What's new

12” vinyl - share your new buys, old classics etc

This weekends record fair haul.

New (apart from the Japanese pressings).

Really getting into Japanese pressings. The ones I have heard I really like. But some of them cost 5 times the price of a UK pressing!

Think the Van Halen japanese pressings sound better than the original US copies I have and the 180g remastered stuff.....

Went to a record fair this morning.....
Came back £1 worse off and with a leaflet.

Round by me I would say we have 4 record fairs a month - all the same people and the same stock.....
 
Son brought some of my records back, good timing as just brought in a Rega Planar 3 deck that has been sitting in the garage for 22 years that was given to me in the 90’s.
New belt fitted, waiting on a new stylus and a phono preamp. Get some crackle going☺️
Need to get some classic albums because most of my stuff is 12” singles from the 80’s, see what it sounds like first.

Bought myself some of these to store my vinyl. Pretty pleased with them.

I have 3 of the double ones and a single one - all almost full. So based on this (and an earlier comment about updating collections on Discogs) im slowly cataloguing them all on discogs. Im at £4800 so far and I have 2 of those double storage deelys yet to do !

Half way through a day at the races and I love this album so much. Music really is the best thing!!! Haha
 
Just seen this on Fesshole - guy's a genius

In a few years, when the kids leave home, the wife & I are planning to downsize to a smaller house. She's told me I'll need to significantly reduce my vinyl collection - so I've started buying up cheap records I don't want so I can "sacrifice" them when the time comes.

Good idea mate. 👍🏻👍🏻
 
I've got a few in the attic somewhere I think.
Sure I've got Major Tom (Coming Home) by Peter Shilling.
Please tell me its rare so I can but a Fathom Revisited.
If you ever watch Dauchshund 83 on Ch4 they used it for the opening credits.
