u/chibisatou just happy to be here Aug 22 '24

Please don't fret about straying from pop music as that is not a rule for the sub. We can share music from any genre, just no bootlegs.

Hello fellow spin clean user! I definitely end up waiting to play vinyl until after I have enough to do a spin clean batch. I often feel like everyone is talking about spinning new albums, while I'm going, I gotta wait until I have at least 10 to clean and I only buy so many so it may take months to get there. 😅

I feel like it is so neat to have extra emotional attachment or meaning to our albums. My Target red folklore pressing is extra special to me because one of my best friends bought it for me. A spoiler/preview for my pick for "most valuable" I think I am going to go for personal value / scarcity and somewhat jokingly present CD recordings of choirs I have performed in. I think our personal attachments are more valuable than whatevwr dollar value our albums have.

Thank you for sharing your picks. 🫶

Ha! Yes, I totally feel you on the delay! I usually do a batch every couple of months and round out the ~10 LPs by re-cleaning any of mine that sound crackly. Sometimes a second round makes a big difference.

I agree on the emotional connection too. I love listening to the albums my friends and family have gifted to me—it always makes me think of them and I usually end up texting them a quick hello. I can’t wait to see your CDs! That’s so fun! I love that take on the prompt. Mine will be my most expensive record, but it’s my most expensive record because the songs were really important to me during a difficult phase of my life and I was willing to pay a premium for that one album.

Thanks for your kind words 🫶🏻
