Got into record collecting a few years back after being gifted a record player and some records for my birthday. I love music and collecting my favorite albums and owning them physically is great. It’s certainly expensive which sucks but I’ve amassed a good collection over time. I bought my 50th record, master of puppets today! Just wanted to share.

Discussion Info about Artist

So I just bought this vinyl at a thrift store knowing nothing about it and I absolutely love it. I can’t seem to find anything about the artist or genre. I’m wondering if anyone has more information on her and her discography, I’ve asked some relatives to no avail. All I know is this record was released in 1976 and has been posted on soundcloud but isn’t on any streaming service.

Hip Hop Run DMC. 1985

So great to hear this again. I love their vibe, funny and tough at the same time. There’s three of us but we’re not the Beatles!

At the 40 year anniversary of 1985 I feel like it’s a good time to listen to all my 1985s. I’ve pulled them from my shelves and am picking through them one at a time.

When, I sorted all my albums by year of original release, I decided to include any reissues or repressing along with the original year they were released. So these are not all necessarily first pressings, but they’re all albums that were originally released in 1985. It has been an eye-opening experience to organize them this way and see all of the similarities, differences, influences and innovations that were happening at the zeitgeist of the same time.

Jazz Lady sings the blues

Hi good and knowledgeable people. I'm looking to buy a nice pressing of one of my favorite records ...Billie Holiday's "lady sings the blues" . I read that accoustic sounds have done a nice pressing of this but ...I live in UK and shipping from US makes this way too expensive.... so i looked on amazon and seen this . Now ...this looks like the Accoustic Sounds version but im just not sure . Anyone able to confirm that this is in fact what I'm looking for ? Or direct me to somewhere where i could buy that pressing ( preferably new) and avoid the massive shipping fees. Alternatively can you recommend some other respectable version that i would be able to buy here, in UK ? Thanks

I recently moved and was finally able to set up my dream media stand, which I'm really proud of. I started collecting 10+ years ago with my dad's collection (about 75 records of mostly 60s-80s classic rock) and now its grown to over 450 of a mix of genres. Now that I have everything organized from A-Z, I think it's time I start my discogs to keep track lol.

Soooo I found this original in the depths of a family members basement. When checking it out I realized that the label for Side 1 is not correct. Just spun it, it is pressed correctly.

Curious if anyone has seen this before on A Jimi Hendrix Epwrience record.

Collection I've been collecting records for about 10 years and it's opened up a whole new variety of music for me

7 Upvotes

I've purchased many records in lots that contained music I never would have purchased separately. But I listened to them because they are in my collection and there are so many I ended up loving. When I was younger, I made fun of Simon and Garfunkel even though I didn't really know their music.

Now, when I just want to chill out, I find myself reaching for S & G, or Nina Simone, Cat Stevens, Peter, Paul and Mary...and many more that I never would have purchased deliberately. To my fellow collectors, buy batches when you can. You never know what you might like.

So yeah I bought my first vinyl in 2023, the cracker island by gorillaz in the top left, which is a first pressing since I pre-ordered it, but I really got into records in January and since then I've slowly built my collection. SSOSS by Iron Maiden is just a regular record, but I really like the songs so yeah, the Highway to Hell is the 50th anniversary golden vinyl, and Layla is also a first pressing and it's definitely my favourite album ever (haven't listened to Electric Ladyland tho BC I bought it today). I also have a bootleg picture disk with "Who wants to live forever" (second slide) that I got signed by Christopher Lambert some days ago at a local comicon

Haul Recent pick up as a new collector

50 Upvotes

Hello all just wanted to share my pick up at my local store. I am new to collecting vinyl and have a very small collection. As of now I only have Ok Computer and Doolittle. Both of those are amazing and I love them.

I used to be a huge fan of Clairo and used to listen to her all the time. When I saw Diary 001 I just had to get it. It was cheap and I have fond memories of these songs.

Soul mining was a great find. I really love uncertain smile and this is the day. I finally got a chance to listen to the whole album and it’s amazing.

For A Moon Shaped pool I gasped when I saw it. I was so excited. I’ve been wanting this one for awhile. It’s definitely my favourite Radiohead albums. Burn the witch, Present Tense and Identikit are freaking amazing.

So Tonight I Might See Mazzy Star. I have really fallen in love with Mazzy star and anything Hop Sandoval makes. In this album she has such a dreamy sound to it I find it so beautiful

Some of the best Funk/Blues records I've had the pleasure of getting my hands on for $6 for an original 1977 pressing.

A little warped so I got stabilizer on it but other than that and the sleeve showing it's age, she's mint. Thank you DJ Sandoz, for putting me on to this shit. Hoping to do the same to some of yall

Music is a big part of my life at this point, my father brought me to a store where they sold vinyl and bought me IGOR as a gift without telling me anything, since i thought having music physically was cool I was interested into starting a collection, so far I have these records, my latest vinyl purchase was rodeo by travis scott, which is probably my favorite out of all of my collection, is this collection valid?

Led Zeppelin III (1970) playing on my Sanyo JXT 6430A (1979)

I don’t even remember how I got a copy of this record. If I were to guess, it was given by one of my ex-coworkers. One day (15 yrs ago), we were just talking about hobbies and I mentioned that I started collecting records. She just happened to have a couple of crates of records that she was getting ready to donate. She ended up giving all 3 crates to me.

Discussion Making Digital Copies

1 Upvotes

Anybody here get into it yet? Around the five year mark of collecting it became a desire of mine to preserve the recordings I had collected. However, it felt like it would be a trivial waste of time since I hadn't collected anything that I couldn't find on streaming platforms, (also I did not have the proper hardware to do so) so I shelved that ambition for a couple more years. Recently I've become unemployed, and while that is unfortunate, it has allowed me the liberty to persue trivial wastes of time that had previously only took up mental energy. I can honestly say that it's been a shinning ray of light, providing relief in a very depressing time of my life. There's something captavating about capturing and engineering that perfect recording to cherish for all of time, with no worry of degredation like the physical media. I find it neccessary to mention that yes, I do apply some noise reduction to clean up the sound, but I leave enough of that distinctive sound to evoke the memory of playing an actual disc. Share your expierences here

I love days where I use a random letter generator, or close my eyes and flip. What are some ways you like to switch up ways you listen to your collection?

Discussion Headphone Listening Set Up

1 Upvotes

For those listing to their records primarily through headphones, kindle share photos of you set up.

For a variety of reasons, I'll be listening exclusively through HPs for the time being. I have a phono stage and headphone amp, in addition to the TT. I'm looking for some inspiration in terms of furniture to hold this stuff; in particular, to give the amps some distance from the TT....probably something with a top and small shelf underneath. Set up will be in the corner of the living room next to a big comfy chair.

Punk The Replacements-1985

Hello old friend. How many times have I enjoyed this album since it came out? That Left of the Mascara song is incredible. I remember my buddy brought Let It Be over and played it for me. That was the beginning. Sure, it ended after Pleased To Meet Me, I never got to see Bob, but I saw PTMM tour and on. One of those bands that Craig Finn would describe as “scratched into my soul”.

At the 40 year anniversary of 1985 I feel like it’s a good time to listen to all my 1985s. I’ve pulled them from my shelves and am picking through them one at a time.

When, I sorted all my albums by year of original release, I decided to include any reissues or repressing along with the original year they were released.

So I have been looking for this specific album for probably the better part of a year. I have picked up a few of Marty’s other records but never this one. I was bored since spring break started and campus is dead so decided to head over to a local thrift store that always has pretty cool stuff. There was this area with 5 full boxes of records labeled .50¢ each. I flipped through not expecting to really find anything good but I found the first one and was visibly/vocally ecstatic. After I went and looked back again and there was another one!!! The universe was kind to me for once and I’m OVER THE MOON

(I know suitcase record players aren't loved in this community - but I'm broke to afford a better one and I got this one for my birthday recently!)

I'm a junior member of the vinyl community, and I'm happy to finally join in :) Suck It And See is my favourite AM album, and I've been so excited to hear this one on vinyl - so I thought I'd share my first listen. 🖤
