emester
02.26.15 | I got 3 on wax and its one of my faves in my collection. Have fun with the hobby man! Its expensive though so manage yourself.
btw what table did you get? |
Atari
02.26.15 | yeah i can't even imagine how expensive it could get if i'm not careful lol
the turntable isn't exactly top of the line haha, but it has a connection in the back for speakers so i'm gonna get some nicer speakers for it prolly. even with a generic turntable, i'm just excited to finally get my record collection started - i can always upgrade to a better turntable/speaker set up later on when i have more than 1 album on vinyl : D

02.26.15 | Nice man, I've been looking into vinyl myself, but damn it's expensive. |
cvlts
02.26.15 | Congrats man. Vinyl collecting basically made me fall in love with music all over again.
Unless you want a shitty bootleg I doubt you're gonna find 3 as they've only officially pressed it once (to my knowledge) but the rest should be pretty easy to find (never heard of 10 though...)
As for essential records for collectors, I'd say your favorite Elliott Smith album (aka. all of them), DJ Shadow - Entroducing, the first three A Tribe Called Quest albums, Minor Threats discography LP, Miles Davis - Kind of Blue, and your favorite Sabbath/Dio/Osbourne album. |
Atari
02.26.15 | ah man i hope you're wrong about 3 cause that'd be one of my first choices as far as vinyl i'd like to obtain. thanks for the recs too - yeah elliott smith would be nice on vinyl |

TheSpaceMan
02.27.15 | sweet man its a very rewarding hobby, esp if you like music enough to be on sput!
I'd rec starting your collection with your favorite albums that go for less that $25 cause you're gonna be stuck jamming the same few albums over and over till you get things going |
TheSpaceMan
02.27.15 | oh and be prepared to cry when you check the prices of your true favorites cause if you're anything like me they were only pressed once in the 90s and go for over $200 now lol |
SCREAM!
02.27.15 | "ah man i hope you're wrong about 3 cause that'd be one of my first choices"
They're supposed to give it an official repress soon although it'll be remastered from what I hear |
MrSirLordGentleman

Atari
02.27.15 | @SirLord, I would love to acquire Rising on Vinyl. This is just 10 albums I came up with off the top of my head :]

NordicMindset

02.27.15 | my first LP was a beat to hell copy of Zeppelin II. I've since then replaced it with a better one, but I still keep the other just for sentimental reasons. |
TheSpaceMan

DominionMM1
02.27.15 | don't do it man. vinyl is a wallet wrecking succubus. turn back now. |

02.27.15 | "Unless you want a shitty bootleg I doubt you're gonna find 3 as they've only officially pressed it once (to my knowledge)"
they're not really bootlegs as the Grau pressings were taken from the original masters. they just weren't authorized by the band. |
judasgoat
02.27.15 | "don't do it man. vinyl is a wallet wrecking succubus. turn back now."
^^^ This.
That said, if 10 was pressed on vinyl, I would cry. And then buy 10 copies. |
Phlegm
02.27.15 | no wonder you waste so much money, buying 10 copies of individual awful albums |
puntugruhm
03.11.15 | born too late is great for vinyl.
portishead s/t, some ragtime is awesome, get your favorite blues record, a love supreme is a must. when you get good speakers, sunn is fucking phenomenal.
my first was "everybody loves the sunshine" by roy ayers. i highly recommend that as well. |
Hopelust
03.11.15 | First vinyl was Hopesfall - The Satellite Years.
Purchase any Coldplay album, if you like Coldplay. All their shit on vinyl sounds significantly better than on other mediums. |
