I still have them and they just sit there in a cupboard.

I replaced most of them with CDs... but not all.

I don't think I could get myself to get ride of them... not unless someone offered me money for them.

If you have some original LPs from famous bands... the cover might be just as valuable as the LP. All that stuff is collector item now... and can only go up in price as it gets older.


myLot reputation of 100/100. suehan1 (1773)   ranked 559 out of 6,105 in listening to music  6 months ago

yes my good ones like all my elton john ones and others like him are in my cupboard as well.i know they are collectable and kept these ones.the ones that i gave my daughter were not as valuable as the ones i have stashed.i once put some out in a garage sale and this guy came up to me and told me to keep them as some of them were valuable.i would like to find out how much some of these records were worth.cheers sue

A good place to find out would be Ebay.

Do a search to find out if anyone is selling old records... and you will see how much they sell them for.

The only way to make money of that stuff is to sell it to collectors... but collectors want stuff in good condition. Not only the LP... but the cover as well.

thats a good idea aussie to see how much they are worth.cheers sue

lol I still have all my old records and even my Dads' ones.....Benny Goodman etc. etc. blush What a great idea that your daughter has made use of them. I have one of Dragon my very favourite band and will be seeing them perform in a few weeks and am tempted to take it along to have it signed. Daughter is coming along too maybe I could get her to do it for me.......this old girl has become shyer in her old age! shocked


myLot reputation of 100/100. suehan1 (1773)   ranked 559 out of 6,105 in listening to music  6 months ago

i don't believe you are getting shyer with age,just wait till you get to the concert with your record to be signed you will be beating the younger ones with a stick to get to them.i am like an old groupie when i go to a concert with my daughter,she actually gets embarrased.i have a few dragon records as well. was it marc hunter the lead singer,didn't he die a few years back.cheers sue


myLot reputation of 97/100. caramello (2172)   ranked 147 out of 6,105 in listening to music  6 months ago

Yes Marc did pass away and I was lucky enough to see him when he did a concert out on his own with backup only months before he did die. The new singer is good and Marcs' brother Todd is still in the band.


myLot reputation of 100/100. suehan1 (1773)   ranked 559 out of 6,105 in listening to music  6 months ago

yes i thought it was marc who passed away. i remember many,many years ago drinking with him and a few of his mates at a bar near the cross in sydney,gosh i think i was about 20 or so.long long time ago.cheer sue


myLot reputation of 97/100. caramello (2172)   ranked 147 out of 6,105 in listening to music  6 months ago

shocked I am so envious of you Sue, although if it had of been me in that situation I would most likely have had "locked jaw" and not even a drink would have got into the mouth. lol The last time I did see him his illness was starting to take over as he did not look well at all and his voice was straining. sad


myLot reputation of 97/100. caramello (2172)   ranked 147 out of 6,105 in listening to music  6 months ago

On another sad note did see Billy Thorpe when he performed down here and then he passed away a week later, but have some great pics. of the man.


myLot reputation of 100/100. suehan1 (1773)   ranked 559 out of 6,105 in listening to music  6 months ago

when i knew marc he was as young as me and a bit of a wild one for sure.i love billy thorpe and was really upset when he passed away as i love his music and saw him perorm many,many years ago.cheers sue

myLot reputation of 100/100. suehan1 (1773)   ranked 559 out of 6,105 in listening to music  5 months ago

wow what a novel idea, unfortunately I never kept my albums and old records.


myLot reputation of 100/100. suehan1 (1773)   ranked 559 out of 6,105 in listening to music  5 months ago

thats a shame you did not keep your old records,the feature wall looks great and it would be ideal for a bar room or a rumpus room.she is such a clever thing,i wonder what she comes up with next.cheers sue

wow that really was a good idea, something i would love to do actually. Unfortunately for me I have not saved my old LP's or even cassettes. It's a shame to when I think of all the money I've spent on music, would have been nice to get some original use out of it all:P most people I know if they still have them keep them in storage or even under a bed or couch.


myLot reputation of 100/100. suehan1 (1773)   ranked 559 out of 6,105 in listening to music  5 months ago

yes i thought it was a great idea and it looks fantastic,something i never thought of doing.its a shame you have not kept your old LP's as some of them could have been collectables as aussie mentioned earlier.cheers sue

My daughter's college roommate is an artist and she bought some cool looking albums for her to paint on and decorate their dorm room. Some of those oldies have some really cool graphics on them.


myLot reputation of 100/100. suehan1 (1773)   ranked 559 out of 6,105 in listening to music  5 months ago

yes they do have some really good graphics on them. i wish my camera was working ans i could upload a photo,but the way they placed them on the walls looks great and very original.the girls dorm room must look good.cheers sue

Wow that sounds awesome! I have a whole bunch of old LPs that I have scored over the years from relatives but I'm a music nerd so I don't know if I could hang them up or do anything artistic with them! Can you get a photo of it for us and post it here? I'd love to see it!


myLot reputation of 100/100. suehan1 (1773)   ranked 559 out of 6,105 in listening to music  5 months ago

sorry can't do the photo,until i get my camera fixed,i would love to show you,it does look awesome.i was thinking if you got the right size picture frame that you could put the albums in,it would look good also,and also protect the albums,if i get my camera fixed soon,i will e-mail you with a photo.cheers sue
