R&P! Do you own many LP records, and what are your favorites?

Question

I just went to a garage sale this morning and bought 10 for $10. If I had gotten there 2 minutes earlier, I would have been able to buy every Led Zeppelin album, but another guy snagged them.

But some of the good ones I got today, Are You Experienced?, Led Zeppelin III, Boston, Workingman's Dead, and Surrealistic Pillow.

Answer 1

I have just over 4500..



All The Beatles

All of Led Zeppelin

All of Pink Floyd

All of The Rolling Stones

All of The Who

All of Queen

All of Supertramp..



And then other Albums from other bands as well



Nice deals you scored there..



**edit**



I spent a ton of Money making my Beatles collection complete, as well as for Zeppelin, The Rolling Stones,Pink Floyd and Supertramp.. I have found Albums at Garage Sales, Flea Markets etc, and some have been bought as gifts...

Answer 2

I've got about 100 so far. I recently picked up Surrealistic Pillow as well. Anyway my favorite ones I have so far are The White Album, Blood On the Tracks, Quadrophenia, Dark Side of the Moon, The Wall, The Velvet Underground & Nico, Fresh Fruit For Rotting Vegetables, Planet Waves, In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida, and many more great ones. I usually find a lot at Goodwill and just local record shops.

Answer 3

Well I have around 400-500 stored at my parents cause I have no space for them in my current residence.



I scored most at a landfill when I was dumping off some stuff from clearing the yard almost 2 years ago. Some guy had just left a pile of 300 odd records there. So l put them on the trailer (apart from a few I thought were to awful to let live or fall in innocent hands and were thus disposed of with a swift size 9 shoe.)



Interesting ones I own include a signed copy of Joe Satriani's "Surfing With the Alien" and pretty much the entire output of The Alan Parson Project.

Answer 4

That is a great deal! Led Zeppelin III is probably my favorite Led Zep album (Houses of the Holy is close)....landing Are You Experienced and the rest....that is a steal!



I dont have many LPs since I started collecting music in the Cassette era, but I do have a few from all eras.



My favorites in my collection:



Santana (with the Lion's face with all of the hidden faces in it)



Page France - ....and the family telephone



Two Gallants - The Throes (both PF and TG are new bands, but I love listening to those albums on vinyl)



Jim Nabors - Sings By Request (cant you just hear "Gomer Pyle" singing old standards and gospel songs? lol)



My father has a GREAT collection of vinyl that I cruise through whenever I visit the homestead.

Answer 5

I haven't counted in awhile but I have over 800.



My favorites are Pink Floyd's Dark Side of The Moon, Deep Purple's Stormbringer, Black Sabbath's Heaven and Hell, Megadeth's Peace Sells..But Who's Buying among many others. My vinyls run across many genres.



Edit - well since I was born in the late 60's, a lot of the vinyls came as gifts or that I bought myself. Music and books were what I spent my money on as a child and as I have a father that has always encouraged me to explore music, he bought quite a bit for me during my childhood. I still go shopping for vinyl, there is a great store for it about a 40 minute drive from me. On the rare occasion I may stop at a tag sale but usually that isn't my style.

Answer 6

Styx - Pieces of eight

Corner stone

Paradise Theatre

Kilroy was here (Ha,Ha)

Alice Copper - Greatest Hits



Foreigner - Foreigner

I had allot more but sold them or gave them away.

Answer 7

I still have quite a lot of vinyl, mostly the classics Zep, Hendrix, things like that. But what I look for now are obscure groups like H.S.A.S., Angel City, Things like that. I just recently got my hands on The Kings are Here album. I have been looking for that one for years. At the same time, I also got Shooting Stars debut album. My favorite ones would have to be my picture disks. I have the Japan import of KISSs Rock and Roll over, and several others that I bought with paper-route money in the late 70s.

Answer 8

I don't like Led Zeppelin or most 70's stuff except punk, space rock, industrial, & Parliament. but I like Yardbirds, Black Sabbath, David Lee Roth's Van Halen a bunch, as well & Blue Oyster Cult a little . Since I noticed you like the Doors & Boston, I thought you're cool to an extent yourself. I don't necessarily have as much vinyl records as I've wanted to, but on the on the other hand when I'm no longer in my mortal coil it won't matter about that anyway. However when I've bought vinyl it was at sales sometimes from owners like you mentioned but other places too. Sometimes not at a great deal but sometimes I got lucky. The kind of stores that sell vinyl still varies, but most top 40 oriented do not & for older stuff especially you have get it used of course. For older out of print music it can be had at independently owned records stores typically whether large or small. I don't live in Chicago, I'm in Omaha but I remember a huge place in Chicago I believe was called Restless Records which I don't think was associated with the record label by that name, which was off of Broadway north of downtown & I believe near Belmont that had a lot of vinyl. In Omaha we have stores called "Drastic Plastic" & "Antiquarium" that has vinyl, including used but it's alternative for the most part. However across the Missouri River there's a place in Council Bluffs called "Kane's Collectibles", that has vinyl of all or most genres of music. In Minneapolis there's a huge record store named "Electric Fetus" which has a lot of vinyl of different genres. Buying vinyl from traders at record shows can be expensive sometimes, but if there's something you want extremely bad & can't find it anywhere else you might have to. Of course there's ebay, craig's list & other sites on the internet to check. Also check online at various places for people who post, always check for credibility of people. Before I forget there's a publication called Goldmine that has used items for sale. For getting Cd's cheap, I usually go to the cheap bins at the store whether independent or whereever & amazingly truck stops have the last thing someone would suspect for sale. I even bought a strange comedy movie with Lemmy from Motorhead in it, at a truck stop once--go figure huh?.

Answer 9

Answer 11

I am old enough to have LP's from actually 'back in the day'.

From Elvis to Shaun Cassidy to AC/DC to Soundtraks like Grease.

And so on.

But I still buy from my absolute favorite record store, that is a local used/new and LP store.

My favorite is AC/DC's 'Back In Black', only cause I knew when I heard it I was not in the right era. Even as a kid, I knew.
