TheSnowStorm Posted September 4, 2008 Posted September 4, 2008 IIT we talk about vinyl records and our love for them. Are you a fan of vinyl records? Do you collect them? Do you even have a damn ideal what's a vinyl? Well, I do have a couple of usable vinyl records in my house ranging from many Motown artists such as Smokey Robinson, Marvin Gaye, The Temptations, etc. I myself enjoy the classic sounds of a vinyl and it amaze me how they could fit music on a plastic large disc such as a vinyl.

OverCoat Posted September 4, 2008 Posted September 4, 2008 I found the Never Gonna Give You Up single at Goodwill for a dollar /thread Quote
TheSnowStorm Posted September 4, 2008 Author Posted September 4, 2008 I found the Never Gonna Give You Up single at Goodwill for a dollar/thread Seriously? The local place where my father get his vinyls sell cheap as well. Anywhere from $1.00-$5.00. I'm thinking of buying "Thriller" by Micheal Jackson. Quote
Majin GeoDooD Posted September 4, 2008 Posted September 4, 2008 I'm pretty sure my dad has an unopened vinyl of Thriller somewhere.. I have a decent little collection of vinyls, some Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Slayer, AC/DC, Van Halen, etc. I take one out every so often.. there's just something about listening to Dark Side of the Moon on vinyl..

Corran Posted September 4, 2008 Posted September 4, 2008 I have been collecting vinyl for a couple years now. I have about 3-4 dozen classical records from various composers/orchestras. The pride of my collection is these Time Warner "Great Composers" series that have 4 records of that composers greatest works. I've got Stravinsky, Debussy, Prokofiev, and several others. I also have many classic rock albums, including Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, etc. I find it really hard to find good quality classical music on vinyl (since no one buys it). A couple months ago I found a really cool record shop but the guy had just GIVEN AWAY 90% of his classical stuff because it was taking up too much room (hundreds, 1000s of records). I was pissed.

I never imagine classical music on vinyl! I would be mad as well, you could had gotten something that nobody uses often. Quote
Mustin Posted September 4, 2008 Posted September 4, 2008 Vinyl is the way to go, yo. So good. Just the other nite had a vinyl party with a friend. She busted out The Temptations, Crosby Stills Nash & Young, and Janice Joplin while I put in Steely Dan, Stevie Wonder and Zepplin. Vinyl just sounds better to me. It's awesome. Quote
Corran Posted September 4, 2008 Posted September 4, 2008 Another thing I like about vinyl is the lack of tracks. You put it on and let it go...no skipping tracks or anything. It's great how bands made each side of the record an experience in and of itself, unlike a lot of CDs these days. Pink Floyd's "Animals" comes to mind especially. Quote
The Pezman Posted September 4, 2008 Posted September 4, 2008 I have some vinyl I could sell. Really don't want it anymore. Quote
Fishy Posted September 4, 2008 Posted September 4, 2008 Joe Satriani - Surfing With the Alien Steve Vai - Passion and Warfare Steve Vai - Flexable Not a giant collection, but certainly a quality one. I'd love a Dark Side of the Moon vinyl too. Quote
Global-Trance Posted September 4, 2008 Posted September 4, 2008 A full crate and a half of trance and progressive. Quote
Zombie Posted September 4, 2008 Posted September 4, 2008 Don't have any records at all. Hell, i don't even have a functioning cd player... Quote
Skrypnyk Posted September 4, 2008 Posted September 4, 2008 New Musik, Pink Floyd, KRAFTWERK, I saw Thriller... My dad really had an enormous collection of (poorly treated mind you) vinyl records, 90% my mom gave away to good will or some kind of yard sale thing. I remember HAVING the wall on vinyl, but I can't find it anymore >=( . Vinyl I've personally bought is Thomas Bangalter, DJ Flacon, and The Buffalo Bunch Quote
TheSnowStorm Posted September 4, 2008 Author Posted September 4, 2008 Steve Vai - Passion and Warfare Steve Vai - Flexable Not a giant collection, but certainly a quality one. I'd love a Dark Side of the Moon vinyl too. Steve Vai on Vinyl, huh? That got to be fuckin' epic, anything the man does is fuckin' epic. Quote
Lyrai Posted September 4, 2008 Posted September 4, 2008 The Star Wars Soundtrack (A new hope only) Sesame Street Fever Village People: Macho Man That's it. Quote
Fishy Posted September 4, 2008 Posted September 4, 2008 Steve Vai on Vinyl, huh? That got to be fuckin' epic, anything the man does is fuckin' epic. You haven't heard 'Call It Sleep' until you've heard it on vinyl; That is the most raw piece of guitar music ever. Quote
EdgeCrusher Posted September 4, 2008 Posted September 4, 2008 Im thinking about selling my original pressings of Metallica - Kill Em All and Ride the Lightening on Megaforce records, plus Master of Puppets And And Justice For All. I really need money bad, so go go gadget ebay. Quote

DusK Posted September 4, 2008 Posted September 4, 2008 Vinyl's too old for a youngin like me. All I have on vinyl is a single split by Haste The Day and From Autumn To Ashes. Quote
OverCoat Posted September 4, 2008 Posted September 4, 2008 I never imagine classical music on vinyl! I would be mad as well, you could had gotten something that nobody uses often. Working at a thrift store, lemme tell you - the dealers pick out all the good records, and all they leave are basically three things: Christian country/folk, Neil Diamond, and Classical music. There is an overabundance of classical music on vinyl and nobody buys it because nobody listens to classical music, and the dealers think most of them are worthless. Actually, the pricey records are the ones imported from Japan or elsewhere. I've seen them go for a lot on eBay. I did get some good stuff before the dealers got their hands on it: -Steely Dan - Aja -Rick Astley single -Romeo & Juliet [the one by Prokofiev] -Jean Michel Jarre - Equinoxe -Star Wars orchestral album (plus the theme from 2001) - this thing looks like quite a collector's item actually! -Yes - Close to the Edge -Rick Wakeman - Journey to the Center of the Earth all for a dollar each. That plus i got crates of stuff my parents owned. Quote
Corran Posted September 4, 2008 Posted September 4, 2008 Overcoat: Maybe you can hook me up? It seems NO one down here bothers to try to sell classical vinyl. The rare times I find it it's usually really expensive because the people think it's rare or something (??). I generally pay $2-$3 per record unless it's something I really want, what kind of prices does your place have? Quote
OverCoat Posted September 4, 2008 Posted September 4, 2008 Goodwill here charges $1 per record. Also, 10 cents for a cassette tape Quote
Corran Posted September 4, 2008 Posted September 4, 2008 Dang, and how much classical stuff do they have? My Goodwills never have classical stuff... I wish I could go through them, I'd probably buy a bunch. Quote
CC Ricers Posted September 5, 2008 Posted September 5, 2008 Crate and a half full of drum & bass and a bit of some other electronic styles. My collection isn't that big right now, but I did recently buy an HDTV for myself. My weirdest single/album has to be Tag Team and Addams Family - Whoomp! (the Addams Family remixes) Don't....buy it. It's terrible. Quote
