I don't have an extensive vinyl collection anymore, but I do have a few from the past that have survived all the moves parties and borrowing friends.


Here's a true classic, original release, to get things started. It is in excellent condition (the vinyl) the cover is pretty good with some scratches from stacking/rubbing, and the liner is excellent.

Released January 12, 1969 (11 days prior to my 9th birthday)

Led Zeppelin

edit: subTitle spelling :confused:

I don't have any pics, but my family has a storage unit with around 5,000 LPs in it.

I don't have any pics, but my parents have a few vinyls. Despite cassette tapes being the big thing when I was young, my Dad had me listen to this record which caused me to like The Rolling Stones quite a bit.

Great album.

I've got the original Rocky and Star Wars: A New Hope sound tracks on vinyl. Bought them both at Good Will for $1.

My collection is pretty small, about maybe 80 of them, mostly hard rock. I also have a little collection of about 20 picture discs, most of them are framed and hanging around the mancave.

No pics, but I used to dabble as a House DJ, so I have a bunch of house records. Maybe 100 to 150.

I have around 50 or so albums, alot of 80's and 90's stuff with some newer ones thrown in. Pink Floyd, Guns N Roses Appetite For Destruction (unedited cover, still has the sticker inside), lots of others all in great condition. Also have some classical (1812, Grieg, etc).
It's pretty easy to amass a huge collection quickly, people have offered to give me whole collections of hundreds upon hundreds of LPs, but I pick through them and donate the ones I don't want to the local Salvation Army. I'd probably have a million of them by now if I kept them all!
What do you guys play them on?
I use a Revolver (import) turntable with a US voltage mod with a Linn-Basik tonearm.

I haven't played mine in a few years since my Pioneer turntable hit the fritz (Cartridge) I'm wanting to tranfer them to digital, so I'm thinking about picking up a USB turntable to do it (if any of them are worth it) I don't have copies of alot of the songs, so I'm wanting to get going on it soon.

I digitized a few albums using my Kenwood KD-550 turntable patched into my computer using an old Sony D5 cassette deck as a preamp. I had a much slower computer then and it proved to be a very time consuming process when you used software to remove cracks, pops, and hissing. With a machine using current processing ability it would probably be much faster. I have seen a USB turntable advertised for ~$90, but I'm pretty sure it's belt driven, so you're not going to get audiophile quality. If you can come up with a direct drive turntable a preamp can be had relatively cheap even from Radio Shack.

That's about half of it :p

(And we're currently reorganizing that room and the vinyls hence the crap all over the place)

I've already got excellent audio software and plenty fast PC, so just getting in to the PC at the highest quality is all that is holding me back. I could get a new cartridge for my old pioneer turntable and a preamp if its worth the hassle over a simple USB turntable.

You name it, we probably have it.

Hell, I even found "Cheech and Chongs Wedding Album" the other day while I was digging through stuff.

LOL, I started to listen to "Big Bamboo" the other day, and had to put it away before it killed my memories of the hilarity of my youth that was Cheech and Chong...kinda like watching "Blazing Saddles" again after all these years...
