The vinyl collecting thread...

good call Ult
was gonna mention the same idea

So my days in CA are almost over, and unfortunately I haven't picked up any vinyl (plenty of awesome and rare CDs though!). One store had a copy of Barren Cross' Atomic Arena on vinyl, but I didn't think it was worth 10 bucks. I'll post a full list of my new CDs when I'm back home in Hollanda (like Trouble - s/t first press and a weird slimline, English label version of Restless & Wild).

Yes. Trog picked up the Captain Beyond for me.

Nice scores Scott. My buddy has that Witchfinder General on clear vinyl too, that's one bad ass doom record!

Niiiiiiice

My friend gave me these for my high school graduation:

Fates Warning - The Spectre Within (Dutch pressing)
Leatherwolf - s/t (German pressing)
Toto - IV (Dutch pressing)

Nice! I'll bet you have been dying to send that Fates Warning record to me, huh?

Ha! Fat chance my friend.

Unfortunately my phone is screwing with my, otherwise I'd show you guys a pic of some of my favorite vinyls.

That's funny. I take photos with a camera.

Hey, if I have to buy a camera I can't spend that money on records. That's why I just use my crappy cell.

Indeed, very lucky

They had other ones, but the early 70's albums were more and pretty damn banged up for me to feel anywhere close to comfortable with the price.

Those early 80's new wave Alice albums are some of the few vinyl releases I have held on to.

MOLLY HATCHET - Live/Beatin' the Odds
This copy has some water damage to the cover, but the vinyl is mint. A 2-LP set that includes the live album that was only released as a promo in this collection, and the full Beatin' the Odds LP w/ picture sleeve. Gatefold cover.


AEROSMITH - Live Bootleg (alternative cover)
The vinyl isn't in great shape, but since I've never seen this cover before, I don't really care. I'll find a regular version with better vinyl and swap them out. BTW, the photo is not sideways, this is how it actually looks on this LP version. Notice the "wings" logo. Gatefold cover.


RAVEN - Heads Up (12" EP)
