Which one do you go to/live by?

Two years ago I was in California and we went to the Amoeba store in San Francisco. This was the most records I have ever seen in my whole life. I also loved how they were organized by genre and alphabetized and everything. It was amazing.

That's also where I got my vinyl copy of Radiohead's OK Computer. At the time it was very expensive but that didn't matter. I am so glad I bought it though because I have been looking for some of their other albums on vinyl and I have come to find out that they are very hard to come by.

Some collectors think that these'll be worth serious money in time. Glad I picked up Kid A when I did.

wasn't there a thread discussing vinyl players? i've been searching for it all evening and can't find it. i'm thinking about buying one this weekend and would like to see what people said. if anyone can find it for me i'd greatly appreciate it

Not sure if this the discussion you were thinking about, but I found a short thread on turntables here.

My latest vinyl find is V/A Waking Up Scheherazade: Arabian Psych Nuggets. Great package of extremely rare Mid-East psychedelia, and many of the tracks seem to originate from Lebanon. Ultra cool LP cover and a psychedelic swirl colored vinyl disc!

thanx crazed, i thought i'd remembered a longer thread but rockthief's info is very interesting

I ran out of money and didn't have my turntable here... so I sold a lot of my vinyl. Made good money but lost some one of a kind vinyl...

It sounds good, although I'm probably not the best judge yet cos I really need a new turntable. The dinky little unit I've got now skips like a 6 yr old girl playing hopscotch. But it's sweet nonetheless.

And about Donuts - I got that on CD, but I probably should have held off for a vinyl copy. I luuuuuv that album.

Yeah, I love that album as well; it's rich and full of energy. I already had it on CD as well but that didn't stop me from getting it on vinyl. Often, even if I have some stuff on CD, I will buy it on vinyl if I really like (this happens a lot.)

I went to a new record store that my friend showed me where I got these great finds:

Bruce Springsteen - Darkness on the Edge of Town
Steely Dan - Can't Buy A Thrill
Steely Dan - The Royal Scam
Talking Heads - More Songs About Buildings and Food
Walt Disney's Fantasia, Leopold Stokowski with The Philadelphia Orchestra (This one is especially special. It's 3 LPs with artwork from the film and detailed stories about the compositions. A true collector's item.)

Michael Jackson - Off the Wall

Sleater-Kinney - Call the Doctor

Passport's Cross Collateral. Their 1975 album and often considered their best release. German jazz-prog-funk. Picked up a used copy at the Indianapolis record collectors convention today.

Jesu - Silver

Diana Ross with the Supremes - Greatest Hits
