Vinyl lovers?

[Toronto]

well I am just woundering if anyone on the forum is Vinyl-Head?
I have 2,000+ (prob. close to 4,000+ but I haven't cleaned it up in a long time)

I know all the good vinyl stores in toronto and montreal, aswell as some in new york.

so just post if you like the best sounding music medium on the planet :D

I love the sound of vinyl :D My dad used to be a square dance caller (i never got into it, thought it was for a bunch of stuffy adults and nerds) and he used vinyl for his dances so i kind of grew up with the sound.

He has about 25-30 old vinyls and i'm hoping i get them at some point :D

[antonioledesma]

at last somebody that doesn't do the DJ thingy, admits likes vinyls. Even more with young guys.

not a vinyl head because my dad always had the things that I liked. hhmm, let me remember, 5 years ago he cleaned up and counted them. He had 500, but he could have more if 20 years ago the store where he was, didn't came down because of a fire

[Toronto]

well i owe like 250 LP's to my parents, I should really go down to my warehouse and take some pic's I really do have 1,000's (alot of doubles of some records, either frist or 2nd pressing, I try only to get 1st pressing simply because they are worth more :D)

[ZfrkS62]

dude if you have any that you might be willing to part with, let me know :D

[antonioledesma]

I try only to get 1st pressing simply because they are worth more :D)

you are not a serious collector... you are a speculator. :P That's what I told many friends whom just bought comics books to resell them after a while

but I must say that I also tried to bought the first printing of any comic, so I'm also guilty :mrgreen:

[Toronto]

well call me what you will, speculator. Feel that 1st pressing are like time machines. just listening to them make you feel like a kid in 1971 or something :D

I have never sold a record once in my 7 or so years of 'diggin' :D

[antonioledesma]

speculator speculator!! :mrgreen: I'm gonna sell you some records from the 70's, special edition for mexico :mrgreen:
it's good to read that you don't sell your records. But for now we're waiting some photos of your collection.

btw... which are your most valuable (sentimental, monetary, etc) records? Some special editions? gifts? a record you found in a garage sale?

[Toronto]

well I only keep about 200 or so records in my home, let me go take some pics :D

[antonioledesma]
