Vinyl/CD purchases & collections

[White Riot]

I love YouTube for all the live versions of track’s & concerts, I won’t pay for the ad free version so it’s bl**dy annoying when someone sticks an add in the middle of a longer track Those people should be hunted down & beaten with a shitty stick.

Aye, it is annoying Cussie, the latest one is that bird Vanessa who keeps telling me "I know the name of your guardian angel , blah, blah".

I guess me finding out my guardian angel's name involves me sending Vanessa my bank account details

But yeah, there is so much great music I've reconnected with and so many new artists I've found on YouTube.

I like a good reaction video, not some idiot "listening to the first time" yeah right. But someone who knows what they're talking about and breaks down what you're listening to. The best of these is classical composer Doug Helvering

Today I learned the single "sonar ping" note at the start of Echoes is a Grand Piano through a Leslie speaker and it's a B

Excellent Evan.

I was trying to distinghuish your albums by the splne.

Blood On The Tracks is a masterpiece.

Indeed. My favorite Dylan album. Yeah I wanted to somehow share a photo where you could see them easier but a lot are so old they are hard to distinguish from the spine. Some classics in there, to be sure. A lot of the usual suspects- Zeppelin, Beatles, Allman Brothers, The Who, Santana, Rolling Stones, Pink Floyd, Bowie, Stevie Wonder, etc. And then a fair bit of Hip Hop- Tribe Called Quest, Kendrick Lamar, Childish Gambino, Mac Miller to name a few.

A lot of the older ones from my Dad aren't in the best of shape but have sentimental value/fun stories behind them. The copy of Grateful Dead- American Beauty was given to him by his older brother in 1970 when he returned from Vietnam.
Perhaps in the music thread we could post "What are you spinning today" sort of like the pint of the day one. Would be a fun way for people to reveal their collections!

Nothings perfect, Vinyl gets warped or scratched if not careful, Tapes break or unravel, CD's also scratch easily. downloads get lost, streaming is low quality

I’ve saved most of my CD’s as lossless WAV files and I download others in the same format if possible, (most artists nowadays have this option if you want it) and keep them on my PC and also my external SSD

A lot of cracking music in there Evan

Aye.................... and some shite too

[The Subhuman]

Always thought childish gambino sounded like a mafia child who's a bit slow

[Muppet the Cat]

How many people have still got any of these in their vinyl collection?

I must have got these when I was 8/9yrs old

[Muppet the Cat]

Some 70’s* classics, the majority of which are probably in many people’s collections

(* before Hector corrects me, I know Led Zeppelin II is actually 1969 )

My mum and dad had the 1973 album

Eye Level was the first single I asked my mum to buy for me

[Muppet the Cat]

The first recorded I ever bought (as I remember, from a shop in The Stonebow, York, which was opposite the Polar Ford garage)

[Muppet the Cat]

Maiden vinyl, not including 7” singles and CDs

Bet you got your money's worth out of them over the years

[Muppet the Cat]

Very rarely play 7” singles these days, as it’s too much faff to keep getting up to change. However, most kids in the 70’s must have started their record buying life’s with the ‘single’………in my case in the early 70’s by the likes of Slade, T.Rex,Sweet etc. However, I think my single buying zenith was probably 1978/79

I noticed one of those albums today.

[Muppet the Cat]

Madonna picture discs

[Muppet the Cat]

Then of course in the 80’s the 12” single was born

Yeah, The Daily Doug is brilliant Faaip, from a musical composition perspective.

I also like the opera singer who does The Charismatic Voice, for her vocal analysis, which is really educative and she's fit of course.

[Muppet the Cat]

Most of the music I listen to these days is on Spotify, but these are some of the more recent vinyl albums I’ve bought

As Hector said though, not cheap these days…..just the three MONO albums were £100

I was given singles but never bought one .... I went straight to albums with birthday/summer job money from about 14..









We're my first 4... After that I remember forking out and sending off for the first four REO Speedwagon albums after a summer working for Air Hanson when I was 15... Still love REO 2 and it's masterwork Golden Country
