Nice shit OP

Got this the other week. Haven't been collecting much this year. I'm also on the lookout for a new turntable. Something between £100-£225 range. Any recs?

Care to share your story, anon?

I bought that Front 242 "Headhunter" 12" back when it first came out. I didn't know that it was meant to played at 45rpm. Took me two spins to figure that out.

Started my vinyl collection few weeks ago lads.

Here's my first purchases.

(Tri Repetae and Africa Must Be Free By 1983 in the top corners)

Used to collect vinyl and it was nothing more than a large expense and a detriment on my already low-income life. If you're young and not making at least $20 an hour full-time then please don't give into meme hobbies that give you some consumer high that lasts for a week, before you end up throwing everything on a goddamn shelf and pulling it out a few times per year at best. I made the same mistake with guitars and guns too. The most important thing to do is create a fractional budget out of each paycheck you get and use that little amount to buy things you want piece by piece. Spending everything at once gets you nowhere in life. You have to be responsible and save some money.

This is why I'm a week shy of 23 and still living with my dad.

Buy an anti-static brush on amazon for $10, it is pretty necessary to get the small amounts of dust off the record right before you play it.

I know this can be contentious online but when I buy a really dirty record I wash it under my sink faucets with a very small amount of unscented dish soap. Then just use my fingers to spread the soap around, then making sure all the soap is off I set it out to dry. Works fantastically, I even wash new LPs with only water to take away any dust and static on the record.
Don't buy an expensive LP cleaner, huge waste of money and are only for fat married men with small penises. Honestly, fuck anyone who suggests you buy an LP cleaning rig.

Don't follow this advice. It is smart to invest in a cleaning system. Spin Clean is very good. But if you're broke, I recommend using a mixture of mostly distilled water and some 99% iso alcohol with an old Discwasher brush.

>>72877186
Nice, I like your taste

>>72878111
I buy everything from slavs on Ebay

This will leave residues on the record that will end up on your needle.

I fucking new someone like you would be waiting to say this.

How is a cleaning rig not the biggest money grab ever? It is literally cheap plastic made to get your LP wet with a cleaning solution. What is wrong with just holding the record in the center with your god given fingers and then using cleaning solution on the grooves? Cleaning rigs are just $100+ replacements for your hands.

>old discwasher BRUSH
sounds like something that would scratch the shit out of a record. Just use water and your fingers.

>>72877186
I don't collect vinyl, but if I did, TMR and Flowers of Romance would be some of my first purchased. Good taste

I replace all sleeves of my records with mofi antistatic sleeves but are too autistic to throw original paper sleeves away.

>>72878384
You are literally retarded. Using your dirty ass hands to clean your albums? Are look into what a Discwasher is. I'm guessing you play your albums on one of those Meme tables (U-Turn, LP120)?

Plus vinyl is an overpriced meme format that hipsters are responsible for bringing back. If you're going to collect vinyl, don't fuck with new pressings, buy used. Don't be a faggot.

Sam garbage as lp120

Ten years ago vinyl used to be affordable and you were able to find rare stuff for a decent price, but now everyone's jumped on the bandwagon. The regrets I have is not buying 20 dollar records back then because "too expensive", while you now see them go on ebay for five times that amount.
