Just got yet another one. Electric Ladyland by The Jimi Hendrix Experience. 2010 reissue. 180g vinyl. Double album.

 

Here's what it looks like: http://www.discogs.com/viewimages?release=2174598

 

Front and back of the cover are fine, except one of the corners is just a bit banged up. Gatefold has a small tear where the spine is located. The clear plastic inner sleeves are fine, as well as both of the records (and as all of the records I've received up to this point, it sound great).

 

It also comes with a big 8-page booklet. It's got some cool photos and liner notes (which I have yet to read). No issues with the condition of it.

I love them! For all the same reasons Viscra Maelstrom mentioned in the post on Page 1. One thing in addition to that I will mention: the task of listening to music on vinyl is more intimate. You're actually holding a large disc in your hands and placing it on a turntable; etc. making you cherish your possession. Compare that with just clicking "play" on Youtube, Bandcamp, etc. not very exciting, is it?

 

Why are you reading this? Go expand your vinyl collection! And if you're a musician, consider creating vinyl copies of your work for our listening benefit.

How awesome are "After The Flood" and "New Grass"? Seriously.

[Winger7632 124]

I've always wanted to see what mixing with vinyl would be like, i just know the scratch would sound orgasmic. 

[Away 2,077]

Got one more now. In Rainbows by Radiohead. Here's what it looks like: http://www.discogs.com/viewimages?release=1187003

 

The cover is fine except a corner has some slight wear. Unfortunately, three sides of the inner sleeve have a tear each. No problems whatsoever with the record itself though. Plays fine. Sounds great.

 

Sorry if I'm annoying anyone with these constant updates. This hobby is just so much fun.

Personally I don't have a vinyl record player and no records either. But I've seen that they have become popular. I think it's pretty awesome since it is bringing back a classic technology. I would consider getting one but mostly because it would give this classic feeling to the house.

I got some new ones today

 

Earth Wind & Fire (don’t remember the album name), second copy old one had a wrecked cover. Has the song 'Fantasy' on which is one of there best

 

 

 

Bart Simpson- Do the Bartman 12” single

I used to collect vinyl. But they had the tendency of taking over my room and it got frustrating. Plus I'd wind up getting a lot that were unplayable.

 

Vinyl records are cool, but I don't like having that many things. MP3 is more than adequate for me. Besides, vinyl records don't even compare to hearing an artist live in person.

[Gay Bird 421]

I'm a huge fan of music from the vinyl Era, but honestly, records suck. The quality degrades every time you play it, they're really big, they break and scratch really easy, etc. Sure there's nostalgia, and you can have that, but today, I'd have a cd any day.

[Away 2,077]

Got one more. Bleach by Nirvana. XD

 

Cover is fine. Inner sleeve has a tear on one side. Actual record is in absolutely fine condition and it sounds great.

I got two more like a week ago. Both are considered indie classics: In The Aeroplane Over The Sea by Neutral Milk Hotel and Funeral by Arcade Fire. 180g reissues. Free mp3 download codes.

I think they're lovely, but it seems to be really hard to find record players

It's sort of a bummer, because I'd love to have one ^^'

[Envy 6,169]

My dad has a record player, and my parents combined have plenty of records from the 60s/70s. I've only ever really listened to a The Beatles record on it, though, and didn't really think much of it. It's just scratchy, and annoying to use. I'll take my digitally remastered recordings any day.

[Khaoios 1,970]

My father still has a old record player, as well as vinyl records from the 70's through the late 80's,

[bailey2 114]

I love vinyl records, I have been collecting for about 5 years now and have been to all the top events in my country.

 

I mostly collect 60's records and have all of the original studio albums from bands like The Beatles, The Kinks, The Rolling Stones, The Jimi Hendrix Experience.

 

I also collect rare records which have cost me a few thousand throughout the years, These include bands like Blossom Toes, Skip Bifferty, Velvet Opera just to name a few.

 

Here's some pictures of my prized 1st pressing Skip Bifferty record and the 1st solid blue triangle pressing of Dark Side of The Moon.

Not me, Too ill and I missed it, Did you get anything?

 

I went to the record store today and got the first Magna Carta album

I wish. Even if I did have money to spend, there are no record stores around me. :c

[Dattebayo 2,850]

I prefer a music format that isn't overpriced and obsolete...but I'm weird like that.

There's a few record stores here, At one point in time I was making money working at various record events around the county, Which led to me being offered jobs at some of the stores but I can't drive so I missed out on a dream, Working in a record store. Dx

[Justin_Case001 4,896]

I am deeply offended by the very existence of vinyl records.

 

Kidding.  I have no opinion.

Damn :/ Well, at least you have record stores near you in the first place. I got most of my records (and CDs) online.

Are you in England? I've got extra copies of records I don't mind sharing, Including an original Axis: Bold as love and various Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd LPs.

I'm in Miami XD I got Axis already but those LZ and PF LPs sound nice.

 

I'd share too, but I don't have any spares

I wish I owned one of them vinyl players. I saw Illmatic XX in Vinyl form at FYE, but I just got the CD version. Still a great album regardless.
