I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks that! I love the stories of previous owners of music, you're connected to them and they don't even know it. I found a copy of a Lionel Richie album, with lovenotes from a man to a woman, saying the words on the album was how he felt. It talked about how much he loved her and had this old clipping inside. I bought it at Value Village for a buck fifty. :s As for vinyl, I love it. I talk about this a lot on this forum, but I love it. My collection is all mine, unfortunately, my mum threw out player and records a few years back so I started from scratch. Since March I have gained an impressive collection It's so much cheaper! I bought the White Album on CD for around 30 bucks, got it on vinyl for 12. (Well, it's cheaper if you don't buy friggin first run owned by the queen, James Dean, fifteen popes, with spots of the blood of Jesus on it, I'm not a collector in the sense of looking for perfection in the record itself, but in the music. Hey, J Eastman, which artists are you looking for? It may help, I could dig something up for you across my travels if I see anything, I can check my "places" haha Experience Haze, sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but a lot of beatles records, 45s and 33 1/3s, aren't worth very much, you can buy a lot of em for under ten bucks. Unless it's first run, or something extraordinary like that. I say just keep it, wait til you get a player, and dig the music. Of course, you may want to find out the value before you dig it too much Lindi
about turntables, i just bought one from a garage sale. i know it works but i have no speakers for it. its an automatic kind from the 70's. i'm not too techno literate. so if any one knows what i should do to get it running? b/c its driving me nuts that i can't us it but i have many vinyl records.
i love my vinyl...wouldn't trade it for the world! someday, i'd like to have a small label that only releases vinyl and downloads.
I don't know how to check the belt but if you have a bad needle, you can get a new one @ your local music store. A good Shure is about $35
skele, do you have a stereo? Check for rca imputs. You should really go buy a new one. Most of these "dj" tables are shit for spinning wax, but work fine for just listening, you might want to consider buying one. idk about the belt, btw, I only buy direct drive.
aaah sure, I'm still listening to it and I've got also some Stones on vinyl.. that's rarity, for me..
I LOVE vinyl too. heaps of ppl today think, like the idiot above 'gimme crystal clear digital anyday or wahtever. the thing about vinyl is that, music is a physical thing. its a natural thing. you can feel music. digitising gives you it all clear yer, but for the music that we listne to on vinyl, clarity is not the msot important thing. vinyl gives music more tone, depth, and colour. I dont care that there are little specly sounds on the old records, or that it skips every now and then, the sound is jsut so much better. I only listen to the beatles and david bowie myself, simply caus thats all weve got, but i want to buy more stuff. Contrary to waht ppl have said in previous opostes, i cant find cheap records anywhere, theyre allllways more expensive than cd's. at least the good ones that is. im not a fan of small groups and underground music. so yeh i think i can sum it up like this: Vinyl = Music Digital = Sound waves
^^thats funny. Back in middle school all my friends would wanna play disc jockey on my dad's player, I'm glad that's over.
I have tons of Vinyl. I LOVE vinyl. All I have is stuff from the 60's and 70's man...It's all I ever listen to.
oh theyre the best, i brought in our stereo from the family room so i could listen to records in my room, i love the way they sound!
Vinyl is really great, it's such a better sound than some CD's today i've bought so much vinyl i've got all of Led Zeppelin's albums(because they're my Favourite band.) Pink Floyd, Yes, Camal, The Beatles, CSNY, The Moody Blues, Jimi Hendrix, Woodstock '69 Soundtrack, Savoy Brown, Ten Years After the list is virually endless. I even work in a record store that sells really good old vinyl its even got a groovy name, 'Second Sounds' how cool is that. "When the rich wage war, It's the poor who die." - Jean - Paul Sartre.
I go to thrift stores and pick up vinyl cheap. There's stuff on vinyl you can never find on CD. Also, I find that some albums sound better than the CD version. Some studios are just incompetent at remastering vinyl to CD.
Music on vinyl is still some of the best stuff ever produced. I have quite a collection of vinyl, and thank God that my turntable still spins them without difficulty. I constantly go back and listen to Humble Pie Rockin the Fillmore, or Deep Purple live in Japan, or Jimi's Band of Gypies, or something really special like the James Gang "Live at Carnegie Hall". ALI
Yep vinyl rocks big time I've about 7-800 mostly 60's-70's rock as well as a reasonable amount of blues, soul,jazz, funk an some classical and folk/trad and some world music oh and about 40 cd's
I listened to some vinyl last night for the first time in a long while. It was good. Hey, I have that! I really like The James Gang.
About 10 years ago, I lost over 1000 records in a fire. Needless to say, I was heart broken. I'm slowly puttting that collection back together. I'ts a lot of fun finding the stuff. The only bitch is, some of the records (Hendrix and Zappa for example) are way more expensive now. When I was a kid, I'd order imports out of magazines, for like $5-$10. Man, if you can find those pieces they are 10 times that. Anyway, in my mind, vinyl is the shit. I always loved rolling joints on the cover of the album I was listening to.
when/if i ever get signed and get to record my music, i definetly want to release my albums on to vinyls... CDs and tapes too, of course, to make them more excessible to people. but, still. i want to be able to have vinyl copies of my music. i love the way vinyl sounds! much warmer sounding than clean cut, professional CD sounds.
I have hundreds. But I tend to only go for the classic albums, however I have the entire catalogues of some of my favourite artists.
