Gotta bring this back:

There is a record store right around the corner from my house that I have always been afraid to go into because it is just the second floor of someone's house and looks real shady. I finally went there today and my God, I can't believe I waited this long. All classics, and all cheap:

The Yes Album - Yes
Thick as a Brick - Jethro Tull
Zoso - Led Zeppelin
Song for America - Kansas
Best of the Doobies - The Doobie Brothers
Heaven Tonight - Cheap Trick
They Only Come Out at Night - The Edgar Winter Group

With the exception of the Zeppelin one, which was $4, they were all .99 Such a steal, and I avoided the insane shipping costs that comes from buying vinyl online. I will definitely be going back, so happy.

Just got a preamp for my newish record player, so I'm back into it now.

That is a crazy collection Horraholics_Anonymous, so many of gems.

Thanks man! I love my vinyl

I recently got a new record player with an amazing sounding needle. Superior quality I tell you!

Just picked up Pelican - Australasia, a couple weeks ago. It's the sexiest thing I've ever seen.

I inherited my dad's vinyl collection years ago when I was a kid, but since I've made a decent little collection for myself. And hey, I have A Clockwork Orange too!

Might as well list my own, not all that many.

Genghis Tron - Board Up The Houses: The Remixes [Vol. 1 & 2] waiting on the rest
ISIS - Panopticon
Pelican - Australasia [Limited Edition Re-Release]
Pelican/These Arms Are Snakes - Split EP
Smashing Pumpkins - Siamese Dream
Opeth - My Arms, Your Hearse
Korn - Self Titled
AC/DC - For Those About To Rock
Stephen Brodsky - Expose Your Overdubs waiting for this by mail

and there might be one or two more. i'm not at home so I might be forgetting a couple. and I'm not listing all the stuff from my dad, I'd be here all day. All the essentials. Sabbath, Zeppelin, Queen, Pink Floyd, etc.

I tried that once and it was mind numbing, SO much crap to sort through.

I seem to have found the vinyl thread. the goodwill/salvation army by my house has 90% christmas music vinyls. the other 10% are christian albums. not my thing. I was in cali this past 3 months and I found a shop in fountain valley that is as good as it gets short of going overseas or ordering from overseas. the place is called dr. freeclouds should anyone be in the neighborhood.

Fellow collector here. I have been collecting for about my whole life. I have like 200-250 or so. I am really only looking for 80's Hair metal/thrash now. I have about all I want for 70's classic rock and "Southern Rock". My thing now is going and getting albums signed by the artist if I can. I have a very good friend who has been collecting for probably 25-30 years or so and we go to flea markets and garage sales just about every weekend because I always seem to only spend like $4 or $5 bucks on records anyways so it's a cheap past time for me. I am also in the process of transfering them to audio files to use on my Ipod.

I don't know if you are still looking for record players or not, but I have picked up all of mine on garage sales or estate sales for pennies. I have even seen players not even get sold because the auctioneer couldn't even get a $1 out of it. So just keep your eyes open and I am sure you can get one cheap and they are easy to get repaired and get parts for.So you can keep them running for a long time or just pick up them when ever you come across one that works good and cheap so you can have spares for when the current one you are using stops working.

I collect them. I have about 200 and I love listening to them. I have everything from Led Zep 4 to Metallica's Ride The Lightening.
