Vinyl collectors
« on: November 22, 2010, 05:53:46 pm »
Anyone collect old vinyl albums?  I was at an antique store and they had these old awesome records (Led Zeppelin I and II, Hendrix, Grateful Dead and other really good stuff)  Who collects these?

David...I don't collect Vinyl....but I still have nearly 300 albums from when I was young...and I still have my turntable...and I bought a program so I can listen to them on my computer....they still make albums for the hardcore vinyl junkies...

But I know I wouldnt be able to remember what I was doing whi
le.listening to them.

I'm going back to get some.  I didnt have any $$$$ on me and my friend cleaned them out, but there is still some really good stuff. I even thought about putting it on the trading section since I don't have a turntable

 I'm like ElD, I've got them from back in the mid 60's. Some are still in the jacket, never opened.  I heard the other day they are going back to vinyl because the sound quality is better than CD's.

I started buying a few albums to decorate my work shop with.  I have them hanging up on the wall behind my workbench.  I tried to pick some out with good artwork/pictures on the front cover.  I picked them up for $1 - $2 each.  Here is what I have so far.

Bob Seger
Ted Nugent
George Thorogood
Bob Marley

I would love to add some more.
I started out with nothin' and I still got most of it left

I might have to find a turntable and have to give them a spin for old times sake.
I agree that it did sound better on vinyl.Just have'nt thought about it for a long time.

Anybody got any Black Oak Arkansas ?  Right now you can buy a turntable (At costco) that will record the album onto cd.  '  Frank      ( P. S.  could'nt get rid of my Don Williams and The Kendal's)

I've got a couple of old Black Oak Arkansas records somewhere. Saw them live once, very unique band to say the least.
