Do you have any vinyl records?
 

I have a box full of albums in my basement. Most of which were purchased in the late 70s and 80s.
Strange thing is, I also have a brand new, factory sealed Dual turntable. I bought it just before my tour with Nato so I left it in storage. By the time I got back 4 years later, CDs had taken over.

I wonder if I'll ever play those albums again. :scratchin

A bunch. In the garage.

My question isn't will I play them ever again, but will they ever play again? :(

How old are you Evil Chris? :waving: LMAO!!!!

I counted once when I was moving, over 3,000 LPs and 12" singles and over 5,000 45s.

I don't but a friend of my sisters has a 20x20 room that is wall to wall nothing but vinyl albums. :blink: :huh:

Re: Do you have any vinyl records?
 

That's nuts too. :o

Re: Do you have any vinyl records?
 

I have over 5,000 records, and I buy at least 5-10 new ones each week...

I had a huge box of them and some real classics from the 50's and 60's I inherited when a cousin passed away. But being the dumb kid I was, I put them in an attic in the early 80's. Not something you want to do in the summer heat of ATL :(

i made that mistake this past summer (again), i had about 50 records in a crate...and after a long night out djing at a club i decided I didn't need to bring them in cause I was tired....i woke the next morning, went to my truck, and had a bunch of wobbly frisbees

Re: Do you have any vinyl records?
 

Ouch on the "heat" stories.

I still have a couple of boxes of LPs. I have nothing to play them on and replaced a lot of them with the CDs (after replacing some of them with cassettes during that annoying interim) but I can't bring myself to make the final heave ho.

I should probably sit down with them and make a list of the ones I don't have on CD and would love to have.

well, if you ever decide that you don't have the heart to throw them out, but want them to a good home....i will pay for shipping and take them off your hands...you can ship media mail pretty cheap, i think i did 200 records for $30 or so

hehe, just a thought

and that goes for anyone else that has old records....

;)

Re: Do you have any vinyl records?
 

EBAY! :)

Re: Do you have any vinyl records?
 

So are they completely ruined? If the heat is dry, they should be ok.

When I was a kid, we lost a box of lps due to humidity.

Re: Do you have any vinyl records?
 

You know, that *is* a thought. I hope I have things that you'd like. I'll go through them with my husband and make a list. Honestly, I'd much rather they went to a good home. :)

Some things become old friends....

Re: Do you have any vinyl records?
 

Ebay and I are old friends. :) I recently went on a dvd buying binge. I found a really cool store that gave breaks on the shipping and got just a tad carried away.

Re: Do you have any vinyl records?
 

I had a ton of albums from the 60's & 70's. My ex husband kept them along with everything else.

Re: Do you have any vinyl records?
 

My husband is still irked that his mother threw out his baseball cards and comic books.

Re: Do you have any vinyl records?
 

i pretty much love everything but classical and new style country

i love everything from old country western to punk, from disco to bluegrass

let me know, if you actually want to sell them, i would be up for a bulk sale for sure, those are the best things in the world! haha

Re: Do you have any vinyl records?
 

You can iron them, ya know ? :blink:

Re: Do you have any vinyl records?
 

I have a couple of thousand LPs on Vinyl and a working turntable and I use both :)

Used to have a shitload more albums but the Navy managed to lose them in the final move back home. :(

Re: Do you have any vinyl records?
 

if you dont want them anymore... EBAY will

Re: Do you have any vinyl records?
 

actually, i prefer the microwave...but yeah, they are all flat now

Re: Do you have any vinyl records?
 

Well Dad and I both love 70s and 80s music.

Re: Do you have any vinyl records?
 

Oh that sucks, and I've heard many similar stories over the years.

Thankfully my Mom kept all of mine and I have them now. Mostly hockey cards from the 60s.

Re: Do you have any vinyl records?
 

There is no such thing as dry heat in ATL ;) They were so warped they were virtually melted. This was also 20 or so years ago. They are long gone by now :( Great albums too - all the Beatles, Pink Floyd, Rolling Stones, The Who, etc.

Re: Do you have any vinyl records?
 

I know of a couple of powersellers that make a living selling vinyl. If you decide you want to sell them, Morg, gimme a shout.
