Anybody collecting vinyl (records and albums)? Which artists?  email this discussion to a friend?

My daughters came across one of my old LP's and asked what it was. Seeing a teaching moment, I told them about turntables (what's THAT, dad?).

But then I said how we would put a needle onto this spinning piece of vinyl and one - - with horror in her eyes asked me... you would put a needle on it ... on PURPOSE?

Anybody who knows how vinyl records work ... 33's, 45's or 78's... please write in and send me a friend request and/or reply here and let me know if you are collecting vinyl.

Thanks, folks...

Hell, I purchase NEW releases on vinyl all the time.

My latest acquisition is the double LP release from the band Chickenfoot.

I don't collect them really but I have held onto mine, mostly for sentimental reasons I guess. Your discussion made me think about when we moved into this house, our youngest was only about 6 years old and when he saw the stack of albums, he wanted to know where we kept the cd player that they fit in. I haven't played them in years because I can't locate a needle for the old turntable we have in the basement.

Look online. You can actually purchase new turntables for less than $100 if you can't locate a stylus, or you can replace the entire cartridge assembly for $30-40.

Thanks for the idea lamb, I'll do that..I didn't think I would ever hear music coming from this old Kenwood again, it would be nice to hear my old Black Sabbath albums again.

I wouldn't say I'm collecting vinyl, but I still have all the records I bought in the '60s and '70s when they were pretty much the only medium there was for music. (Shamefully, I also still have a number of 8-track tapes that I keep holding on to... maybe I'm hoping a Museum of Outdated Technology will call me and offer me money to add them to their collection? LOL...)

I still have two turntables, though neither has been connected in years.

I Love vinyl for many reasons. I first got a passion for collecting when a friend got me into spinning and mixing records. There's just something about the feel of a record sliding across the needle. And the tones are much warmer and richer. Also, I'm a big fan of album art, something that has long been lost in the age of mp3's.

Haha, your daughters are adorable!

My father still has a lot of vinyls and listens to them from time to time.
Flashdance, Bob Dylan, Steeleye Span, Fabrizio de Andrè (famous Italian singer and songwriter), etc.
I love those vinyl albums as well.
