I was at a record store in Albuquerque this weekend and they had this vinyl for $14 and my wife said, "Happy Birthday", so now it's mine.

That's a good woman you got there, Ult, keep her!!

My wife, on the other hand, would've said "What, another album? How many of these #@$%ing things do you need?"

My woman would ask to borrow your wife's staple gun!!!

When I'm telling mine about any cool pickups I have found,she'll not say anything. I'll ask her if she heard me and she replies "Yeah but I don't care."


I don't collect vinyl but I did see some cool ones at the Exchange today-Metal Church-The Dark,Agent Steel-Unstoppable Force,Stryper-To Hell With The Devil (Angel cover), KISS-Creatures Of The Night (for $50.00) and KISS-The Originals (for $100). I'd sure love to have The Originals.

They fell down and bumped their head w/ those prices. The Originals has two versions though.

Yeah I'm not sure what the deal is with those two (except maybe the Originals) because all the other vinyl I had seen was between $10 and $20.

My vinyl haul over the past couple of weeks:

Tygers of Pan Tang - Crazy Nights
Alcatrazz - No Parole From Rock 'n' Roll
Wild Dogs - Reign of Terror
Saxon - Denim and Leather
Blue Oyster Cult - Fire of Unknown Origin
Riot - Fire Down Under
Dio - The Last in Line
Robin Trower - Bridge of Sighs

No joke!!!! Unless they are original pressing and still sealed, the prices are off

Still then that is high...

I have a few Maiden picture discs! I would prefer they release on 180 gram vinyl instead so I could actually play them! LOL!!!! But in seriousness, they are cool to collect. Here's a pic of En Vivo pic disk:

Virus - Force Recon

Has the nastiest hole punch I've ever seen. Looks like a bullet hole. And a sticker that won't come off the cover. But for what I paid for it, I can live with it. Killer album.

Saint Vitus - Blessed Night 7"

I'll be heading to the Albuquerque Record Convention this Sunday morning.

Nice find, that's my all-time favorite Riot release. The live versions of "Loanshark" and "Loved By You" stomp the studio versions into dust.

I was shocked to see it there. It's in superb condition and was all of $1.99. I love that EP as well and I am still surprised that it's never seen a CD release - I thought it would be tacked on as bonus tracks to something.

I believe there was a short-lived CD version of Restless Breed that contained the EP as bonus tracks, but then it was reissued again with just the original LP.

Ha! Now that you mention that, I went and looked at my collection and I have the High Vaultage reissue that has the EP as bonus tracks! So I guess I do have it on CD and now on vinyl.

For those of you still collect vinyl here some record day releases:

Fans of Ozzy Osbourne and vinyl will be pleased to hear the two are coming together on Record Store Day – Saturday, April 21.

Ozzy’s vinyl releases for Record Store Day 2012 are:

* "Live" 12-inch 180-gram audiophile vinyl LPs (two-disc set): A limited, numbered collector's edition recorded live on the 1981 "Blizzard Of Ozz" tour with legendary guitarist Randy Rhoads

* "Believer" live seven-inch single: A limited, numbered collector's edition on polka-dot vinyl featuring "Believer" (live) + "Goodbye to Romance" (2010 guitar and vocal mix)

Record Store Day is an annual celebration of record store culture, which takes place on the third Saturday in April. Iggy Pop has been selected as Record Store Day 2012 Ambassador for this, the fifth year; last year’s Ambassador was Ozzy.

Osbourne continues to work with most of a reunited Black Sabbath on new music, while his “Ozzy & Friends” shows are replacing the planned Sabbath reunion concerts due to guitarist Tony Iommi’s ongoing cancer treatments.

In addition to these two releases, Rainbow's Long Live Rock N Roll is being issued as a limited picture disc on that day. I need to get that!
