So I've decided this year with any money I get for my birthday to invest in a vinyl record player. There's a good one I've seen going for under £200 that'll fit my needs neatly. It's just overtime I've accumulated different vinyl releases that some of my favourite acts like McFly, Sophie Ellis-Bextor and/or Girls Aloud have put out of their singles, and even vinyl of even older stuff that my parents had that I've never really had the chance to listen to properly.

I guess I was just wondering, what with the rise in interest in vinyl of late whether any Buzzjackers listened to and/or bought any vinyl?

I feel this may be better suited in the Retro forum so am moving it there!

Posted by: ThePensmith 18th July 2015, 05:54 PM

Thank you Silas. I was deliberating whether or not to put it in there!

Posted by: Jade 18th July 2015, 05:58 PM

Yes yes yessss! I got a record player last year for my 17th birthday and love to collect vinyl. I have an orange Crosley one which probably isn't the best out there but the design is lovely. Currently working on getting all the Now albums and Beatles ones. The latter are very expensive though so tend to just keep an eye out when going to carboot sales / charity shops.

Posted by: ThePensmith 18th July 2015, 06:04 PM

See I was looking at a Crosley but most of the reviews said it was a bit style and no substance. And I don't wanna damage any of my folks' old records if I can. Especially their Beatles and Simon & Garfunkel (the 'With the Beatles' one is my mum's from when she was growing up and has 'Shirley McCartney' written on it. Bless her 15 year old fangirl cotton socks!)

Posted by: Juicy Jay ジ 18th July 2015, 08:20 PM

I've had my own vinyl player since 2004! It was after I bought the 'Love Machine' vinyl. Since then I've amassed a rather large vinyl collection.

Posted by: Joe. 18th July 2015, 08:26 PM

I started collecting Vinyls this year - Not all of them retro. There's something a lot more rewarding/satisfying about owning a vinyl compared to a CD.

Posted by: dandystar 18th July 2015, 09:04 PM

Vinyls are great. I don't actually have a player any longer but I get them primarily because they're just so much more tactile and the attention to detail in the artwork and packaging is just that little bit more special.

The most recent is the 7" in the Years and Years boxset but my favourites are my David Bowie and Patrick Wolf vinyls. Oh and the Portishead ones from their Third era.

Posted by: T Boy 19th July 2015, 11:46 AM

I'm very tempted to get a vinyl player. Can't help but think I'd play them more than CDs.

Posted by: popchartfreak 19th July 2015, 08:45 PM

I have thousands of vinyl records and I'm enormously attached to them in a way I'm completely not attached to CD's.

I dont play them due to lack of time and space, but I am working on MP3 versions which are more convenient and often better-sounding than CD and download. Neil Young has just withdrawn his music from streaming as the sound-quality is so sh*tty. He felt the same about CD back in the day...

Posted by: Doctor Blind 19th July 2015, 08:49 PM

The claims about vinyl being of better sound quality than digital are simply untrue (no matter what Neil Young thinks) however it is certainly true that listening to cheaply decoded MP3 formats through £2 headphones isn't going to give as rich a listening experience as vinyl playing through some quality speakers/sound system.

I have a vinyl player and use it loads - this week I have been playing Jamie xx's album on repeat.

I also have some bespoke frames to frame my 12" singles and albums in on the wall in the lounge.

Posted by: popchartfreak 19th July 2015, 08:58 PM

I dont think he had a problem with digital, just CD (which did improve with time, the early CD's, despite hype, were often very badly transferred tinny-sounding nightmares). Streaming though, he's not a fan

Posted by: M¤th 19th July 2015, 11:12 PM

My vinyls:

NEW STUFF:

Jamie XX - In Colour
Purity Ring - Another Eternity (clear vinyl)
CHVRCHES - Under The Tide (RSD Black Friday 2014)
Florence & The Machine - What Kind Of Man (blue vinyl // RSD 2015)
SBTRKT - Wonder Where We Land
Bastille - Other People's Heartache, Vol. III (limited red vinyl)
Alt-J - This Is All Yours (green/red vinyl)
Hozier - Hozier
Tycho - Awake
Tony Bennett & Lady Gaga - Cheek to Cheek
Disclosure - Apollo (RSD 2014)

...and some old stuff. Looking out for Melanie's new album and Twenty One Pilots too. I ADORE vinyl.

Posted by: AntoineTTe 20th July 2015, 07:25 AM

Could people stop calling them vinyls!!!! If you need a plural word they're records. Otherwise it's vinyl. That's todays lesson in music format nomenclature.

I have about 60/70 records.

Much of it is 80s stuff. I've quite a few New Order singles on 12" and Lowlife and Technique also. I've Now 10,11,12,13,14,15,16,18 and Hits 6,7,8,10. Lots of PSB/Erasure/rave and trance.

Posted by: richie 20th July 2015, 07:41 AM

I'd go a step further and say stop calling them 'vinyl' altogether. They were always records when it was the main format.

Me? I've got at least a thousand old records on the shelf in 7", 10" and 12" sizes. Not sure if my record player works though - it was a minimalist arty-farty one I bought about four years ago which might have not survived the house move we had last year. I need a new amp and speakers too.

Posted by: steve201 26th July 2015, 05:39 PM

Love it myself, latest record I purchased was The Chemical Bros last week and Major Lazer last month!

Posted by: Mart!n 26th July 2015, 07:33 PM

Got loads of vinyls, albums, 12" 7" and even coloured vinyls, got a record deck which is pretty ancient, it plays both sides without flipping it, the stylus goes under, but somehow I misplaced the speakers over the years, I think I took them to a car boot sale by mistake, as I thought they belong to something else.

Posted by: popchartfreak 26th July 2015, 09:11 PM

I'll go along with that. From hereon Records it is!

Ive got about 5 or 6000 records and cd's. I had a major tragedy with my very first 30 or so 45rpm's, my most precious. I bought protective synthetic covers for them, but them in a record box, and the effing material (which had no warnings on it) reacted with the vinyl and ruined them. Gutted. Now all I can do is look at them through the original sleeve and avoid taking them out of it so I dont get depressed looking at the mottling.

Posted by: ThePensmith 27th July 2015, 08:48 AM

Getting my TURNTABLE on Thursday

I've already bought The Beatles '1' album and second hand copies of Pet Shop Boys 'Actually' and The Human League's 'Dare' to break it in. I'm very excited!

Posted by: ϑЃεβϘ 27th July 2015, 09:20 AM

Oh and while we're on the subject, it is a turntable, record deck or record player, not a vinyl player!

Last time I was at my parent's, I brought back my 7" collection. So many memories!

Tesco is joining the vinyl revolution

http://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/music/news/tesco-is-joining-the-vinyl-revolution-10481616.html

What does everyone make of this news?

Whilst I'm happy that vinyl sales are increasing at the moment, I am a little worried that supermarkets are trying to muscle in to a market that struggles to survive as it is and may end up putting a lot of small independent record shops out of business.

Posted by: popchartfreak 2nd September 2015, 10:39 AM

yes. The supermarkets killed off the record store (and the High Street generally) to a large degree. I don't want to see a piddling token amount of popular vinyl albums leaving the niche ones to the indies when they need a few name albums to draw people in. I went into Rough Trade in London and it was SO fab, just seeing racks of new vinyl and actual physical music.

Hopefully it's just a publicity stunt that won't catch on, the vast majority of people don't buy vinyl and Tesco can concentrate on toilet paper and dead animal factory slave products instead. Or buying in illegally-chopped rainforest timber products. Or screwing milk farmers.

These are facts according to some media sources....

Posted by: richie 2nd September 2015, 12:36 PM

A wee bit of good publicity for Tesco, a wee plug for Iron Maiden, a chance for middle-aged men to get misty-eyed over the copy of Now 11 they got from somebody for a birthday present once, a way to fill space in the Independent.

Not going to start a revolution or anything.

The saddest thing about records in shops now is that they've been sold alongside 12" picture frames for at least the last 10 years.

My record collecting was on halt this year, as my record player has been packed away since January when my room was completely redecorated. I've now got it back out earlier in the week and have resumed collecting as a result! Got Lana Del Rey - 'Born To Die' and Kendrick Lamar - 'Good Kid, M.A.A.D City' today from HMV, two of my favourite 2012 releases

Which records have you guys bought this year? ;o

Posted by: BillyH 5th December 2016, 11:47 PM

One of my favourite vinyl purchases is Now 22 - quite rare on vinyl as the format was rapidly losing popularity by then (1992) in a dusty charity shop in Oxford. Think it was back in 2009. Cost was £1.

A few days ago the same album sold on eBay for £35.

Posted by: Slade 6th December 2016, 12:08 AM

^ Ooh! I have Now 1-10 and 16 on vinyl and would love some of the 20s ones. Good find!!

Quickly popped into a charity shop while waiting for the bus in hope of a good find today. In amongst lots of brass compilations, I did find a 7" 'Do The Bartman' record

Posted by: richie 6th December 2016, 12:12 PM

I wonder if that's my Simpsons record? I sold my copy on in about 1993!

Posted by: Steve201 7th December 2016, 09:17 PM

What was the material??

Posted by: Steve201 7th December 2016, 09:26 PM

My most recent addition was Rumours by Fleetwood Mac which was only 11 quid!

Does anyone else try and buy authentic originals when in second hand shops? Other than the date how do you know it's the original and not a rerelease like a lot of Beatles tracks in the 80s etc?

Posted by: Doctor Blind 7th December 2016, 10:03 PM

Wow, I've got Now 20 on cassette. Definitely the first album I ever got (as a Christmas 1991 present), It introduced me to the KLF but I mainly played “Dizzy” (whilst spinning around and around and around in the living room - so I'm told).

Posted by: DalekTurret32 9th December 2016, 08:29 PM

I have Now 6 and Now 10 on vinyl (some of the first vinyl I ever bought [13/09/2015 from my local record store. I did not get a vinyl that wasn't secondhand until I bought The Vaccines' English Graffiti 13 days after buying the NOW albums])

Posted by: DalekTurret32 9th December 2016, 08:41 PM

Recent vinyl additions:


Shimon and Andy C - Mutation/Genetix 12" (from my local Scope on Tuesday)
Pink Floyd - The Wall [2016 180gm vinyl reissue] (got that as a name day gift on Tuesday [one of the best albums I ever heard next to The Beatles' Abbey Road])
The xx - On Hold [single-sided 7" with etching on side B] (7" from my local record store on Friday. I have both of xx's albums on vinyl, and I can't wait for the next album )
Flume - Skin Companion EP 1 (bought that along with the xx 7" from my record store. My favourite tracks from the EP are Trust and Heater)
David Bowie - Blackstar (My favourite album of the year, so it was nice to receive that as a birthday gift)
Leonard Cohen - You Want It Darker (Another birthday gift. This will be placed really high on my upcoming Best Albums of 2016 list. Shame that he passed away )
The Who - Be Lucky [RSD2015 blue vinyl] (My friend gave me this beauty as a gift for my birthday. The design for the 7" is really cool, because it looks like that mod symbol)
Pink Floyd - The Dark Side Of The Moon [2016 180gm vinyl reissue] (Yet another birthday gift. I remember seeing a secondhand copy of this in a Sue Ryder shop months ago, when I bought Black's Wonderful Life LP to pay tribute ro the late singer Colin Vearcombe, but the LP cost £40 [they somehow knew that this record would be valuable])

I also managed to get a few CDs [Alanis Morissette's Jagged Little Pill and Oasis' Sunday Morning Call (minimax CD single)]

Was in the big Sainsburys near us earlier which used to be a Savacentre. They've a lot of vinyl and was talking to the lass re-stocking and she says it's selling quite well, especially Rumours, Pink Floyd and one or two other oldies. Bit expensive though compared to the equivalent CD. Rumours for example was a fiver for the CD and the LP was £12. Maybe they need to drop the price by a quid or two.

Posted by: crazy christmas 16th December 2016, 03:41 PM

DELETED. Double post.

Posted by: DalekTurret32 17th December 2016, 10:12 AM

£12 is a good price for me when buying newly-pressed vinyl.
My maximum great value would have to be £19.99
£20-£25 (e.g. Tame Impala albums, Blondie's Plastic Letters on picture disc, The Maccabees' Colour It In, Bat For Lashes' The Bride) (okay)
£26 and above (e.g. Bastille's Wild World, The Magnetic Fields - 69 Love Songs [10" boxset]) (too much, I shall only buy if I really want it)

For 7-inches (the maximum price for me would have to be 9.99. But 12.99 would also be acceptable)
For 10-inches (the maximum price for me would have to be 14.99.)
For 12-inch singles (the maximum price for me would have to be, like with the 10-inches, 14.99. If it's something 19.99, like Massive Attack's The Spoils 12", or a higher price than that, like Run-DMC's Christmas In Hollis [Black Friday exclusive picture disc, £22.99(?)], I would have to think wisely and decide if I really want it)

Posted by: Cremey 17th December 2016, 11:30 AM

Yeah £12 is great for a vinyl!
I see them mostly £20-£25.

Definitely worth spending the extra money for what you get compared to a CD.

Posted by: r0bski 17th December 2016, 11:54 AM

I treated myself to a deck this year, a Project Debut with carbon arm, fantastic deck.

My most recent purchases of vinyl are:
Frankie Goes To Hollywood - Welcome To The Pleasuredome (white vinyl)
Madonna - True Blue (blue vinyl)
Madonna - Like A Prayer (red vinyl)
Manic Street Preachers - Everything Must Go (blue vinyl)

Next purchase will be Peter Gabriel's So album (remastered)

I don't tend to hunt down 'old records' and am perfectly happy with represses as long as they sound good!

A Greek second-hand record store, except for the "One More Try" 7" which was in an Animal Sanctuary charity shop

Posted by: Ryan 5th January 2017, 10:06 PM

Hey was wondering if any of you guys could give some advice. I'm wanting to buy a turntable and was wondering if anyone could reccommend anything decent?

I was looking at this and its within my price range. Also any decent speakers that could go with a product like this?

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Audio-Technica-AT-LP60USB-AT-LP60-USB-Turntable/dp/B00EUSMFPQ/ref=pd_vtph_23_tr_t_2?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=JM5NHVYAZDX9CZRWQE0K

I was going to buy a Crosley with the build speakers etc because its cheaper but after reading reviews and stuff they aren't particularly well praised. Thanks!

Posted by: Steve201 5th January 2017, 10:46 PM

Cool!

Posted by: DalekTurret32 5th January 2017, 10:46 PM

Not sure if I would recommend Crosley!
A really good player would be the Ion Audio Max LP (look it up

Posted by: Steve201 5th January 2017, 10:51 PM

I have an Auna Classic Prono which has always done me well, classic look so fits in well as a piece of furniture in the living room - has a white finish and a radio on the front too. Don't have speakers but the sound is fine!

Posted by: lewistgreen 5th January 2017, 11:22 PM

Yeah do not bother with Crosley, got one in 2015 and it ruined my records, not to mention the sound is horribly quiet and tinny!

Posted by: dandy* 6th January 2017, 12:44 AM

How much are you thinking of spending?

The Sony PS-HX500 is excellent as it sounds great but also allows you to make digital copies of your vinyl.

Posted by: Jacob Alan 6th January 2017, 12:55 AM

Don't know about that specific Turntable but I can recommend Audio Technica as a brand, I've got some fantastic AT headphones and a very decent AT Mic.

I own a vinyl copy of Frank, but I might consider buying Back To Black on vinyl sometime, even though I own it on CD

Posted by: Ryan 10th January 2017, 02:43 AM

Thanks for all the advice and response guys! Went with the one I posted in the end and its suited me really well. I'm so happy with my little setup.

Discogs good for buying stuff? I got Kendrick Lamar - How To Pimp A Butterfly on record and its wonderful. Also got the Back to Black for 11.99 like Jade!

It looks good for buying stuff. You can find almost everything for sale

Have you played this? What did you think of the song? It's not their greatest, but nice to see that name mentioned on Buzzjack.

I have played it! I really like it.

Have added:

to the collection this week *.*

Posted by: Suedehead2 20th January 2017, 04:27 PM

Good to see Thousand Yard Stare get a mention! I've got several of their early Eps on 12" vinyl.

Posted by: Steve201 20th January 2017, 11:28 PM

What a great choice of three records to buy - how much?

Posted by: Jade 21st January 2017, 12:44 AM

Gracias *.* Jamie xx was £15.99, The xx £16.99 and Disclosure £22.99!

Posted by: DalekTurret32 21st January 2017, 01:09 AM

Great choices. Actually have I See You on vinyl and bought In Colour on iTunes a long time ago, but still need to get it on vinyl.

Settle is something I have to buy sometime.

Posted by: Steve201 22nd January 2017, 02:57 PM

Recent purchases from the last 7 days:


Spacemen 3 - Losing Touch With Your Mind (unofficial album pressed in Spain containing alternate versions and rarities. Found this in an Animal Sanctuary shop)
Buzzcocks - Spiral Scratch 7" EP [40th anniversary repress] (Classic 70's punk EP! [Favourite Tracks: Boredom, Times Up])
Feeder - Suffocate [purple 7"] (bought this from an Age UK shop. Good song.)
Various Artists - Ambient Dub Volume 1: The Big Chill (went back to the same charity shop the next day to get the rest of the Spacemen 3 batch, only to find that it has already been sold. So I had to get this instead, considering my appreciation for ambient electronic music [especially Aphex Twin]. Just completed the first record and it sounds great.)
Frankie Goes To Hollywood - Relax 7" (from an Animal Sanctuary shop, along with the next two 7-inches listed. It's in a picture sleeve and not just taken out of its original sleeve and put in some generic white sleeve)
George Michael - Careless Whisper 7" (the 3rd George Michael solo 7" in my collection, along with Too Funky and One More Try.)
Lee "Scratch" Perry - Kentucky Skank (2003 MOJO Mag Exclusive 7")
David Bowie - Sound And Vision [40th anniversary picture disc] (bought from my local record store. The 3rd Bowie pic disc in my collection, along with Life On Mars and TVC15)

Posted by: Jade 30th March 2017, 02:51 PM

I think my only purchase since last posting here was Donna Summer's greatest hits *.*

Will any of you guys be taking advantage of Record Store Day on April 22nd? Just had a look at everything available this year and I'm interested in the Deee-Lite, Little Mix, Manic Street Preachers and Ryo Kawasaki records if either of my local record stores who are participating will have them!

Looks like you have so much Brand New stuff

Posted by: Steve201 30th March 2017, 10:22 PM

Welcome to the vinyl world Emily!

Haven't purchased anything since last posting - although I'm getting married at the end of the year so I haven't a lot of cash to spare these days!!

Badumtish! Nice joke


Thanks!

Yeah, getting married is expensive, you have my sympathy!

Posted by: Velvet Gold 4th April 2017, 02:34 AM

I'm trying to buy fewer records, but the collector in me keeps fighting back. I bought a recent press of the Rolling Stones' Let It Bleed the other day, to replace my old copy, which had warped a little. The replacement turned out to be in stereo, and Let It Bleed is one of those albums which just sounds horrible in stereo. Taking it back. Online, I recently ordered Mick Ronson's Slaughter on 10th Avenue. I love that record so much, it's crazy to believe that I haven't owned a playable copy for years. Discogs seller says "NM". We'll see.

Posted by: Velvet Gold 4th April 2017, 02:20 PM

Status update: the postie did not bring my record. Instead I got ugly socks from my mother. A poor substitute.

Posted by: Jade 🐱 7th April 2017, 02:38 PM

The Beatles - 'Strawberry Fields Forever/Penny Lane' has been added to the Record Store Day 2017 releases list so you can imagine my happiness as they're my favourite band Those shall get snapped up pretty quickly though I imagine, better get there early.

Latest addition to my record collection is Melanie Martinez - 'Cry Baby' which arrived in the post today

Posted by: DalekTurret32 7th April 2017, 05:04 PM

My recent additions:

London Grammar - Big Picture 7" (from my local record store)

I love Aimee

LOL. Socks are socks and no-one will notice them.

Posted by: Velvet Gold 8th April 2017, 12:51 PM

My records showed up today! Slaughter on 10th Avenue and some Mott the Hoople singles. I also got two LPs from the charity shop, the Monkees' self-titled and a David Bowie compilation.

Posted by: Doctor Blind 8th April 2017, 08:12 PM

I had no idea this was released! It is one of my favourite songs of the year (4 weeks at number 1 on my personal chart!)

I used to buy all of my number 1s on CD/vinyl etc. but stopped in 2010 when the physical died a death, I used to really love those Monday treks down to HMV in Exeter for the singles.

Posted by: DalekTurret32 9th April 2017, 03:25 PM

It got released on 7" two days ago, but it might be exclusive to indie record stores.

Posted by: Doctor Blind 9th April 2017, 04:27 PM

Yep - thanks I picked it up today in town. I didn't realise they had planned to release it on vinyl. : )

Posted by: Velvet Gold 17th April 2017, 11:07 PM

I picked up a Johnny Cash compilation and a 180g reissue of Sticky Fingers for £7 each at Flying Tiger. They have records in from time to time.

Posted by: Doctor Blind 17th April 2017, 11:54 PM

There used to be an ice cream shop in Dawlish called Sticky Fingers (named after said album). Not sure if it's there anymore though..

The bike shop incidentally is called Breaking Wind and my trusty steed was bought from said establishment!

Posted by: DalekTurret32 18th April 2017, 11:55 AM

I want to get Sticky Fingers on vinyl but it has to be the one with the actual zip on it (which involves pulling down the zip to reveal the legs on the cover in underwear)

My recent vinyl finds are Willie J Healey's Greys on clear 7" vinyl and Roots Manuva's Run Come Save Me LP (the latter of which I found in Oxfam)

Anyone else get anything for record store day today? I got to my record store at about 10am which I figured out was a bit too late. Obviously didn't get my hands on The Beatles and sadly not Deee-Lite or Manic Street Preachers either. But I diiiiid get:



- Little Mix - 'Glory Days' (feat. neon pink vinyl *.* was the last one left)
- Ryo Kawasaki - 'Selected Works Part 2 - 1976 - 1980' (apparently I was the first person to ask for this, discovered him through my BJSC 80s spinoff entry 'Hawaiian Caravan')
- The Buggles - 'Video Killed The Radio Star' (had to get a cheesy but brilliant one in there)
- Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds - 'El Mexicano' picture disc (they had 40% off stuff from RSD 2015 and 2016, so I picked this up from that selection)

Posted by: popchartfreak 23rd April 2017, 08:22 AM

oh I wish I had the space to buy more vinyl, I literally had to stop as there is no more room in the tiny bedroom I basically live in - and I managed to squeeze 6000+ records and cd's in there before the floor disappeared

ah well saves money, glass half full

Posted by: DalekTurret32 23rd April 2017, 11:39 AM

I managed to get David Bowie's No Plan EP on clear blue vinyl.

Posted by: Jade 29th April 2017, 07:49 PM

Posted by: Jade 2nd July 2017, 07:19 PM

^ I approve of your Beatles purchase *.* I need to re-purchase Sgt. Pepper's at some point, my grandad gave a duplicate copy to me but one of the records is missing

Got Lana Del Rey - 'Ultraviolence' today! So just 'Honeymoon' left now from her discography that I don't own on vinyl.

Posted by: RobinJuanPersie 2nd July 2017, 09:14 PM

I'm going to get a record player soon but I've already bought my first vinyl.

I got Ariana Grande - Dangerous Woman of course. It's beautiful

Posted by: DalekTurret32 2nd July 2017, 09:59 PM

Thanks!
Sad to see that your copy of Sgt Pepper's has a record missing, especially if it's a really old pressing. Fun Fact: I have 60's mono pressings of With The Beatles, A Hard Day's Night and Help!
There's some Lana Del Rey picture disc 7-inches on Discogs (Video Games, Ride, National Anthem, Born To Die, Blue Jeans). Prices currently range from £15 to £35

Posted by: dandy* 12th July 2017, 09:00 PM

My Radiohead OKNOTOK box arrived today!

And easily becomes my most expensive vinyl to date, still it was worth it. Maybe.

Now need to find myself a cassette player for the mixtape!

Posted by: DalekTurret32 12th July 2017, 09:17 PM

I have that album on triple blue vinyl.
You are so lucky to have the box edition of this album, I saw a video posted on Radiohead's Instagram account with some man unboxing the album.

Posted by: Jade 16th July 2017, 12:51 AM

Added Kraftwerk - 'Man Machine' to the collection today the guy who served me patronisingly said "are you buying this for yourself?? " yes m8 x

Posted by: LadyLea 16th July 2017, 08:53 AM

My other half always buys an album on vinyl, not just on CD; he likes to get it on every format there is. Last year he got Biffy Clyro's previous album on vinyl and then did the same with "Puzzle" on this extra-thick release of the album on Record Store Day 2015. It was a tougher material than usual and had an extra track from the CD version.

I have my own collection of vinyl, but it's a waste of money having two copies of the same thing in the flat!.

Been going on eBay quite a lot buying 80s vinyl of stuff that's never been put to CD yet, we are both after a new turntable because we only use a USB jobby at the moment and the stylus is a cheap ceramic thing, meaning the sound isn't exactly the best it can be.

Posted by: lewistgreen 16th July 2017, 02:25 PM

I wonder if anyone can answer this for me...

I have a Bush Classic turntable which I bought after returning my Crosley Cruiser because the sound is incredibly distorted. BUT, my Bush turntable has exactly the same problem with sound distortion where vocal just sounds really fuzzy and unpleasant... it's really off-putting trying to listen to vinyls when this happens with near enough every song that plays! Does anyone have the same or similar turntable? From what I've read online it's something to do with the needle arm, but on such basic models the weight of this cannot be adjusted... Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Posted by: Joe. 16th July 2017, 02:42 PM

Is anyone noticing artists getting out their vinyls on time is becoming increasingly difficult? Beyonce, Lorde, Katy Perry, Haim, Lana Del Rey and Calvin Harris all have their vinyls coming out months after release...

Posted by: Cremey 16th July 2017, 04:29 PM

Yeah I've noticed that! So annoying. I wonder why it is?
I don't bother with CDs these days but I would've bought Lorde and HAIM's vinyls on release week, had they been released...

I ended up getting HAIM's 'Days Are Gone' last week in the end instead because I'd been meaning to get that for a while anyway.

Posted by: DalekTurret32 16th July 2017, 07:59 PM

The Weeknd's Beauty Behind The Madness, Skepta's Konnichiwa and Faith No More's Sol Invictus are some other examples.


Longest we had to wait in order for an album to get a vinyl release:
Ian Brown - Solarized (2004) [vinyl came out in April 2016 for Record Store Day]
Biffy Clyro - Only Revolutions (2009) [up until 2016 (which I guess was put out to make way for their then upcoming album Ellipsis), the only way to get a vinyl version of this album was if you bought a boxset of that album]
Boys Like Girls - S/T (2006) [tri-color vinyl and red vinyl issues came out in July 2016 to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the album]

Posted by: No Sleeep 17th July 2017, 12:02 AM

I really want to start collecting vinyl. I love the size of the artwork!

Posted by: Joe. 17th July 2017, 06:41 AM

Same, my two buying methods for albums are Spotfiy and vinyl. I feel like you get something worthy from a vinyl that you don't from a CD.

It's also not good for the record labels either. Artists like Lorde and Haim who's vinyl sales may have significant. Lorde probably would have charted a place higher! It'll probably effect Lana on Friday too, who is a big vinyl artist.

Posted by: DalekTurret32 24th July 2017, 01:28 AM

Recent additions:

Elton John - Sacrifice 7" (1989 press) (found in Animal Sanctuary charity shop)

Posted by: Cremey 24th July 2017, 06:56 PM

Pre-ordered Arcade Fire's 'Everything Now' so I can get priority tickets on Wednesday.
Love that you can get the artwork in different languages on their store 😍 I've gone for Chinese, far prefer it to the standard English one. I want them all though </3

Posted by: dandy* 25th July 2017, 09:37 PM

I very nearly went for the language edition too but was seduced by the night version with the opaque blue vinyl.

Posted by: travis 26th July 2017, 06:04 AM

I just recently started collecting vinyl! I've only got 3 albums so far, but I'm gonna be growing my collection over time~

Right now, I just have:
- Lana Del Rey - Born to Die
- Harry Styles - Harry Styles
- Weezer - Pinkerton



I'm hoping to get Madonna's COADF album, Britney's Glory album, Amy's Back to Black, Nirvana's Nevermind, as well as the rest of Lana's discography on vinyl. Obviously others as well, but these are my main wants atm.

Posted by: DalekTurret32 26th July 2017, 06:34 AM

Fun Fact: Confessions On A Dance Floor once got released in Europe on pink vinyl

Posted by: lewistgreen 26th July 2017, 09:58 AM

Travis, I very much recommend getting Amy Winehouse's Back to Black, it just sounds so good on vinyl!

Posted by: travis 26th July 2017, 09:43 PM

It was released here in the US on a pink vinyl, too! I actually have a record store near me holding a copy of it for me until I get paid Friday!



It's 100% going to be one of my next purchases! I bought the vinyl of it for a friend of mine a few years back as a gift and I've honestly wanted it ever since. Her music is PERFECT for vinyl!

Posted by: travis 28th July 2017, 07:04 PM

Just added 4 new albums to my collection!

Amy Winehouse - Back to Black
Lady Gaga - Joanne
Panic! At The Disco - Too Weird to Live, Too Rare to Die
Madonna - Madonna (an original pressing from 1983!!!)

Posted by: dandy* 30th July 2017, 12:29 AM

Can I take a moment to point out the irony of my order of the orange vinyl of Everything Now single being delayed by weeks to ship at the same time as the album!

I want everything next month, I need everything next month.

Posted by: DalekTurret32 30th July 2017, 08:47 AM

I have that Arcade Fire orange 12"

Posted by: DalekTurret32 2nd September 2017, 05:51 PM

What turntables does everyone have? I'm in the market for getting a new one, I've had a Crosley and a Bush one now but the sound quality/playback are awful so just wondering what others have or what they can recommend?

Posted by: Jay ☆ 25th September 2017, 02:03 PM

Mine is a https://www.amazon.co.uk/Pioneer-PL-30-K-Fully-Automatic-Turntable/dp/B00S8ESJIU/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1506347623&sr=8-1&keywords=pioneer+pl30 which I've had since last Christmas. It's served me well so far! There's a few negative reviews, but I've not experienced any problems.

I'm no expert when it comes to turntables though, so I opted for something that we deemed affordable (it's more expensive than the ones you've mentioned, but it's still deemed to be an "entry level" price). It does require an amplifier & speakers to be bought separately though, so overall it was a bit of an investment.

I was hoping to buy Lorde's 'Melodrama' on vinyl this month but I have no idea what's happening with the release date

Soooo I ended up getting Beyoncé - 'Lemonade' today! The factor that swayed me between that, Lana and Green Day was the limited edition yellow records *.*

Posted by: LewisTScream 12th October 2017, 06:35 PM

I've currently got 8th December for Lorde

Posted by: Jade-o-Lantern🎃 12th October 2017, 06:41 PM

Ahh thank you Lewis! I read a while back that it was coming in October but checked HMV recently and it just says 'coming soon', so that explains it.

Posted by: Jade 4th November 2017, 11:14 PM

I don't think I'm tempted by any of those Black Friday offers. I have already bought a vinyl in the form of 'Atlas' by FM-84 this month anyway! *.* He is a synthwave producer that I sent to BJSC last year. 500 copies were released a few months ago but I missed out so thankfully snatched one up during this second opportunity.

Posted by: Steve201 18th November 2017, 01:15 PM

First vinyl purchase in a year -

Now Christmas album (the original one from 1985). I've had it on cassette and grew up listening to it so to find it on vinyl is brillant - funny they've omitted Gary Glitter and added Chris Rea!

Posted by: DalekTurret32 21st November 2017, 04:31 PM

For Black Friday, I'm hoping to snag a 12" of Danger Mouse's Chase Me from one of my favourite films of the year Baby Driver. The Kills - Black Rooster 10" and U2's The Blackout 12" are some backup ideas in case my record store is no longer stocking the Chase Me vinyl.

Posted by: SantaDalek32 8th December 2017, 08:54 AM

Those alt-j and Jamie xx records are wonderful additions to your collection!

I received my Christmas presents from Bray a few days early, as we aren't going to be together on Christmas day and wanted to open them in front of each other. My main present from him is a limited edition Francis and the Lights - 'Farewell, Starlite!' vinyl! such a fantastic present, can't wait to give it a spin. <3 I think that's the third Jadakissnia BJSC artist that I own a record by now *.*

Posted by: ChristmasEve201 23rd December 2017, 10:16 PM

Is the Jamie xx album vinyl got anything special to it?

Posted by: Slade 25th December 2017, 06:45 PM

Mentioned this in the Lounge but I primarily ended up getting vinyl for Christmas! Aside from the aforementioned Francis record, I also got:

- Avril Lavigne - 'Let Go' (white vinyl)
- Avril Lavigne - 'Under My Skin' (red vinyl)
- Avril Lavigne - 'The Best Damn Thing' (pink vinyl)
- The Beatles - 'Magical Mystery Tour'
- Green Day - 'American Idiot'
- Lana Del Rey - 'Lust For Life'

The Avril records are absolutely https://www.instagram.com/p/BdH5mughFJD/?taken-by=jade_williams_97, I shall forever be a sucker for pretty coloured vinyl. I'm so impressed that my parents remembered me mentioning the release of these limited edition records back in summer! Three great albums on top of those as well. My Lana collection is just missing 'Honeymoon' now!

First records I've ever bought, I'm in love with them

Posted by: Jade 4th March 2018, 03:53 PM

Yay No Sleeep *.* welcome to the vinyl world! I would recommend anything but a Crosley record player, that was my first one and it often damaged some of my records, a shame when they look so aesthetically pleasing.

Anyway, I got a new record player today and it's absolutely beautiful



This is the first time I have ever had speakers with one as well so that has enhanced the listening experience too *.*

I haven't bought any records since 2017 but I'm thinking about getting 'Spice' off Amazon as I still have a £20 voucher to spend from Christmas!

Posted by: dandy* 4th March 2018, 04:13 PM

That's lovely Jade, good colour vinyl too!

I still haven't actually bought a turntable, despite buying a few vinyls to play on it when I do eventually get one.

Posted by: Steve201 4th March 2018, 09:02 PM

What a wonderful record player you got there!!

Posted by: DalekTurret32 5th March 2018, 10:30 PM

What's the red LP you have, Jade?

(I'm guessing Under My Skin from the X on the label)

Posted by: Jade 5th March 2018, 10:35 PM

Yay for you guys liking the record player too *.* it looks so nice against my white furniture!

That is indeed Avril's 'Under My Skin' record, Dalek! So in love with all of her coloured ones.

Posted by: Shaky Fan 5th April 2018, 08:20 PM

Just discovered this thread and great to see so many others buying the format. I grew up with records and still have most of them. Still like to buy the occasional new release and also fill in some gaps in my collection through discogs and a couple of local shops. Most recent purchases have been some of the Hits compilation series that was introduced as a rival to the Now series. Not too much on the Record Store Day list that I'm after apart from the first vinyl release in 24 years from Shakin' Stevens.

Posted by: Steve201 5th April 2018, 10:30 PM

What's Shaky releasing? Watch a Christmas 82 totp episode tonight where he performs Blue Christmas which was good.

Posted by: dandy* 6th April 2018, 01:51 AM

Why would anyone actually want this?

Posted by: Shaky Fan 7th April 2018, 10:57 AM

Red vinyl edition of his most recent album "Echoes of Our Times". Only 500 being pressed so fingers crossed that I find one!

Posted by: Steve201 7th April 2018, 02:58 PM

I've been getting into vinyl recently - my most recent purchase was the remastered 'Unknown Pleasures' vinyl by Joy Division, I had to get it for the incredible artwork alone *.*

Fingers crossed I can get my hands on the Mac DeMarco and Dermot Kennedy vinyls, I bought the original 12" of 'This Old Dog' from HMV at Christmas so having the demos too would be great. Also SUPER interested in the original Joy Division vinyls being released!!

meh I did not have you pegged as a Joy Division fan! Great taste!

Omg that said mdh first but leaving it as it’s amused me!

Went to a Sounds Of The Universe shop in Soho and I bought a copy of Django Django's Marble Skies on marbled vinyl

Posted by: DalekTurret32 21st April 2018, 03:27 PM

What I managed to get yesterday: David Bowie - Aladdin Sane (45th anniversary silver vinyl)
What I managed to get today:

Glass Animals - ZABA (not an exclusive item, but a reduced vinyl. 22.99 to 16.99)
Small Faces - Lazy Sunday (yellow 7")
Led Zeppelin - Rock & Roll (yellow 7")

Arrived at my local record shop at 8:30 this year (after going at about 10:30 last year and most stuff being snapped up) and waited in a queue for an hour, as so many people were there (yep even in Northampton ) and they only had one till as normal.

I got:

Fatboy Slim - Right Here, Right Now (CamelPhat Remix)
Hans Zimmer, Jacob Shea & David Fleming - Blue Planet II soundtrack (blue vinyl, of course!)
Max Richter - The Blue Notebooks (also blue vinyl )
Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds - It's A Beautiful World (monochrome vinyl)
Sigrid - Don't Kill My Vibe EP (red vinyl)

So a great little haul this year *.* in addition to these, I also bought Lorde - 'Melodrama' on vinyl as it's finally available at HMV and I had a 15% off voucher! Bank balance has taken a bit of a hit today so I might have to wait until my 21st birthday in August to purchase/receive any more but I'm more than satisfied with this lot in the meantime.

Posted by: Steve201 21st April 2018, 08:07 PM

Lucky you getting the red Sigrid vinyl!!

Posted by: Shaky Fan 21st April 2018, 08:25 PM

Got Shaky (2 copies - 1 to play, 1 backup)! And The Undertones 7" box set and The Waterfront 12". And on cassette I got AC/DC - Back In Black.

And 2 non RSD titles arrived in the post - Christy Moore - On The Road (3LP) and the new one from Chas & Dave.

I thought I'd post my Vinyl collection! I'd be interested to see your lists too!

My list looks pretty excessive (and I wouldn't like to work out how much all of this cost, lol) but in terms of storage it doesn't actually take up much space! I store all of the 12" records in two of these boxes: https://www.getinthemix.com/accessories/equipment-cases-bags/vinyl-record-storage/glorious-record-box-advanced-white-110.htm and half of one of them still has free space. The 7" singles don't take up much space either.

Unless otherwise stated, they're just ordinary black vinyl.
If I've not written a year next to a certain title, it means it came out in the same year that I bought it. (Btw I searched my email account to remember when I purchased some of these; my memory isn't that good! )

Those Lawson pic discs are pretty rare

Posted by: dandy* 4th May 2018, 10:12 PM

So annoyed with myself - I forgot about the re-release of O by Damien Rice earlier and the pre-order is already sold out

Posted by: DalekTurret32 16th May 2018, 03:27 PM

HMV will be hosting a special vinyl week from 8th June to 17th June.

Special releases include:
Liam Gallagher - As You Were (picture disc)
Siouxsie And The Banshees - Juju (gold vinyl)
The Proclaimers - Sunshine On Leith (green vinyl)
OST - Lock, Stock And Two Smoking Barrels (yellow w/ black splatter) [first vinyl release since 1998, where it was released as part of Simply Vinyl's S180 series. The Simply Vinyl release is being sold on Discogs for £139.40, so if you're a fan of both LSATSB and vinyl, this might be perfect for you)


All of these look great. Might either go for Liam or Siouxsie

Posted by: Jade 23rd May 2018, 06:02 PM

Bought Taylor Swift's '1989' today to celebrate finishing University and belatedly for my dissertation result. Her best album for sure

Posted by: Jester 23rd May 2018, 07:34 PM

I’ve been buying vinyl again since March using amazon bonus vouchers from work. Have got all my Britpop faves from the 90s and now working my way through more recent albums like the xx and Coldplay. Jake bugg coming this week!

Posted by: DalekTurret32 26th May 2018, 12:37 PM

Which Britpop albums do you have?

Posted by: DalekTurret32 26th May 2018, 12:48 PM

More releases confirmed for hmv vinyl week:

T-Rex - Tanx (pink etched vinyl)
Mamma Mia! Soundtrack (picture disc) [the only other vinyl release of this soundtrack was a 2017 Barnes & Noble exclusive. Copy of this B&N release has a Discogs price range from £31-£71)
OMD - History Of Modern (orange vinyl) [you might want to get this, OMD fans. It's limited to 500 copies and other existing vinyl releases of this cost a lot on Discogs]
Stereophonics - Best Of Stereophonics: Decade in the Sun (gold vinyl)
Def Leppard - Vault: Def Leppard's Greatest Hits 1980-1995 (clear vinyl)

Those last two have vinyl releases that have been out of print for a long time.

Edit: Very interesting. Might go for T-Rex or Stereophonics, (or OMD to some extent).

Posted by: dandy* 29th May 2018, 09:11 PM

Justified and Ancient!!!!!

I also approve of that “Justified & Ancient” purchase - it's on the playlist for the wedding I'm DJ'ing at later this year.

I haven't bought much vinyl lately, though I did 'pick up' DJ Koze's “Pick Up” on 12" over the summer!

Posted by: DalekTurret32 27th August 2018, 01:59 PM

Great song, even though the melody gets a bit repetitive after three minutes of it, it's still pretty soothing.

Posted by: Jade 23rd September 2018, 02:02 PM

Parachutes, what a choice! Still love that album

Posted by: DalekTurret32 23rd September 2018, 11:14 PM

I have This Is All Yours vinyl too. Red and blue wax
I own all of Arctic Monkeys' studio albums on CD and even went to see them perform live. Need to have one of their albums on vinyl too.
That Movin' Too Fast single. Great retro add!
Your Beatles vinyl look great.

• I have Abbey Road on CD, vinyl and cassette
• I too have Hard Day's Night and Help on vinyl
• Fun Fact: Even though Let It Be was technically their last studio album, Abbey Road's production was finished after that of LIB.

I was amazed when I found out Quentin Blake (the Roald Dahl book illustrator) illustrated the cover to that James Blake album.
Fun Fact: Video Killed The Radio Star was the first song to ever be played on MTV when it launched in 1981
I want an issue of Good Kid Maad City that has the vehicle on the cover
Ah, Definitely Maybe! I have that on CD and cassette. I have all of their studio albums on CD (minus Standing On The Shoulders Of Giants, which I have yet to get), a handful of CD singles and Be Here Now cassette. The only one I have on vinyl is a promo 12" of Stand By Me which I found in a FOPP store for £6 back in October 2016 (bought this along with a vinyl of Glass Animals' How To Be A Human Being)
(sees Spice record)
I will not sing, I will not sing, I will no--- IF YOU WANNA BE MY LOVER, YOU GOTTA GET WITH MY FRIENDS! MAKE IT LAST FOREVER, FRIENDSHIP NEVER ENDS!
Agree with you on I Feel Love being a classic.
The NOW albums I have on vinyl are 1, 2, 6 and 10.
I have xx vinyl too (All of their three studio albums so far)

Great video!

I purchased the original Now Christmas album from 1985 on vinyl last November. Does anyone know if it would have a different product number to the original because one song has been changed on it? The original had Gary Glitter Another Rock & Roll Christmas and this has, for obvious reasons been replaced with Chris Rea!

I got Kate Bush-Hounds Of Love today for Christmas! This is the first one in my collection that I didn’t already have on CD, though I did used to have it on my iPod.

Finally got round to posting a video of my coloured vinyl collection if any of you guys are interested!

Posted by: DalekTurret32 18th February 2019, 12:06 AM

I have that No Tourists violet vinyl and alt-J TIAY too. Great adds to a vinyl collection.
And it must be so cool to have that Brockhampton vinyl.
Vitalic sounds like one of those acts I might end up really liking, from hearing a snippet of their sound in the video.

Posted by: T Boy 27th February 2019, 10:50 AM

Went to HMV Cardiff today, a better selection than I usually find in Chester.

I got:

The Killers-Hot Fuss (there’s loads of these in Chester but it was on sale for £12.99)
P!nk-Try This (£5 off I think because the sleeve was a little bit knocked about)
Maroon 5-Songs About Jane (full price but I haven’t been able to find this ANYWHERE)

Posted by: Common Sense 27th February 2019, 11:37 AM

Wow love those coloured vinyls. The pink one and the red, white and green one.

Posted by: dandy* 27th February 2019, 12:50 PM

I'm waiting for my copy of Aimee Mann's 'Magnolia' soundtrack to arrive on coloured vinyl, there was an offer on Mondo where you could save the postage costs which seemed worthwhile given it's usually extortionate to receive a vinyl box set from the US! It was the first album I ever bought by her and kickstarted my love of her and her music, I'm really looking forward to it arriving

Posted by: DalekTurret32 16th March 2019, 11:47 AM

Recently managed to get:

Ex:Re - Ex:Re
Sleaford Mods - Eton Alive (blue vinyl)
Candy Says - Not Kings
Foals - Everything Not Saved Will Be Lost Part 1 (collector's edition boxset with violet vinyl of the album and etched 7" of Exits)

Got three new records yesterday!

Rosalía - El mal querer

Three very different records but all welcome additions!

Posted by: Jester 13th April 2019, 06:30 PM

I managed to get the Air - Surfing On A Rocket picture disc from RSD

Posted by: Jade 14th April 2019, 06:17 PM

I failed miserably on record store day to get a copy of the Robyn album

I went to Rough Trade East as we were in London for the concert and I had not anticipated the queues!


I did however manage to get a copy of The Chemical Brothers 'Dig Your Own Hole' on silver vinyl which is lovely - one of my all time favourite albums and covers too.

Posted by: Steve201 18th April 2019, 06:50 PM

Senses Working Overtime is a tune!!

Posted by: DalekTurret32 18th April 2019, 07:32 PM

Is your copy the 7" that has the fold-out cover that I saw on a GOZER'S DEN video about special vinyl cover designs back in 2016?

Posted by: Common Sense 18th April 2019, 08:12 PM

How much was? They're going for £39.95 on Ebay right now.

Posted by: DalekTurret32 18th April 2019, 11:27 PM

Got it for £14.99.
And also, don't go on eBay for those. I recommend Discogs for those types of releases

Posted by: troublepink 2nd May 2019, 02:01 PM

Finally got round to playing the Billy Connolly vinyls that my dad gave to me. They've been stored in the loft for years so wasn't sure how they'd play but so far so good.

This one was released in 1976 and cost £1.60!

Found myself walking out of Rough Trade with a copy of the Vampire Weekend album. Also got a copy of the Rufus Wainwright album 'Poses' last month after seeing him perform it in Birmingham.

Posted by: shaggyotis 6th May 2019, 09:29 PM

Ooh lovely to see a vinyl thread 👍 Anybody based in the Dorset area pop in and see me, I run Rosered Records in Boscombe, near Bournemouth 😊 Have amassed quite a collection over the years, my tastes are all over the place - been trying to find Solange's new album on vinyl but have been going through an 80's phase so have been filling in some Prefab Sprout and Style Council shaped gaps!

Posted by: dandy* 21st May 2019, 06:22 PM

Hmmmm I'm a bit worried that I'm being scammed somehow but I've just bought the Robyn album on eBay for £30 which seems too good to be true, there's thousands of positive feedback reviews though so I'm hoping for the best!

Posted by: dandy* 25th May 2019, 12:59 PM

And it’s arrived and genuine, still wrapped! I’m over the moon It was free postage too, feel I got a real bargain.


Also bought the deluxe of the National album. The colour of the yellow vinyl is gorgeous

Posted by: Bjork 25th May 2019, 02:53 PM

need to try to find that National album too

just bought Phoebe Bridgers - Stranger in the Alps, cannot wait for it to arrive

Posted by: dandy* 26th May 2019, 09:14 PM

I've been on a bit of an online spree today as I'm looking to get a few older favourites into my collection:

Suede - Suede (gold vinyl edition)
Tori Amos - Under the Pink (pink vinyl edition)
Amy Winehouse - Back To Black (white vinyl edition)
Madonna - Confessions on a Dance Floor (pink vinyl edition)
Madonna - Immaculate Collection
Kate Bush - Hounds of Love
David Bowie - Legacy

Plus pre-ordered the forever delayed Mezzanine box set from Massive Attack - fingers crossed it does actually materialise next month!

Posted by: dandy* 26th May 2019, 09:16 PM

Also - I really must actually buy a record player at some point!

Posted by: DalekTurret32 27th May 2019, 12:01 AM

Managed to add the 45th anniversary red vinyl edition of David Bowie's Diamond Dogs to my collection. Really good album, and I like the dystopian 1984 influence most of the songs carry.

Posted by: dandy* 29th May 2019, 09:16 AM

The blue vinyl edition of Lorde's Melodrama arrived this morning. That cover is just so beautiful.

Posted by: T Boy 29th May 2019, 03:22 PM

Went to Liverpool today and did a vinyl spree.

Arctic Monkeys-Humbug
Kate Bush-Never Forever
P!nk-M!ssundaztood

Posted by: Shaky Fan 31st May 2019, 07:26 PM

Anyone loking for the Kate Bush album box sets should try HMV - they had both reduced from £90 to £45 in the Belfast branch today.

Posted by: dandy* 31st May 2019, 09:38 PM

I finally succumbed and bought Chaleur Humaine today as they had the original French album on blue vinyl in Rough Trade.

(ps the Kate Bush price sounds a bargain! )

Posted by: Shaky Fan 2nd June 2019, 04:42 PM

Kate Bush is even cheaper on Amazon now!

Posted by: dandy* 2nd June 2019, 08:16 PM

Yes I noticed that too. Was going to buy but then I realised Th Dreaming and Hounds of Love are annoyingly not in the same set and they’re by far my two favourites of hers.

Posted by: Klaus 7th June 2019, 10:36 PM

I’m aiming to get my first ever vinyl with Melodrama as I see it is only £13 in HMV’s vinyl week! From pictures I see Babel is also only £10!

Never really thought I’d get into the vinyl phenomenon but I actually feel quite interested to some for albums I really LOVE if I can find them at decent prices.

Posted by: Jade 7th June 2019, 10:40 PM

A fabulous choice of first ever vinyl *.*

Posted by: Klaus 8th June 2019, 02:06 PM

Just bought them both, I’ve always loved both album covers and they look even more glorious in vinyl. Melodrama in particular is stunning

Posted by: Jester 8th June 2019, 04:16 PM

I bought 2 Doves albums today - so glad they are finally out on vinyl.

Posted by: dandy* 8th June 2019, 06:40 PM

Which two did you go for? Lost Souls and The Last Broadcast?

And Klaus, yes!!!! The cover of Melodrama really is absolutely stunning

Posted by: Jester 8th June 2019, 06:58 PM

Yep, 2 great albums.

Posted by: dandy* 12th June 2019, 08:38 PM

Yes, they're the two I went for also. I never really got into Some Cities, even though I thought Black and White Town was an excellent single.


I've succumbed and bought the clear vinyl of Madonna's new album, even though I suspect I may not end up liking it. Also got the vinyl of Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness as I saw it on eBay for £40 and it's by far the cheapest I've seen it recently.

Posted by: dandy* 13th June 2019, 09:28 AM

Oh so apparently the M C a t I S vinyl is likely to be a fake/bootleg! I had no idea buying vinyl could be such a minefield.

I've asked to cancel the order but not holding out much hope!

Posted by: Jester 13th June 2019, 05:27 PM

That’s a cracking album, shame if it’s s fake

Posted by: T Boy 29th June 2019, 03:44 PM

Picked up these 2 today.

The Killers-Sam’s Town
P!nk-Hurts 2B Human

Posted by: dandy* 29th June 2019, 03:54 PM

So I’ve now picked up a genuine copy of Mellon Collie, the reissue of the Stardust single (great memories of this track) and the Janet and Velvet Rope albums from Ms Jackson - 90s Janet was sooooo good

Posted by: dandy* 3rd July 2019, 09:23 PM

Bought Arctic Monkey’s ‘AM’ on vinyl today! Got 15% off too in HMV which was a bonus.

Posted by: Jade 11th July 2019, 09:07 AM

I haven't updated this in a while (also still need to post in the vinyl collection thread, will do eventually ) but off the top of my head I've bought the following in recent times:

Ariana Grande - Dangerous Woman
Ariana Grande - thank u, next
Billie Eilish - WHEN WE ALL FALL ASLEEP, WHERE DO WE GO?
Spandau Ballet - True
Taylor Swift - ME! (feat. Brendon Urie of Panic! At The Disco) - this single still hasn't arrived yet, will probably turn up next month
Whitney Houston - Whitney

The Spandau Ballet and Whitney records were purchased in a vintage shop! Everything else was from HMV except the limited edition Taylor 7", which I decided to purchase from her website at the time. There's a 12 week wait on it so my initial love for the song has passed but I do still look forward to it turning up!

Trying to avoid buying any records for the next month or so as it's my birthday in August and they're my most common presents usually!

Bargain!

I bought 8 of those back in the day...

Posted by: Cqmerqn 10th August 2019, 03:01 PM

Still looking ffs

Posted by: mdh 10th August 2019, 09:29 PM

No way?! Is this offer always on, I've never been to the Diskery cause at the arse end of the city centre but I'll have to pop by if this is still going.

Posted by: Jade 10th August 2019, 09:31 PM

Forgot to post this at the time - got James Blake - 'Assume Form' (dark green vinyl) and Spice Girls - 'Greatest Hits' (picture disc) for my birthday also ordered the 12" clear vinyl of Ariana Grande feat. Social House - 'boyfriend' the other night but that's not being shipped until December

Posted by: Peral-Turret32 11th August 2019, 08:15 AM

That Assume Form vinyl looks like a great add to your collection.

Posted by: dandy* 12th August 2019, 06:23 PM

I've accidentally added Blume by Nérija to my collection.

Apparently I ordered it online last week and I appear to have paid for it so thought I may as well pick it up from the shop.

Posted by: Steve201 13th August 2019, 05:16 PM

It'll sound great alongside Mariah and the likes

Posted by: Klaus 14th August 2019, 07:15 PM

I’ve just got Christine & the Queens - Chaleur Humaine (Clear Vinyl) which I’m very happy about. It comes with a CD too but I already have it on CD!

Aiming to get the 10th anniversary of Lungs this month too

Posted by: dandy* 15th August 2019, 05:30 PM

My copy of the 10th Anniversary deluxe has just been shipped!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *.*.*.*

Posted by: dandy* 23rd August 2019, 11:56 AM

So I just treated myself to the clothbound version of ‘O’.

Posted by: Steve201 23rd August 2019, 12:05 PM

Sorry if this is a stupid question but what's a clothbound edition?

Posted by: dandy* 23rd August 2019, 03:36 PM

Not at all! It’s just a version that comes in a book style format with a cloth cover like the original cd did before it became popular.

You can see one here: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Super-Rare-Damien-Rice-O-Deluxe-Vinyl-Limited-to-1000-Worldwide/123812506203?hash=item1cd3ccea5b:g:tHcAAOSwF~1cztkM

Posted by: dandy* 23rd August 2019, 03:39 PM

Ps I didn’t pay that much btw!!!

Posted by: Steve201 23rd August 2019, 04:10 PM

Oh cool, looks really nice actually, well worth whatever the investment was I would reckon.

Posted by: dandy* 23rd August 2019, 06:51 PM

I hope so! I'll never sell it mind, it's one of my favourite ever albums and I was gutted when I read the email announcing its release only to find it had already sold out.

Posted by: Steve201 23rd August 2019, 07:02 PM

A classic album for me too!

Posted by: Bjork 7th September 2019, 04:04 PM

glad you got the O deluxe! For me it's the #1 album in the history of music, I've bought it so many times, I've lost count, I think I have 5 or 6 CDs all slightly different (the Japanese version, the French one etc)... I got both the normal and the deluxe/cloth on release... crazy how high it ended up on eBay... if I knew, I could have bought a few even on tour last summer there were always some of the deluxe available and I could have bought some to sell later hahaha
incidentally, seeing Damien live this coming Friday in Cork, in what looks like his only gig this year! cannot wait

Posted by: Jade 7th September 2019, 04:52 PM

Got Lana's brand new album in lime green earlier in the week and also picked up 'Paradise' today! Just need 'Honeymoon' now to complete my Lana collection

Yay for adding the Oasis album to your collection Dalek - my brother bought a 25th anniversary picture disc I believe!

Posted by: Bjork 7th September 2019, 06:44 PM

I saw the 25th edition vinyl of Definitely Maybe today and was tempted to buy but was super expensive and had to pass :/ if only vinyls were cheaper... saw so many that I'd love to have today...

Posted by: Polly Planturret 7th September 2019, 08:54 PM

5/6 CDs of the same album? Unbelievable.
I came across a guy on Instagram who has at least 20 vinyl copies of Men At Work's album Business As Usual, and another one who has 16 different vinyl of David Bowie's Hunky Dory (including the 2017 gold vinyl pressing)






It's a great add to an ever-growing vinyl collection, Jade. I also have the album on CD and cassette, making it the 3rd album in my collection that I own on these three formats, next to Abbey Road and Sgt. Pepper's (both by The Beatles).

Posted by: dandy* 7th September 2019, 09:06 PM

Interesting to see what albums people have on the most formats...

Off the top of my head, I think mine is probably OK Computer as I've got it twice on CD formats and twice on vinyl formats.

Posted by: Bjork 8th September 2019, 12:11 PM

Just double-checked and "only" have 6 copies of O, 4 CDs and 2 vinyls but all different... even the "cloth" CD, there are slightly different versions...
I also got 3 copies of his last album My Favourite Faded Fantasy, the vinyl and 2 different CDs... one of the CDs comes in a limited wooden box that is super nice...

One album I bought many times was Tori Amos - Strange Little Girls cos she released 4 or 5 different album covers, didn't buy them all... but sure at least I got 3

Posted by: Bjork 15th September 2019, 02:45 PM

talking of O, when to see Damien live in Cork and they still sell the cloth version vinyl for just 75 euros...
so anyone could just buy 1 just for selling it 5 times more expensive on eBay

Posted by: dandy* 15th September 2019, 07:15 PM

You should have got another one!

Posted by: Common Sense 15th September 2019, 10:54 PM

Don't buy vinyl but notice O is mentioned a lot. Have never heard it or owned it. Maybe I should but re3ad reviews that say it's boring with no stand-out tracks.

Posted by: Bjork 16th September 2019, 11:08 AM

O sure has its highlights that everybody knows like Cannonball and The blowers daughter, also Delicate, which wasn't even a single and Volcano
they've been featured in lots of movies and tv shows, and of course Little Mix disastrously covered Cannonball

it's the opposite of boring and I'd say all 10 tracks are a 10/10 for me with no weak song
that said, it's not an album for everybody, this is not a collection of happy chippy chappy songs
but rather about f***ing up relationships and not knowing what to do with your life, which many of us can relate too
its classic singer-songwriter stuff, songs coming from the guts, real stuff not songs cowritten with Steve Mac or Ryan Tedder

Posted by: Jade 21st September 2019, 01:42 PM

Had a vinyl haul in my local independent record store Spun Out today *.*

I couldn't resist this:
- Lana Del Rey - Norman F***ing Rockwell (limited edition blue vinyl)

Then got a bunch of dance singles from the second hand house section:
- Basement Jaxx - Jump N' Shout
- Basement Jaxx - Oh My Gosh
- Chocolate Puma - I Wanna Be U
- Jean Jacques Smoothie - 2 People
- Room 5 - Make Luv (feat. Oliver Cheatham)

Posted by: Polly Planturret 21st September 2019, 11:03 PM

Those Basement Jaxx vinyl look like great adds to your collection.

Posted by: Jade 21st September 2019, 11:11 PM

I know right? the manager of the record store said he'd order in a 'The Singles' vinyl for me also, so I'll finally own that soon!

Posted by: Steve201 21st September 2019, 11:59 PM

2 People ❤️

Posted by: mdh 26th September 2019, 08:28 PM

Just listened to "O" since it gets mentioned so much in here, and I mean it's alright, just feels a bit sappy and melodramatic at times.

His voice sounds pretty much identical to Ed Sheeran's lol

Posted by: T Boy 28th September 2019, 04:50 PM

Got the following off my parents for my birthday!

Kate Bush-Aerial
Stereophonics-Just Enough Education To Perform

And I’ve been shopping today and completed my Arctic Monkeys collection with a Suck It And See.

Posted by: Bjork 4th October 2019, 08:56 AM

just read that David Gray is planning to release White Ladder for the first time ever on vinyl
that's great news, one of the best albums ever

---

David Gray
2020 marks the 20th anniversary of White Ladder's big breakthrough year. The moment when, propelled by the springboard of our Irish success, the record began to climb up the charts all over the world, going on to sell millions of copies and transforming each of our lives in the process. It was a remarkable time and a kind of fairytale story, a record that was made for next to nothing in my spare room, starting its humble life without even a whiff of a marketing budget, going on to conquer the world.
In the intervening years I’ve forged ahead making new music but just recently I’ve been talking to Clune about the idea of getting back together for some kind of White Ladder celebration. It just feels like the time is right and that the record is still as alive for people today as it ever was. So.....there will be a re-release of the full remastered album in various formats, including for the first time ever on vinyl, a deluxe package with demos and outtakes, and also a worldwide tour - all details below.
As I write this we are back in the rehearsal room putting the old sounds and the old songs back together in their original form. I’m delighted to report that the old music still retains its magic. Hopefully everyone who has connected with the record across the years will come along to share that magical feeling with us.
For more info visit Davidgray.com, and for first access to UK or Ireland tickets, head to the David Gray shop to pre-order White Ladder, purchase merch, or sign up with no purchase necessary for a presale code. Codes will be delivered on Tuesday, 8 Oct and will be active starting Wednesday, 9 Oct at 9am BST. For European shows, all tickets will go on sale Friday, 11 Oct at 10am CET.

9000 vinyl copies of the re-issue of Abbey Road by The Beatles were sold this week.

Posted by: T Boy 4th October 2019, 06:00 PM

I hope some other artists follow the trend of rereleasing on vinyl. I need some retro Dido!

Posted by: Bjork 5th October 2019, 07:02 AM

I've seen a red-black vinyl of No Angel on eBay but not sure if it's from back in the day or was released more recently

Posted by: Steve201 5th October 2019, 08:43 AM

It should really say in the description?

Posted by: T Boy 5th October 2019, 09:12 AM

I’ve seen some online but I think they’re from back in the days and are going for hundreds of pounds I don’t have!

Posted by: Jade 6th October 2019, 02:44 PM

I got 'Honeymoon' at the weekend so my Lana collection is complete now!

View this post on Instagram

I also own Basement Jaxx - 'The Singles' now and both records are coloured, so my record collection has peaked

Posted by: Common Sense 6th October 2019, 03:10 PM

Am surprised that White Ladder wasn't released on vinyl. I know Dido's debut was and think Life For Rent was too.

Posted by: DalekTethered32 10th October 2019, 12:22 PM

Goldfrapp's 'Black Cherry' becomes my first purple vinyl

Posted by: DalekTethered32 10th October 2019, 07:11 PM

Congrats to Jade for completing her LDR vinyl collection.

When there's a case of me owning all of an artist's studio albums, it's usually on CD or a mix of three formats (CD, vinyl and cassette). The main one that comes to mind in terms of vinyl is The xx.
I would also say Daughter and Glass Animals, but these bands have only put out two studio albums so far (the Music From Before The Storm album by the former is more of a video game soundtrack than a studio album). Foals and Nirvana come close.

Posted by: dandy* 12th October 2019, 10:05 AM

My copy of Angel Olsen’s ‘All Mirrors’ arrived today, it’s lovely

Also I’m delighted to have picked up a copy of the Understanding by Röyksopp and their Do It Again mini album with Robyn *.*

Posted by: Steve201 12th October 2019, 12:20 PM

Olsens album is fantastic - strange she's not overly loved on here as it's similar to Lana Del Rey

Posted by: dandy* 14th October 2019, 06:56 PM

Yep it's a great little album, all those strings! *.*

Posted by: Steve201 14th October 2019, 09:18 PM

It's wonderful stuff.

Posted by: Bloodjerdling 16th October 2019, 07:11 PM

Thanks Dalek! I also own all of The xx's albums, although that is a pretty easy collection to complete thankfully Next up, I want to complete my collection of studio albums by The Beatles. I think it's just 'With The Beatles', 'Beatles For Sale' and 'Yellow Submarine' to go. Not got any of their compilations on vinyl, but do have the Blue and Red albums on CD, so I get what you mean about cross-format collections!

Speaking of The Beatles, this singles collection on vinyl has just been announced:



I need it. My bank balance does not.

The other vinyl I'm eyeing up right now is Lady Gaga's limited edition 'The Fame' one, where 2000 blue records have been released. Going to try and get that one this week.

Posted by: dandy* 16th October 2019, 07:17 PM

I don't think I've got a complete collection from any artist. I suspect Bon Iver is the nearest as I'm only one away with that.


edit - that's not true actually, I've got all the Portishead albums and Beth's album with Rustin' Man also.

Posted by: DalekTethered32 16th October 2019, 10:45 PM

I'm wanting to complete my Beatles studio album collection too, I just have Please Please Me, Beatles For Sale, Rubber Soul and Let It Be left to collect (plus Magical Mystery Tour EP and Yellow Submarine soundtrack). I do have Revolver and The White Album but on CD, not vinyl.
Plus the 7" boxset looks amazing, but that price is too much for me.

Posted by: DalekTethered32 20th October 2019, 04:38 PM

My copy of Foals' Everything Not Saved Will Be Lost Part 2 on picture disc arrived. I'm glad to finally complete my ENSWBL boxset, even though I'm a little sad not to have received a download code for Part 2.

I also managed to get:

C Duncan - Architect
Captain Beefheart And His Magic Band - Ice Cream For Crow (Need to add Trout Mask Replica to my collection someday)
Tom Waits - Rain Dogs (first European pressing)

Posted by: Bjork 31st October 2019, 04:44 PM

finally bought the Boygenius EP, it's this collaboration indie super group between Phoebe Bridgers, Julien Baker and Lucy Dacus
Me and My dog from the EP is possibly my fav song of the year

Posted by: Bjork 22nd January 2020, 03:07 PM

Bon Iver is re-releasing the Blood Bank EP
but just checked and it's 20$ for the EP (not bad) but you have to add 30$ for shipment :/ so I didn't buy...50$ for an EP... too much

Posted by: dandy* 22nd January 2020, 05:43 PM

Talking of Bon Iver, I finally found a copy of the re-issue of For Emma with the alternate cover that didn't seem extortionately priced so I have that winging its way to me. I'll have all the Bon Iver albums now

Posted by: Bjork 23rd January 2020, 06:51 AM

Did you also order the new Blood bank EP?

I need to catch up on Bon Iver... I actually only have ForEmma on vinyl from back in the day
the 2nd album I bought it on CD, so need to get it on vinyl too
and have 22 A Million but need to get the last one

was asking in the other thread, where do you guys buy vinyls? cos my biggest issue is the price, here inDenmark where I live, vinyls are super price-y, like 30-40 euros, which is a lot... anyone knows somewhere to buy vinyl cheaper?

Posted by: dandy* 25th January 2020, 01:09 AM

I get mine from either Rough Trade, Vinyl Me Please, Soundofvinyl or the artists own pages. It's a pretty expensive hobby to be fair, it's difficult to pick up anything that's less than £20 on average.

I do use eBay and Discogs as well though for the older items in my collection.

(and no, I don't have the Blood Bank EP to answer your original question)

Posted by: Bjork 25th January 2020, 01:46 PM

when ordering online, problem is always shipping costs are crazy

Posted by: Jade 26th January 2020, 10:41 PM

Recent additions:

Ariana Grande - boyfriend (feat. Social House) [clear vinyl]
Ariana Grande - Don't Call Me Angel (feat. Miley Cyrus & Lana Del Rey) [picture disc]

Posted by: DalekTurret32 28th January 2020, 05:49 PM

You must be lucky to have these Ariana vinyl. Judging by the prices on Discogs, they look like collector's items.
That BBC vinyl is a good add to your collection, even though I didn't like it as much as its predecessor So Long, See You Tomorrow.

Posted by: dandy* 28th January 2020, 06:27 PM

I've ordered a few recently to add to my lot:

Caribou - Our Love
Weyes Blood - Titanic Rising (mint green)
M83 - DSVII (pink)
Hot Chip - A Bath Full of Ecstasy (clear)
Kosheen - Resist (yellow)
Moloko - Statues (blue)
Pulp - His n Hers (white)
Massive Attack - Massive Attack vs Mad Professor Part II (pink)


I've also pre-ordered the Blood Bank EP as the reissue looks nice.

Are there no vinyl stores near you in Denmark?

Posted by: Bjork 28th January 2020, 07:11 PM

yes we have lots of vinyl shops but prices are crazy, any new vinyl is like 30 pounds minimum

Posted by: Jade 28th January 2020, 08:08 PM

Yeah I'm so glad I snapped them up when I did! Saw someone charging £100 for the 'Don't Call Me Angel' one on eBay already

It was love at first listen with the Bombay Bicycle Club album I also got a free pin badge with the record so that was a nice touch!

I went to an amazing record store over Christmas called 'Raves from the Grave' in Frome. It had a huge variety of new and old vinyl, including singles going back as far as the 1950s. Anyway, upstairs there was a sofa and turntable with headphones where you could sit down with the records you'd picked out and give them a listen before you bought.

Anyway, I picked up the Squid EP (Town Centre) while I was there. : )

Posted by: dandy* 6th March 2020, 10:21 PM

PS as mentioned in the monthly thread in the Lounge... if anyone goes to record store day and can pick me up the Robyn vinyl then I will be eternally grateful!!!

Posted by: Cucumberella 6th March 2020, 11:14 PM

I'm starting to build a vinyl collection and these are some that I've bought:

Crystal Castles - Crystal Castles (II)

Sigrid - Sucker Punch (Picture Disc)
scarlxrd - IMMXRTALISATIXN

My recent additions:

King Gizzard And The Lizard Wizard - Fishing For Fishies (lilypad pressing)
King Gizzard And The Lizard Wizard - Infest The Rats' Nest (grey and red split vinyl)
Tame Impala - The Slow Rush (red and blue vinyl)



Record Store Day list looks very interesting. I'm excited for Black Honey, Caribou, Chemical Brothers, Comet Is Coming, David Bowie, The Doors, Eminem, Fleetwood Mac, Glass Animals, Mac DeMarco, Metronomy, Motorhead, New Order, Primal Scream, Spacemen 3, Supergrass and Tyler The Creator

Posted by: Jade 13th March 2020, 04:14 PM

Record Store Day is delayed to June because of Coronavirus!

Posted by: dandy* 13th March 2020, 07:20 PM

Yay!!!!

Posted by: Bré 13th March 2020, 07:37 PM

I'm kind of happy about it being delayed too as the timing of the original date wasn't great for me either. Here's hoping the date in June actually sticks, June is a lifetime away compared to the rapid progress of the pandemic so god knows what things will be like then ~

Posted by: dandy* 13th March 2020, 10:24 PM

The original date probably would have ended up being fine for me in the end given I imagine it's pretty unlikely I'll actually be going to Spain - the new one is Mr D*'s birthday so I now need to work on convincing him a great birthday would be spent queuing to get in a record store.

Posted by: Jade 15th March 2020, 04:16 PM

I'm glad too as that weekend was busy enough plans-wise anyway, although watch those get cancelled too now

I've now added:

Britney Spears - '...Baby One More Time' [pink & white swirl vinyl] (got it for a really good price on eBay)
Spice Girls - Spiceworld (popped into HMV yesterday)

First ever Britney vinyl but now my third Spice Girls one in addition to 'Spice' and the Greatest Hits picture disc, just 'Forever' left now when that comes out.

Posted by: dandy* 28th March 2020, 10:01 AM

Urban Outfitters is worth a look right now, they’ve got an extra 50% off anything in the sale and that includes some vinyl. Just ordered The Chemical Brothers ‘No Geography’ for just over £10 and that Tove Lo album for £4!!!

Posted by: Jester 28th March 2020, 10:25 AM

I must say one side benefit of WAH is I now have my record player in the room I’m using as an office. This means I am finally playing one record a day.

Posted by: dandy* 28th March 2020, 11:26 AM

Lovely! What have your choices been so far?

Posted by: ___∆___ 28th March 2020, 11:39 AM

Been playing lots of vinyl now I have the time, just upgraded my record player and have taken advantage of the HMV vinyl sale over the past week. Recent additions -

The Killers - Day & Age
The Killers - Direct Hits
Yungblud - The Underrated Youth
Sam Fender - Dead Boys EP
Jeff Buckley - Grace
Nirvana - Nevermind

Posted by: Jester 28th March 2020, 12:32 PM

Kylie - Light Years, Coldplay - Parachutes, Zero 7 - Simple Things, Pulp - Sisters EP and The xx - I See You.

Eclectic mix of albums.

Posted by: Jade 28th March 2020, 02:39 PM

My pink Dua Lipa 'Future Nostalgia' vinyl arrived today + I ordered The Weeknd's 'After Hours' in white and red splattered colours the other day!

Shall trawl through the HMV website a bit later, would be rude not to when it's just been payday

Posted by: ___∆___ 28th March 2020, 03:16 PM

The HMV site has been playing up since everyone seems to have realized it’s the only place to get physicals atm They have some great vinyl deals I picked some up for £8-10.

Posted by: dandy* 28th March 2020, 06:40 PM

Gutted that I didn't spot the HMV sale earlier, I'd have definitely snapped up the 20th Anniversary Edition of 'Surrender' by the Chemical Brothers and OMD's Souvenir singles collection was comparatively cheap there too. Both sold out now though!

Posted by: ___∆___ 28th March 2020, 09:41 PM

I put email alerts on some of the items I wanted that were out of stock and I got an email letting me know when they had restocked so worth a try.

Posted by: dandy* 28th March 2020, 11:38 PM

Thanks for the tip - I've tried it now... fingers crossed!


I have just bought the blue version of The Fame though seeing as it's reduced, topped it up with a James Blake EP to get free postage

Posted by: Shaky Fan 29th March 2020, 11:41 AM

Just ordered Paul Heaton's Last King of Pop album from Amazon for a decent £21.95. Just a pity that the expected delivery date is the end of April.

Other recent purchases

Bill Whelan - Riverdance 25
Boomtown Rats - Citizens of Boomtown (Gold Vinyl)
Boomtown Rates - A Tonic For The Troops

Posted by: ___∆___ 30th March 2020, 12:31 PM

I need to step away from online vinyl sales Just ordered Rihanna’s Music Of The Sun and Rated R for £10.99 each from Beyond Vinyl’s sale (They have lots of other cool sale vinyl for Blur, Gorillaz etc.,)

I’m going on a vinyl ban now

Posted by: dandy* 30th March 2020, 08:56 PM

I need to step away from your posts!!!

(I just ordered 3 things from there!)

Posted by: ___∆___ 1st April 2020, 10:19 AM

Also HMV have just done a huge vinyl sale restock - I just got loads of email alerts for items I wanted that were sold out

Posted by: Jester 1st April 2020, 04:35 PM

Ive been on a vinyl buying spree! (some long Amazon delivery dates though):

Friendly Fires - PALA

Posted by: dandy* 1st April 2020, 06:46 PM

I got the emails also, I clicked immediately on them to discover they were out of stock already/still!

Posted by: Popchartfreak 2nd April 2020, 08:30 AM

50th anniversary this year of my first Xmas present vinyl album (This Is Glen Campbell) and the most recent Xmas vinyl album xmas present from my brother & partner is Awesome Mix Vol 1 (Guardians Of The Galaxy), while I picked up a 2nd hand copy of Bobbie Gentry's Way Down South, cult dark-country act of 1967-1973...and then that was it, she retired pretty much. She had a side career doing hit cover duets with Glen Campbell. I love it when links are circular.......

Posted by: dandy* 3rd April 2020, 10:30 PM

I got bored today and ordered two Alanis albums, SFIJ and Under Rug Swept as a shop on Discogs had the limited versions both quite cheap

Posted by: dandy* 4th April 2020, 12:35 PM

If anyone is collecting the Doves re-issues, 'Some Cities' is currently only £12.99 on Sound of Vinyl

Posted by: dandy* 8th April 2020, 11:47 AM

Hurrah I got the Chemical Brothers boxset from the HMV sale, so so happy!

So my HMV order arrived today so I can add the following:

Scissor Sisters-Ta Dah!
Paloma Faith-Do You Want The Truth Or Something Beautiful?

Posted by: RabbitFurCoat 18th April 2020, 11:48 AM

Whilst I've wanted a record player for a while it wasn't something I'd ever indulged in as I figured buying vinyl would quickly become an expensive hobby I can't justify.

However I used the bandcamp deal a couple of weeks ago to make a couple of purchases and then ordered a couple more since to start a collection. Two of current faves and two others that I've played huge amounts of in the last 2-3 years. Think I'll keep the collection going and mainly to these type of smaller acts that need the support most. They do all look amazing. Could do with something to play them on now.

Posted by: jszmiles 18th April 2020, 03:03 PM

fantastic choices there

I bought only Dua and Cranberries vinyl lately. Not in mood actually for any shopping activity lately

Posted by: ___∆___ 18th April 2020, 08:33 PM

You can pick up record players for decent prices now - I have this one from HMV https://store.hmv.com/store/technology/turntables/jam-sound-turntable-(hmv-exclusive)

Posted by: Doctor Blind 18th April 2020, 08:40 PM

I do have a record player and it is quite fun to put a record on every now and then (see below), I've been having it on at the start of my Working From Home night shifts so I don't keep others up. If you don't end up getting one however I'd definitely recommend getting a frame to display your records on the wall. You can rotate them as and when you see fit! : )

Posted by: ___∆___ 20th April 2020, 08:24 AM

One of my favourite recent records to listen to on vinyl is Sam Fender, there are certain artists that just sound so much better on wax!

His website have reduced the vinyl and Amazon have price matched - £13.94 https://www.amazon.co.uk/Hypersonic-Missiles-VINYL-Sam-Fender/dp/B07QRPGY4G/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=sam+fender+vinyl&qid=1587369748&sprefix=sam+fend&sr=8-1

Posted by: Bjork 20th April 2020, 10:04 AM

I think it depends on how the album was recorded... if it was recorded digitally back in the day and now they make a vinyl, it's gonna sound like the CD... but if the album is taped with analog technology and directly into vinyl, it definitely sounds better cos the sound tends to be warm and has more texture... I always same the same but for me the most extreme experienced on vinyl is listening to Damien Rice - My favourite faded fantasy, especially Colour Me In, it always feel like he's there next to me, doesn't sound like a CD.

Posted by: ___∆___ 21st April 2020, 10:26 AM

From recordstore.co.uk, I managed to get Straight Outta Compton by NWA when it was their "deal of the day" for 7.99, and I also pre-ordered the upcoming Jamie xx 12". Already have the former in my collection, can't wait to receive the latter.

Posted by: Jade 🐠 22nd April 2020, 05:14 PM

Omg thanks ___∆___ for sharing the code! Just bought Rina Sawayama's 'SAWAYAMA' album on gold vinyl using that

Also decided to pre-order Fiona Apple's 'Fetch The Bolt Cutters' album on vinyl on Rough Trade UK. Apparently supposed to be out in June.

-stops buying stuff until at least pay day next week now-

Posted by: Steve201 22nd April 2020, 09:49 PM

Anyone else been listening to their records a lot more in lockdown?

Posted by: Jade 🐠 22nd April 2020, 10:20 PM

Yep, I have more time in the mornings right now where my walk to work has been eliminated so I have been starting each day with as much of a record as I can fit in. Today it was The Beatles' self-titled release aka 'The White Album' *.*

Posted by: ___∆___ 25th April 2020, 12:16 PM

Never really used Record Store before but impressed with all my recent purchases - they all arrived yesterday and today, all the vinyls were well packed and perfect

Posted by: ___∆___ 25th April 2020, 12:17 PM

Yes a lot more - have also been buying more and using the downtime to build up my collection.

Posted by: Bjork 25th April 2020, 01:24 PM

I find it difficult to listen to vinyls and work, cos you have to get up and change sides all the time
if I'm focused working time flies and I don't realise and I already need to switch sides

Posted by: Steve201 25th April 2020, 06:43 PM

I tend to listen to one each day normally in the afternoon.

Usually start still listen to my on the go list I would on the commute as it makes up my personal chart then Ken Bruce for his Pop Quiz which I'm not bad at but if I did go on it I'd get a load of questions I wouldn't know guaranteed.

Then a record after lunch!

Posted by: dandy* 25th April 2020, 09:26 PM

I went on a bit of an online spree week before last and they're all starting to arrive now. So far I've received:

Oasis - What's the Story Morning Glory on white vinyl after all the Oasis chat in pre-2000s
The Verve - Urban Hymns on green
Courteeners - More. Again. Forever. on a nice pop up version from HMV
Georgia - Seeking Thrills on red
Ariana Grande - Thank U Next on pink and clear

Hot Chip - A Bath Full of Ecstasy on a limited orange and teal that was also signed so a cool surprise
Ben Howard - Every Kingdom
Why? - Alopecia on a weird and very bright tri-colour version
Gil Scott-Heron - I'm New Here on a perfectly matched green and pink to fit the logo, it's the little details!
Zola Jesus - Okovi on copper
Jens Lekman - Life Will See You Now on orange
Mr Scruff - Keep It Unreal on green

Plus a few others that I'd never even heard of but the vinyl looked pretty

Posted by: Jade 🐠 25th April 2020, 09:47 PM

I'm jealous of the 'thank u, next' one! I do have peach 'sweetener' though and it's incredibly pretty

Posted by: Bjork 26th April 2020, 08:56 AM

wow that's a shopping spree
I also need to get David Gray - White ladder vinyl
is that the 2020 edition?

Posted by: dandy* 26th April 2020, 09:33 AM

Yes it is, I think that’s the only time it’s been released on vinyl. Toyed with the deluxe but couldn’t really justify it.

Posted by: Bjork 26th April 2020, 10:00 AM

just checked the deluxe version of White ladder and that's crazy expensive, almost 100 Euros, think Im gonna go with the normal vinyl, nice that it's white

Posted by: dandy* 26th April 2020, 12:36 PM

Yes it’s nice that it matched the title

And Jade yes the peach Ariana is lovely! I wouldn’t normally have gone for that album, although I do like about half of it, but the colour ensnared me!

Posted by: ___∆___ 27th April 2020, 09:05 AM

My vinyl protection sleeves arrived today from HMV to protect all that wax I’ve been investing in! I’ve tried so many different ones and none beat the ones HMV sell (Guessing that’s why they sell out as soon as they restock them too).

Posted by: Jade 🐠 27th April 2020, 05:42 PM

Went a bit mad as it's pay day but I'll have a break for a while now got:

Ariana Grande - break up with your girlfriend, i'm bored (clear vinyl)
Britney Spears - Oops!... I Did It Again (purple swirl vinyl)
Fiona Apple - Tidal
Lady Gaga - Born This Way

Posted by: ___∆___ 29th April 2020, 12:51 PM

I've succumbed and ordered the Fiona Apple album from Vinyl Me Please. They suck me in every time.

Posted by: Jade 🐠 1st May 2020, 10:33 PM

Just done the same Dandy I already had the standard on pre-order (for half the price stupid shipping prices) but couldn't resist the purple lol - going to cancel that pre-order of the standard! Fans have asked for her other albums to be pressed (I know 'Tidal' already has) and they hinted that they're coming, yay <3

Also, I have Now 1 - 10 on vinyl (and 16 randomly) and I've finally decided to continue that collection after about 5 years, snapped up Now 11 for £3.35 on eBay *.*

Posted by: dandy* 1st May 2020, 10:38 PM

Oooops sorry Jade if I've just prompted you to spend!!!

Although it'll probably be worth it, their vinyl is always so pretty. They always get the colours just right for the release


(I really want their version of The National's High Violet but that is just ridiculously priced so I'm sticking to the UK version)

Posted by: Jade 🐠 1st May 2020, 10:44 PM

You may have done but that vinyl is gorgeous so no regrets

Posted by: ___∆___ 2nd May 2020, 09:05 AM

My Rina Sawayama vinyl arrived today I managed to get the limited edition green vinyl which was limited to 500 copies - I love it when artists release actual limited editions rather than claiming something is and then making 25,000 copies!

Posted by: dandy* 2nd May 2020, 11:02 AM

Yes it can be frustrating when the ‘limited edition’ tag is used for things that clearly aren’t that limited. Glad you got one though, so often they’re snapped up by people just wanting to sell on for a profit and it’s nice to hear when they actually go to music fans.

Posted by: Jade 6th May 2020, 04:14 PM

Got:

- Kylie Minogue - Step Back In Time: The Definitive Collection [mint green vinyl] - been interested in this one for a while, thanks to the Kylie AF for giving me a heads up about the slight price reduction on Amazon as that was enough of an incentive! Mint green is my favourite colour <3
- Fiona Apple - When The Pawn... - finally released on vinyl today on VinylMePlease so Fiona took my money once again

Posted by: dandy* 6th May 2020, 07:05 PM

Wow that Fiona album is expensive for a single sleeve vinyl.

I'm probably going to end up buying it regardless but it's put me off immediately purchasing. Or at least wait until there's something else I want to make the postage costs more reasonable.

Posted by: ___∆___ 8th May 2020, 10:17 PM

I've joined Vinyl Me Please for 3 months so I could get the Stevie Nicks album plus also get Fiona Apple's 'When The Pawn...' at the discounted price - turns out you get free shipping when you're a member so it's not such a bad deal, especially as I often like their versions of vinyl.

Posted by: Jester 4th June 2020, 04:57 PM

Finally got one of my vinyl grails today - Air France’s No Way Down. I’ve been covering this for ages as it’s one of my favourite albums, but there are so few around. Got it from the US after an eBay budding war for £100. So chuffed!

Posted by: T Boy 4th June 2020, 07:29 PM

Got It Won’t Be Soon Before Long the other day and I’ve just ordered Torches by Foster The People from HMV.

Received Torches by Foster The People this week and I’ve just ordered Jack Garratt’s Love, Death and Dancing on coloured vinyl.
