i am so addicted to buying lp's. my girl hates it, but when i saw don mcleans "american pie" album the other day it got the juices flowing. but everyones got sales. i picked up some johnny cash, dire straits, van morrison, cat stevens, george michael, some dylan, three dog night, all kinds of crazy shit. even got the saturday night fever soundtrack(with the poster!).

jc....so old school of you....I had to laugh at your list..those "cats" were contemporary pop music while I was growing up..now youngsters look at them like collectibles....but geesh...george michael?

I have my Technics 1200 sitting just to the right of me. I listened to a bunch of 10" collector's items I've got just a couple of days ago and I still dig out a record every few days to record into my digital collection. I've been carting around 1000 lps with me for years.

Here's some vinyl I'm selling or have sold on eBay: http://www.psychicreform.com/ebaysales/

The stuff I'll never part with isn't collectable. I don't have anything "valuable" I wouldn't sell, I don't think. But I've got some records I wouldn't sell if they were worth $50 just because they're special to me (also, they wouldn't sell for a dollar, heh heh). But that sound when the needle hits the groove and then, after some ticks and pops that you learn to recognize as the introduction to the first song, it begins, and all the noise, etc. is drowned in the excellence of the sound.

Anyone that's ever spun records for people understands...

Add the pickup, swing over, and drop click of a juke box and you're living my teen years in my grandparents' little Sweet Shop.
