The vinyl collecting thread...

My vinyl and CD collection is literally overrunning my bedroom. Someday I hope to have a room dedicated just to my music. Until that time, my wife must suffer with a room overrun with rock and roll junk. LOL!

Actually, my vinyl collection isn't all that large. Page 1 of this thread lists my whole vinyl collection.

I got a copy of Live Evil by Black Sabbath for $2.99 w/ all inserts and very great condition in both regard to vinyl and jacket.

A local chain of used cd/games/dvds opened a seperate vinyl only shop behind one of thier locations. VERY reasonable prices, I have to dig through boxes at home to see what I need, as well as see what can be replaced with better copies.

The only drag being that "metal" is scarce and what they have is by bands that were somewhat mainstream. I only did a lil drive by and didn't really dig too deep.

Helloween - The Walls of Jericho

Hirax - Hate, Fear & Power

Armored Saint - March of the Saint (which is fantastic!)

These are from an old radio station here in Sacramento, with local artists

KZAP Hometown album (1982) Most "famous" band on it... Probably, Steel Breeze-"you don't want me anymore"

KZAP Hometown 2 (1983) Most famous on this one Probably City Kid with the song "teenage dream" just cause it was the predecessor to Tesla.

Also got....
Loudness-Thunder In The East
Bang Tango-Psycho Cafe'
California Jam 2 ( already own, but 2 good of a copy to pass up)
Aerosmith-S/T ( original cover without "featuring dream on")

I am amazed at you guys, I am getting rid of vinyl as I replace them with CD versions and you guys keep adding them to your collections, I only have so much room in my house and sadly I do not have a man cave in my house.

Let me know what you are getting rid of, I may take it off your hands.

I will look thru my vinyl LPs, I did promise some Nugents to James B, but I should have a few Rush, UFO LPS in the mix
