True story. That's where my parents got the few vinyls I own.

Actually, not too long ago, my mom went around to garage sales on a Friday, and at one of the estate sales she went to, she saw this HUGE collection of older vinyls in mint condition. I think because of that, though, the prices were higher, and my mom didn't get any because of it.

Estate sales rock. It can be a little creepy walking through the houses, but they still rock.

I love looking at people's vinyl record collection. It combines three things I love: music, artwork, and collecting. The size of the artwork on vinyl records is just great, and it's something that is definitely missing during the digital download area. I'm weird because I even love the smell of old vinyl. I really enjoy going to genuine record stores and thumbing through their racks. I also have a lot of autographed vinyl which, in my opinion, looks amazing hanging on a wall.

Acquiesce · 15-04-2011, 05:15 PM

I have :
Bring The Light - Beady Eye
The Roller - Beady Eye
+ 'Millionaire' on it's way
24 Carat Gold - Deep Purple
Time Flies vinyl box set - Oasis

that's it , not much

But I don't have a record player yet , so I'll wait untill I find one...

The problem is that I may not buy one , from my parents ...

They think it's useless , my dad always tells me how happy he was when cd's were comming up ..
So he didn't have to buy vinyl , and now , I want to buy "old stuff"

So I'm looking for one second hand ...
and still looking , for the last 5 months

Acquiesce · 15-04-2011, 05:23 PM

I've been looking for 'Definitely Maybe' of Oasis for almost a year now ...
Still didn't find it

It hung in a record store once , but I didn't carry enough money ...
And then it was gone , still didn't found it back !

blue_girl · 15-04-2011, 05:56 PM

Noémie i have that record and (Whats the Story) Morning Glory?

Edit: now im confuse, dunno if i have Definetely Maybe or Be Here Now

It is possible to order vinyl off the internet...

bjaiken · 16-04-2011, 04:13 AM

Some vinyl becomes highly collectible once it stops being produced. I know Pearl Jam and Dave Matthews Band vinyl are very expensive.

blue_girl · 16-04-2011, 10:21 PM

So today was Record Store Day, i only could visit one store in Lisbon,only bought Forth by The Verve ..i wish i could bring some more records..but the ones i want were still expensive

Acquiesce after i checked all my Lp´s i realise that i dont have Definetely Maybe nor (Whats the Story) Morning Glory

I have The Masterplan and Be Here Now

baaah, I'm not sure about that , I did it with Beady Eye ,
'cause there wasn't really another option
But Definitely Maybe , someone must have it right ?
That's the reason I want that one , it's "old" I want to search for it
and find it , not just get the 'newest' one , and do no afford at all...
That's the cool thing about vinyl

I wish no-one made things pre-ordering-able

That's the awesome thing about new cd's , waiting in line at the shop ,
to get your cd , and just read the booklet ,and then come home and finnally
listen to it !

While now , the chance the album is leaked is soooo big , there's not that much suprise anymore ...
You can preorder and stuff , you don't even have to go to a shop to buy any cd...
You don't even get cd-cases with those download things ...

argh , if I only was born earlier

The Escapist · 16-04-2011, 10:41 PM

There are listings on Ebay for Definitely Maybe but its very very expensive. The cheapest is $60 + $15 shipping but the dearer ones are up to $200.

MrMagpie · 18-04-2011, 03:45 PM

Unfortunately didn't make it out for record store day. Hoping to get into the stores this week to see if any of the exclusives are left over.

Tnspieler1012 · 18-04-2011, 09:19 PM

went with a friend to the only record store in town for record store day, but it was so crap. No beatles, no radiohead, no u2, no floyd. Just a shitload of johnny cash and ancient bad classic rock albums. Best thing we could find was Billy Joel, Joy Division and a This Will Destroy You album.

Keddie · 19-04-2011, 05:30 AM

My limited collection:

Is This It-The Strokes
Under Cover of Darkness-The Strokes
VLVODAAHF-Coldplay
Minor Love-Adam Green
Siberian Breaks-MGMT
Congratulations (single)-MGMT
Phrazes For The Young-Julian Casablancas
