Last vinyl you bought and when

should be different from the CD thread. As said I got the Transistor Transistor/Mannequin split 7" at the Mannequin/Circle Takes the Square show on Wednesday. I bet that's a lot earlier than the majority of people here :)

We had the BEST used record stores in Cleveland Heights. I bought all kinds of used vinyl in a few weeks time. It was a shame that we lost that continuity of treasured vinyl in the stores when they had to get rid of that stock.

Last one? Probably one of Madness' albums. The one with "Night Boat to Cairo".

If you have a bunch of stuff that doesn't really interest you. My brother-in-law owned a record store, and eventually just dumped A LOT of vinyl into Lake Michigan. He's really kicking himself now for that move.

A cultural treasure. Thanks for the tip.

White Stripes - Hello Operator/Jolene 7"

International Noise Conspiracy - Capitalism Stole My Virginity 7"

Both @ Waterloo Recs. on Saturday.

Also, last week I bought a copy of the Smiths "The Queen is Dead" via ebay.

Didja come for the rally?

If so, why didn't you say hi? :P We had a little group of DUers there.

My cousin's wife's birthday, to be precise. I got there too late to go to the rally. My brother, however, did go. He also gave me a pic he cut out from the Chronicle of a guy in a cowboy hat in front of the Guv'ner's mansion holding a sign that read "Tom Delay's Bitch!"

Crap. I should have left on Friday night. Anyway, sorry I missed you guys.

:-)

yay.

I have more than my parents :)

7" from 1992 featuring Mark Eitzel of American Music Club, Guided By Voices' "Cheyenne" 7", David Ossman (of the Firesign Theatre)'s "How Time Flies", Split Enz's "Frenzy," a National Health album from 1977, and Steeleye Span's "The Steeleye Span Story", a greatest hits-type album. All bought a couple weeks ago. I try to avoid CD's if I can find good stuff on vinyl.

Oh, yes almost forgot the Wingtip Sloat LP I bought in the same haul. Can't wait to make it out to Frisco and visit Aemoeba rec's again!

Donde esta el quarto de bano? Tengo mucho agua!

Thanks!

When I was somewhere around 8 to 11 years old.

The album was "Pac-Man Fever" by Buckner and Garcia.

I've got Pac-Man Fever, Pac-Man Fever, Pac-Man Fever
And it's driving me crazy, driving me crazy!

It was truly an anthem for a generation.

Vinyl reissue, a month ago.

Along with Martha and the Muffins, Nina Hagen, and some others. I have a large vinyl collection(aprox 2000) and am in the process of burning it all onto CD. I've always collected music, and there are some things you just can't get on CD, like A Childs' Garden of Grass, or various foreign pieces. Luckily we have a good vinyl shop here in town(Whiz Records, if you're ever in Columbia Mo) and down the road in St. Louis there is Vintage Vinyl, though the last couple of times I've visited there they've cut their vinyl way back.

Two lane hyway for my brother who refuses to go to cd, I bought it off ebay and it was busted when it got to his house.

By Richard Strauss. Sung by Dame Kiri Te Kanawa. Probably aboutr 15 years ago.

I had a very, very good system and it was scratchy by the second time I played it and I vowed to never buy vinyl again and I didn'

I was at a Goodwill store and found a pile of old soul music 45s that the local AM radio station had gotten rid of. Some of those records were quite obscure, too!

since that's when I started buying CDs instead. I finally sold all my hundreds of LPs; I was tired of hauling them from house to house when I moved, worrying about warping and scratching and all that.

Some of the LPs did sound better than the CDs, though - some CDs have been very poorly mastered.

1988. A few weeks before I bought my CD player. I'm not even sure that my turntable still works - or even where it is. I think it is in the spare bedroom closet...

The Kinks: Part 1 Lola versus Powerman and the Moneyground

Made in Spain - 1980

I picked this up at FBC (flat, Black and Circular) in East Lansing last week.

was the last time at a store.
Do garage sale purchases count?

If I could find it. All I have is a crappy tape. Need 2 x 4, too. That one got me through the Army.

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

"Flaunt It" back in 1986.

:toast:

the one where the cover looks like engraving. Pristine condition. I'm gonna frame it. :)

Mozart Symphonies Nr. 39, 40, 41.

All Deutches Gramaphone, all excelent condition, possible never-played.

Bought 12 Shellac 78's, too, mostly Red Seals, Stokowski and the NBC Orchestra...

On the release date, whenever that was. All these years later, I still prefer Talk Talk Talk.

Lately I'm wondering when I will buy my last CD. But the MP3 is still a pretty crappy technology.

and I can't remember what it was. I got a CD player the next year.

A couple of the Suiters were playing a gig down in Berkeley and needed beer money, so they discounted this record so much that I had to buy it. They neglected to tell me it was a 78 rpm and since my vinyl playing machine postdates the 78 rpm era, I was never able to play it. It might become a collector's item because it has Jane Dornacker on it and it may be one of the last 78's ever pressed in the world.

Greatest Hits of the Banjo, The Elvis Costello album where he's wearing a crown on the cover, and a couple of others, last week.

... a load of "classic rock" LPs (about 200 or so) just last weekend, for cheap. Lots of duplicates of what I already have in my collection but almost all in good shape; lots of Doors, Led Zeppelin, etc. I :loveya: love :loveya: vinyl!!

Not sure why as (a) I really love the movie and (b) I don't own a record player and had already spent $150 on the (then) original to find CD... Of course, they re-released the CD 7 years later... :eyes:

A :toast: for your first milestone!! :-)

Doors
Beatles
Stones
Johnny Cash
Van Halen

Mel Torme
Dion
Brubeck
Chubby Checker
Judas Priest

No really, Judas Priest. Sad Wings of Destiny, ~1975. God, I've loved that album since I was in High School. In the 70's...

on which they covered Sixteen Tons. Spectacular noise from my childhood. He did a stint in CCR, presumably after John fired Tom. Got it in Toronto, probably 10 years back.

and bought lots of vinyl since then again. Never ever digitized one of my CD's ever. Don't discuss sound etc. ppp. Simply love it. Last Record I've bought: Black Uhuru, Black Sounds of Freedom.
CD's are crap. O.K. they aren't crap. They sound incredible good. But they deserve nothing less then being Kazaaed or whatever. Just look back at the days, when capitalism was producing still old products. Now they've digged their own grave. Digged their own graves? O.K. I support it, I buy CD's again, if only these vinyls wouldn't be so damned cool. And - at least the people who publish vinyl these days - they stay away from this stupid "historization" (is there an english word like this?) of music by all means.
