Vinyl Records

[John]

I recently got into vinyl records. I bought a limited to 500 vinyl only release from one of my favorite artists recently and it got me into it. Ended up buying a decent entry level record player and some decent speakers. So far I have been having a blast going to various record stores and spending hours browsing through records. It is the happiest I've been in a while and I'm glad I got into this. So far these records are what I have:

 

8Ball & MJG - Get Low

Andrew Gold - Andrew Gold

Boldy James - Adu

Daft Punk - Random Access Memories

Humble Pie - Town and Country

Japanese Breakfast - Soft Sounds From Another Planet

I've been trying to tell myself to only buy my absolute favorite albums for now because I am already a couple hundred dollars deep in buying vinyls. My favorite listens so far are Random Access Memories by Daft Punk and Jimi Hendrix. I'm still waiting on the Japanese Breakfast and Ryo Fukui vinyls to come in. They're both some of my favorites of all time. I was getting ready to buy MBDTF the other night but I read some things about how all the pressings for them aren't that great and it sounds like shit. But I might buy it anyways. Also really want to buy Bloom by Beach House because it is my favorite album but I don't want to spend $90 on it. It periodically gets repressed so I will wait. I might buy Forth Wanderers by Forth Wanderers tonight because it is relatively well priced for a small indie band. They're local and have become one of my favorite bands recently. I'm pissed I missed out on the Blond represses from a couple weeks ago. I'll buy it when the time is right

 

Anyone else into vinyls? What do you guys recommend? I'm into blues, jazz, electronic music, and really anything I guess haha. I would love to buy some more electronic vinyls. Random Access Memories is mixed so amazingly.

Love this stuff

[touchy]

I was massively into vinyls just before the peak of covid. i looked into it heavily and was gonna spend a lot on a record player and records but the prices increased a lot which unfortunately stopped my plans. im planning on buying everything soon since it has been something i wanted to do for awhile.

Thriller by Michael Jackson is one I love listening to at friends places and would recommend if you like his music 

 

Mm.. Food by DOOM is one of my favorite looking cover arts and the vinyl records come in a different color if thats something you might care about. just a fun listen in general too

Two of my favorite albums of all time came in a week earlier than expected. Both sound great.

 

Japanese Breakfast - Soft Sounds From Another Planet

Ryo Fukui - Scenery

 

Also, the white vinyl is one I picked up from the dollar bin hip hop section. Had no idea what it was going to be but it turns out its a nice trance dance album. It's really fun to listen to and I've been listening to it while studying lol. It's Freeky Speed by Slab.

started collecting vinyls while in Europe over the summer. got 18 Months by Calvin Harris, yellow edition Enter The Wu-Tang (36 Chambers) and ye by Kanye. I know very little about this stuff but I want to expand the collection this year

Finally managed to get one after waiting for years

 

Best thing about it is that Frank Ocean robbed me instead of paying $300 to some random reseller. Woooo. Can't wait to listen to it.
