Excellent! I love vinyl. It was all I bought in the early 80's. Then I got into tapes and lost a lot of my vinyl. Then I got into CD's and lost or sold all of my tapes. Now I have the internet and don't really care about CD's. But vinyl is so classic now that I am all for it. I only have about ten of them left from the old days, but I plan to start collecting again.

My dad has had hundreds of vinyl albums since the 70's. He recently started putting his favorite covers in frames and putting them on his walls.

If you ever happen to be in the Jackson, Mississippi area, I recommend going to a store in the suburb of Raymond. It is called The Little Big Store. It has been around for ages, and they sell vinyl LP's from a very large stockpile that has a revolving door on it. It's a jackpot for vinyl collectors.

Badass. I might be going down South(Ga. Fla.) this summer. I think a detour would be worth my time.

Post your collection man.


My mom apparently had a 200+ record collection(some dupes that were unopened and mint) but my dad made her throw them all away.
I would have loved to have grown up with something like that.

I think some of my others got mixed in with my dad's collection. I also had a ton of 45's, which were little vinyl records that had one song on each side. Those are probably in a pile of old junk at my parents' house.

That's a pretty cool group you got.

I really want Zeppelin's Physical Graffiti but I can't find it anywhere.

Find Prince with the Song 'When the Doves Cry' and play it backwards

That was a big thing when I was a kid. My dad had a huge record collection and I think I played all of them backwards (including Metallica, 'Hair of the Dog (?)' and endless metal... the ONLY one that actually said anything was Prince's. (It said something like 'Jesus is God, Jesus is Lord' followed by some really evil-sounding laughter.)

Funny, considering he's now one of Jehovah's Witnesses (last I heard) lol. That's a HUGE change!!!

I've got stacks and stacks of vinyl. My dad was a dj, when I was a lil' kid, and when he passed, we were left with all of his music. I've got everything from Parliament Funkadelic to Bootsy Collins; Prince; Maze; Michael Jackson; the Jackson 5; Lakeside...Shit. I don't even know. I couldn't even begin to name all of the groups we have on vinyl.

Only problem is: I spin breakbeats, but am too broke to by some tables, so I haven't even been able to experiment with some of the old school records we've got boxed away.
