This looks like something I would sink way too much money into. Maybe if I had a big house to put albums in and way too much money...

discogs is amazing. You can build up a nice collection of records that cost a buck or two without having to sift through musty bins of crap.

Get Better - Two-Way Power

digging is one of the best parts of collecting. walking into a shop, not knowing what is there and discovering a gem is something that sticks in my memory for a long time. i can spend hours upon hours in a store and enjoy every second of it, especially if the place has a listening station set up.

Twist & Shout in Denver is great, ChiCat.

It can absolutely be a money pit, but if you take your time and build up incrementally you will have something you are extremely happy with in a few years. You can also look for record lots on craigslist and potentially buy a few hundred for well below what you will find in stores by people who are just looking to get rid of entire collections they no longer want/don't know what to do with.

btw, Crusty, what is your Discogs user name?

I generally dislike going into record stores because quite honestly I don't like being around most people that work and shop in record stores out here. Also I don't want to spend hours in a store. I can spend 15 minutes on discogs and accomplish a lot more.

Hmmm, I am almost talked into it. I think I am going to have to budget the crap out of myself though.

First Album:

michigancat · « **Reply #14 on:** March 21, 2014, 01:39:39 PM »

That's a great one. I've been craving rap, but most of what I want is pretty rare on vinyl.

I bought it for Humpty Dance as a kid, but the first 6 tracks or so are really solid

This sounds amazing. Does he have any interest in selling them?

Probably never considered it. Mild level sentimental type hoarder.
