Having a bit of an LP clear out, I do this ever so often. (sorry buyer already sorted).

 

That's the problem with LP's, there are countless great singles but not many truly great albums.

 

So I have to lower my standards are lower when buying LP's or I'd rarely ever buy one. I'm a collector but not interested in owning anything that I don't really like or wouldn't play over and over.

 

So from now on, I'm not buying an LP because the art is cool, or based on one track I might have heard.  It's off to youtube to listen ...listen a lot...before I part with my dosh.

 

It's not quality over quantity, its quality and quantity I strive for.:)

Got With The Beatles (Beatles) for £4 and Double Fantasy (Lennon) for £2 from eBay. Bloke just round the corner was selling so I collected... Both are in great condition, no jumps and play fine. With The Beatles has a bit of a battered sleeve but it is the second pressing so it's really old. 

 

Can't complain for £6.

Good that! .... Definitely Maybe - very good! Always seems fairly expensive whenever I've seen it to buy. Think I'll buy Hatful of Hollow soon though.

Don't think they did much shopping around, I expect they were all HMV lol

 

Did you have to buy speakers or was yours loud enough?

I haven't got speakers yet - I don't play it that loudly - but I'' probably get speakers eventually.

 

@purpleronnie is probably your best man to ask for all vinyl info!

Do you mean you have built in speakers?  If so the new models are usually pretty awful.  I have an old hacker gondolier which has in built speakers but the sound is very good and incredibly loud if you need it.

 

Get some separate speakers, even a couple of wharfedale speakers 9.1 can be picked up for cheap and are great.  I used to hook up my hifi are turntable to them.

 

Nice start to your collection there.

Got High Violet by the National which is supoiiiiib and Jamie xx's In Colour boxset which is lovely. Don't wanna touch either of them though, they're beautiful.

Is that the purple (or violet I suppose) coloured record or the black one for the national? I have the coloured version and the sound quality is awful. Great album though.

Yeah mate it's the violet vinyl one though it plays fine for me - haven't noticed anything poor. Such a great record regardless, England is going with me to the grave. Such a fantastic band.

I stopped buying records to save for the European tour. So being able to resume is one of the very few positives of us getting knocked out! 

 

*Logs in to Discogs*

 

I see prices have inflated quite substantially in the past 12 months... Great. I forgot how expensive this game was.

Just got 'The Warriors' soundtrack lp

I found the orignal a couple of years back. Record was perfect but cover had a library sticker stuck to the front. The waxworks reissue is a very good also.
