The kids of the fifties and sixties threw them around only leaving their records on the turntables. I have purchased 3 "collections" so far but only the last was a OO. These are from the first one I bought about 3 years ago. I don't know if I have the time/energy but perhaps they will find their way into the VCC this weekend.

oakman29 Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 Nice! Here is a tough one . A one sided 45 with an interview of Elvis for the radio. The DJ asks the questions and plays Elvis's reply. Called T.V. guide presents Elvis. That is the AF15 of Elvis 45's. And good luck finding the questions that came with it. Here's my copy.

Ken Aldred Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 A few months back I was chatting with a twentysomething guy who was quite confused about the sound of vinyl.

punksdropdirtysrh Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 Every year I tell myself I’m going to start collecting vinyl but end up using the extra cash for comics instead. I only have one: Tool - Lateralus which I basically bought for the gorgeous design. And it’s my favorite album. I love looking through my local shops collection. Would love to buy more underground punk albums. Dr. Balls and Ken Aldred 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happens to be my favorite Sabbath album! I just picked up a sweet Vol. 4 about a month ago - like a black covered comic, it's very hard to find one that isn't beat up and full of white dings. I found a really nice one, paid a premium and it was worth it. Sounds as good as it looks.

If you're an Elvis man - you and my step-dad would talk for hours. He's been a collector for decades. He's got amazing rarities (mostly lost on me, because I'm not familiar with a lot of 50's/60's music) but he was the first one to show me how to determine pressings 20 years ago (by looking at the matrices). He once found a record at a garage sale that had my mother's maiden name on it from when she had it as a teenager.

"I don't get what's so good about it. There's all this crackling going on in the background." Listening to vinyl is a lot like reading an unslabbed book. There's something that pulls you back to the time when it first came out, and you're looking at it or listening to it like it was 1970 - or 1950 - whenever. I never get over that feeling of nostalgia. oakman29, Larryw7, Ken Aldred and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Aldred Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 You do have to be careful with new vinyl, as they can use later digital remasters rather than the original analogue. And, remaster doesn't always mean better. Larryw7, mrc and newshane 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Believe it or not, Wu-Tang Clan's, "Once Upon a Time in Shaolin", only one copy released in 2015, is the AF 15 of the record world. As it's #1, at 2.1 million dollars, more like the Action 1 of the record world!

Honorable mention to Ringo Starr's personal copy of the White Album, serial number 0000001 sold at auction for about $800,000. A distant second to the Clan.

Would love to buy more underground punk albums. When my daughter was in high school she came one day and told me she was going to see a poet that night. I asked who and she said Henry Rollins. I asked her, isn't he the lead singer for Black Flag? She asked me how I knew that? I showed her where my punk records were. She was astonished that I listened to that stuff. I told her I used to have a lot more fun before she came along and spoiled it. I still have most of those records (other than the ones she swiped)...
