The price of vinyl satisfaction?

[Daverz]

I don't see any reason to go down this route unless you already have a lot of records (in good condition) to play.  To build a record collection at this late date?  I don't see the point.

Why hey would it be different compared to starting a cd collect.

 

A ever diminishing supply of interesting and affordable LPs in good condition.

 

If you are starting your collecting life today, there are 30 years of music available on CD that will never be available on LP.

I mostly buy new music most older music holds no interest to me. In my collection there are maybe 20 to 40 LP's I bought second hand. The last LP's I bought:

 

Roger Waters - Is This The Life We Really Want?

Guns N' Roses - Appetite For Destruction

Sleep - The Sciences

 

Yes, I did think of adding that if your musical interests are satisfied, and you don't mind the prices for many new LPs, then it might work for you.  I think there was even one guy here who had only 180 gram LPs in his collection!
