This came yesterday, very happy I pre-ordered it.

>considering starting a record collection
>see that new vinyls cost $18 minimum but usually go for $25-28

They make for really, really nice art and all, which is why I'd be buying them in the first place. And I'm still tempted. But holy shit, just 4 albums and you're already in it for over $100 and 10 albums and you're in it $200-250+.

Plus it feels so hipstery since I didn't grow up with records

>>61691622

buy used if your into older music. you can build a nice collection of classics for 1-5$ an album

>>61691622
I've bought 50+ records in a years time and have enjoyed them so much I didn't really think about what they've costed me

I make ok money though so I guess a hobby like this isn't too bad

>>61691622
that's if you're dumb about things

people constantly selling their records in and putting brand new records out at significantly dropped prices

I got a 2003 artpunk band's debut LP, gold vinyl limited to 2000, for less than 8 bucks in VG+ condition because no one knows who they are

i've snagged great world music records for less than 10 bucks

unfortunately really great stuff like SF Sorrow or Tago Mago....that shit costs a lot to get early pressings of

also record collecting is a community. Not just a dumb solo hobby

Finally got my 1985 Butthole Surfers EP Creamed Corn from the Sockett of Davis. Gotta love going to Florida. But I've been collecting for years now.

I'd be interested in getting mostly new stuff. There are a bunch of new albums I'd love to have on vinyl just for how beautiful they look and nicely designed they are. It just bothers me that I've gotta pay a fad premium since vinyls are such a thing right now. On the other hand if they weren't a thing maybe they wouldn't be available on vinyl.

I make decent money, but I don't like wasting it. I guess I could just buy a few records and a nice player and take it from there...

>>61692036
I only buy a couple every couple of months or so now, just space it out

>>61692036
vinyl is the plural of vinyl

also vinyl is just the medium. Would you refer to CDs as "plastics"?

and money enjoyed on a great constructive hobby isn't really wasted

>>61692036
You really don't have to pay that much though, people sell back new vinyl all the time, and you can buy it then. Lesser known new bands will get their prices knocked down a week or two after release. Not shopping at large chain vinyl stores, but instead going to little local places also cuts cost way down.

>>61692036
Buy record equipment like players, speakers and amps from places like Goodwill and estate sales, Its much better made, quality vintage equipment at a fraction of the price of vintage audio stores, and much better quality than the modern crossley type bullshit that's still triple the price.

>>61693371
that's pretty damn swell for starting out. Are those all reissues?

Be sure to keep an eye out for any early Beefheart records. Sometimes you can snag 'em for dirt cheap. Got Mirror Man for way less than i should have because it's not a meme

someone sold it on my local record store for the avg discogs price which is around 35 dollars

came with a nice poster too

>>61693648

>tfw Geogaddi is the only BoC vinyl (and release ever) I own

I really want Music Has The Right and Twoism, but I don't want to import them... no one here is selling BoC stuff.

>>61693648
Is this sub infatuated with jamie xx now?

I have hundreds of records and CDs. It doesn't fit on one image, unless you want to see my shelves.

>>61693935
No good shops around? Those pressings were pretty big

>>61693988
i bought it before all the hype and therefor had to pay a hefty price for a sub-par copy
decided to post it anyways because i see it mentioned quite often

>>61694101

There are, but they haven't stocked Boards of Canada stuff for over a year now.

Buying Blackstar and Art Angels next week hopefully.

Managed to cop a Linn Sondek LP12 with a Ittok tonearm in great condition (no cartridge) for $500. What's a good high end cartridge to get?

>>61695193
I own that and the inner sleeve fucking sucks because it doesn't slide in easily

>>61695234

The original or the Russian clear reissue?

I think the outer jacket is made of PVC, so be careful.

In thrift stores, is the album "Sweet Baby James" like the Jerry Maguire of Vinyl? I see it alot at thrift stores and used book stores around me.

Considering getting one of these, is there anything better in that price class?

>>61695328

If you want to get a moving coil cartridge, remember that you can't replace the stylus on these, and it may require an additional amplifier stage because MCs has a microvolt output.

>>61696533

Can't answer that one, I know very little about MC. Unless you're super ultra audiophile, I don't think MCs are worth it.

CDs are just so lame as a physical copy though. I have plenty but it doesnt feel as special as having a big beautiful vinyl record. I understand that the sound quality is better on CD but vinyl is just a completely different, and in my opinion, a more satisfying experience.

Recent purchases. I'm new to viny so I'm just getting a lot of my personal essentials. Except for JC Superstar which I haven't listened to before, but it was 4 bucks so why not. Even came with the original lyrics booklet thing.

>>61697630
My mom has that JCS album, I always thought the leather-like sleeve was always really cool

>>61697630
I'm from Tennessee and I see Jesus Christ Superstar and other christian garbage at every thrift store and goodwill. First time I read "Jesus Christ Superstar" I laughed my ass off.

>>61690505
Great bait, mate.

>>61697707
Jesus Christ Superstar is not christian garbage. It's a rock opera by Andrew Lloyd Webber that Christians lost their shit over since they saw it as heresy. jesus dude.

>>61697692
Yeah, the packaging is pretty cool. It's all in relatively good condition too so 4 bucks seems like a steal.
