers & Hammerstein BLASTING in the bedroom; Sondheim SCREAMING in the living room; and Lloyd Webber HOWLING in....the bathroom???? Well, somebody's gotta do it, huh?

ebl Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 We have a whole bunch---way too many to list here. But then we grew up with them. Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lapseofreason Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 Between my husband and I, we probably have a few hundred records. And we do play them regularly. For some odd reason, vinyl just sounds better than CD on some albums. Oh, and Wes, Kid A totally kicks ass on vinyl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Misfits, TSOL, The stupids, Dead Kennedys, Social Distortion, Agent Orange ect, along with some KISS and a bunch of old rap 12" singles. I wish I had a turntable.

no_brain_er Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Didn't feel like starting a new thread, so I'm bringing this back (and I mean WAAAAAAY back) from the dead. I started collecting records in October 2011, and in the last year and three months, I've managed to acquire almost 150 records, including 7" and 10" records. It's an expensive hobby (each new record typically costs between $12 and $30, and I also just spent $500 on a new turntable/receiver/speakers), but it's a lot of fun! Anyone else?

thrillerman1 Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 ^I imagine Athens is a great place to hunt for vinyl records although it might be quiet picked over by all the hipsters. Is School Kids still there? What about that store next to the 40 Watt? If you're ever in Nashville, we have some GREAT records stores here you should check out - namely Grimey's, which is probably the best record store in the southern US if not eastern half.

Haha, you just have to know when to go to avoid the hipster crowd. They tend to go for the vintage shops and used sections, though, and I usually buy newer albums. Also, School Kids closed last year. Sucks, too, because they were my favorite shop downtown. That's not to say I don't like Wuxtry, though (I LOVE Wuxtry), but School Kids always seemed to have slightly better prices. The shop next to the 40 Watt is still here, though. (Also also, I'll definitely make sure to stop by Grimey's if and when I visit Nashville. It looks awesome. I could probably spend an hour or two in there, easily.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLUSHIE Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 Surprising to see that I posted in here back in 2006. Probably fairly shortly after that I got pretty into dubstep (before it became really popular and turned into crap). Back then most releases came out on vinyl only, so if you wanted to own some stuff buying vinyl (online and having it mailed overseas) was the only legit way of getting anything. Now most releases are digital, and many of the old releases have since been re-released digitally. I spent a significant amount of money on vinyl, and my collection really isn't all that big. I have about 60 dubstep releases and a handful of other stuff (Ratatat, Beastie Boys, DJ Shadow, Streetlight Manifesto, etc.), but many of the ones I have are actually considered classics and have gone up in value. Just as an example a copy of DMZ013 recently sold on ebay for over $25, while that's not a ton of money that is over double what I payed. That's $12.50 per song!

thrillerman1 Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 ^^ Crap, I can't believe School Kids closed. That's a bummer. I remember only getting to visit there once when I came over to see Interpol play at the 40 Watt. <--- Good to hear the record store there is still in operation. Anyway, nice to see another TPR vinyl collector. I guarantee you will not be disappointed with Grimey's. They're always having cool in-stores too with live bands so you may want to check their calendar from time to time before making a trip over. I've seen some awesome bands play there for free. Oh, just remembered, Record Store Day is a great time to visit! In addition, we have Third Man Records (Jack White's empire) which also has bands playing live occasionally. And then there's several other vinyl stores around town. Be glad to help you out if you're ever over this way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bert425 Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 I have over 10,000 vinyl in "Sound Warehouse" Record crates (remember those??). Mostly full albums (lots of metal, including multiple copies of every KISS album - many of them bought when they originally were released), and mainly focusing on the 70's-late 80's. what's not full albums are 12" singles (at least 2K of them) -- mainly 80's Industrial, Dance,Goth,Alternative music -- since I used to get the new singles every week at the Record Rack in Houston after hearing them in the club #'s on lower Westhimer. I guess you could say I'm a collector, since most of what I have is worth quite a bit of $$$ particularly the 12" singles from classic industrial bands, as are the rare picture discs and "blue label" KISS albums. but I still do listen to the vinyl fairly often.

STR8FXXXINEDGE Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 I have a bunch of records. I've got crates full of old Country and Jazz that you can find at every garage sale and thrift store, and I probably have 150+ Hip Hop, Hardcore, Indie, and Metal records (Old & New) including first pressings and test presses. There are some LP's and even 7" out there that are worth a butt-load of money, including some newer limited pressings. I used to DJ so I have a bunch of Hip Hop and House (probably around 4 crates or so) up till about 2000. Other than that I still have an pretty impressive punk and hardcore 7" collection. Any buyers? What do you have that you're selling? I'm interested in all of the above genres, minus House. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
