who has a vinyl collection. I have a niece who just got a turntable and has no used record shops so I went to our local one, where I've never been. She specifically asked for 50's rock and motown, and Elvis which I did well with. But then I got sucked in to the endless stacks of my youth.
I walked out with a pristine copy of Pet Sounds which was probably one of the most expensive discs as well as Zeppelin 3 for my one son, also pricey.
I was in a rush or I would have spent much money and rebuilt my whole vinyl collection. I would even have bought Frampton comes Alive and Kiss double live.

Don't collect seriously, but have a lot. My best find has been "Starfleet" by Eddie Van Halen and Brian May.

I still have all of my original vinyl collection.....probably 300 or so albums....I need to get a turntable....I love vinyl. There was something so satisfying about opening up a new album....liner notes, bonus things on the album sleeve.....I miss vinyl....

I miss the album art. Great album art has been lost with the advent of smaller formats.

Plus, you know, cleaning your weed.

Did anyone see Peter of the Colbert Report last night

Ive got quite a few Vinyls myself that I have collected-- Not my parents Elvis, beatles, and Simon and Garfunkle collection either.


Some of the gems are Zeps 1-4
Dylans Nashville Skyline
one that I will NEVER part with EDDIE AND THE CRUSIERS soundtrack
Pink Floyd The Wall


and a bunch other that I do not remember now without digging through my garage.

Had this LP, thought it was Ok but was expecting more.

I've still got a turntable but the only LP's I have that survived water in my basement were, "You Had To Be There" and "Floridays".

think I'll just keep quiet on this one....

There's a very nice used record store close to where I work. I've bought several of Jimmy Buffett's, Beach Boys, and John Prine vinyls from there.
(I didn't have to buy any of the Beatles vinyls because I got them all when they originally came out).
I just bought a dupicalte copy of "Changes In Latitudes" a couple days ago in mint condition for $5.00 to send to somebody.

IF you're looking for a nice turntable/radio/C.D. combo for a great price, check out this web site:

WOW.....hadn't thought about that one for a long time....I have it, too....
what happened to John Cafferty?????

Oh my God, Eddie and the Cruisers. I have the movie on DVD and just watched it. What good cheese with a jersey theme. I"ve been to Tony Mart's two times at the end of its life. I have one of those turntable/cd/fm combos. I want to upgrad to something with a bit better sound or put some external speakers on it.
I haven't played my beach boys disc yet. I haven't played an album in alot of decades and I'm afraid i'll scratch it.
When I was sending my neice her stack of discs I picked up and threw in Madonna - Like a Virgin. Sis was a huge madonna fan in the 80's so just to bust her stones.
