Cripes...once again, it's been so friggin' long since I posted in here, I could not even begin to remember all that I've grabbed and added to my vinyl collection

Trog and ULT how much vinyl do you have in your collection? & Do you prefer vinyl over CD's?

I'm nearing the 1000 mark with my vinyl collection and I have been on about a two year binge of vinyl buying with little to no new cd's except when necessary. I have been meandering back into the cd waters lately though...

Vinyl is more fun to collect for me, but I don't necessarily prefer one medium over the other. They both have their pros and cons.

I used to have close 800 vinyl albums, and when I started buying CD's, if I replaced a vinyl copy with the CD I usually just gave the LP away, now part of me regrets doing this, but I prefer CD's.

Plus in my teens and 20's I moved around so much I got tired of lugging those records around.

I don't know how many I have. I'll have to count them. Most of my collection is listed on page 1 of this thread.

I like both CDs and vinyl. There's something "special" about collecting vinyl though. Nostalgia perhaps.

I "really" wanted to buy Witchcraft's The Alchemist on vinyl today (I have the CD, but the album was recorded entirely in analog so the vinyl would be the way to go)...however, it's an import and $24.99 for an album I already own was just too much.

NEVER!!! Multiple overpriced copies are one of life's most basic pleasures!

Nice. Is the AoB the black vinyl or the splatter?

Ground Zero

That is a great find, I still have my Ground Zero cassette and Big Guns is an awesome track!

YNGWIE J. MALMSTEEN - Trilogy

for the Trogster:
YNGWIE MALMSTEEN'S RISING FORCE - Marching Out

A friend from church game me a big box of vinyl that he didn't want. Unfortunately they were stored upright in a hot garage for years. Many of the records are completely ruined because they are warped. An entire Iron Maiden collection is warped very bad. I also saw Rob Rock's M.A.R.S. project in the box, but it too was wasted. (Anyone know some way to flatten out a record?)

However, a few were still in good shape with only a slight warp or no warp at all.

Here's a few I pulled out that seem to be in good, playable condition:
Metallica - Garage Days Re-Visited $5.98 EP
Judas Priest - Ram It Down
MSG - One Night At Budakon
W.A.S.P. - Headless Children
YES - 90125
YES - Big Generator
Cinderella - Long Cold Winter

I'll post more as I go through the box and see what's salvageable.

One of my friends told me he got a German vinyl pressing of King's X Ogre Tones at a used shop here in Austin a couple weeks ago.

I'M JEALOUS!!!!!

That would be cool to have.

Started going through the box. Found a few more that are ok.
LED ZEPPELIN - II a little warped, but plays ok and is in otherwise good shape.
JEFF BECK - Blow By Blow -almost perfect. Only a very slight warp that I couldn't see until I put the wax on the turntable
JOE SATRIANI - Not of this Earth still had the shrink wrap on it. Near perfect.
SKID ROW - s/t (near mint shape /w lyrics sleeve)
