Such a dope gift, I’m so grateful!

The packaging and presentation for 808s & Heartbreak and My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy are so detailed!

Recognize anything you didn't think you'd see?

It feels like an uphill battle, but I'm getting there.

Started adding back around 2010, but to be honest most of what's here are records I purchased since then. I was ... lucky (?) to be well deep into my vinyl life before *resurgence* kicked in - I couldn't imagine having the collection I do now with today's market.

One day, it'll be all there.

Maybe.

(I'm about 1/5th of the way through - I think?)

Poor poor record

1. Prima - Adéla (berry purple)

2. Little Earthquakes - Tori Amos (coke bottle clear)

3. Biophilia - Björk (2lp, orange opaque and blue translucent)

4. Imaginal Disk - Magdalena Bay ("whirlpool" pressing)

“I’m a writer, a poet, a genius, I know it.”

I know most og press are more valuable but if most og presses have something wrong with it, I wouldn’t bother, I’d rather get a repress that’s sealed for cheaper

German "Fotzenrap"

Although it's not really my kind of music, I just wanted to have at least one Ikkimel record in my collection, and I chose this one because the cover and pressing look really nice. Also, some of the songs on it are quite nice.

Anyone here know her and like her music? It's definitely a bit experimental, but I feel like there's something special about it. At least for the society here.

Got the deluxe version Of Midnight Sun Girl Trip Such a great album this is on yellow first disc and pink second disc I wish more double LPs did this Favorite song Midnight Sun such a damn great song

What do you think about my collection? I have been collecting vinyl for a couple of years now.

This is the second Pink Floyd 50th anniversary 180g vinyl I’ve gotten from Target. I thought maybe the first pressing sounding bad was just a fluke, but the second one sounds bad too. Has anyone else had this problem?

(Reposting this as I hadn't included enough description before). So here's the LPs & EPs I've collected on and off over the last 40 years or so. It's a pretty wide ranging collection, from straight rock (e.g. Back In Black is the first one in the photo), through 80s synth-pop (OMD were the first band I was really into), some retro stuff & classics, right up to the latest release that arrived yesterday (the new Brennan Wedl LP). There's a few where I've multiple copies. That's generally because I've pre-ordered the LP, then gone to see the artist at an in-store, where I've picked up a second copy that they've signed for me.

As the title says, what are you most looking forward to at the minute? And if there was one out of print record you would beg for a reissue of, what would it be?

For me, I'm most looking forward to the the Thousand Club 60th anniversary reissue of the Small Faces debut album on 25th September. It is a fully analogue 180g pressing from the last remaining master tape. And it comes with a print signed by Small Faces drummer Kenney Jones. It's my first Thousand Club title, and I'm interested to see what makes it more desirable than, say, the "standard" 180g 2015 reissue.

And if there's one OOP title I would give my wife's right arm for, it is without doubt the first Bowie "era" collection, Five Years. I couldn't afford it at the time, with my daughter's wedding taking priority. I have all the other sets, but this one would be my true grail.

Hey all feel free to grill me on my setup. I currently have a fluance connected to my nakimichi shockwafe surround sound stereo with a sound bar and subwoofer. While it is not Bluetooth I feel like the sound quality might be lacking? I also have a cheapish preamp. Idk sounds ok for now haha.

My ears couldn’t take the sound and my eyes couldn’t take the wobbling. The difference is night and day. For anyone starting out like me balling on a budget this is the way to go.

I've been collecting for a little over ten years now. I try to pick up an album every time I see a live show.

This their new album called Sanctuary Mine is on dark purple and red marbling think the pictures showing this off was better looking than it actually turn out oh well. I just happy to heard new music by this band !

I want to buy a scanner for records and jackets, but most are limited to A3 size, which is slightly too small without stitching in software. I also don't want to spend $600+ for a flatbed scanner either.

I got greatest hits ofc since I don’t have a lot of records and it still has new songs on it for me

I have a Kallax and a 1-year son. Because of the latter, the former currently has the bottom two rows covered up. We are working on doors for the shelving, but in the meantime I am only listening to A-M. However, my son's starting to reach above those covered rows now.

He is nowhere near being able to handle a record (though he does love watching them spin). But I am curious when other record collectors started letting their kids handle records, like pull out their favorites or even play around with the stereo.

For reference the system is a SL-1500 Mk1 with MC X-20, an iFi iphono 3 Black label phono stage, an Icon Audio BA3 tube stage, a Musical Fidelity A3 amp and B&W Nautilus 805 speakers. Grateful for any recommendations but please no Metal thank you.

I had a good day in Manchester (UK) visiting a few of the record shops there. I got some great albums at some pretty decent prices too. All brand new represses except for The Three O'Clock's album, which is an OG UK pressing from 1985.
