Who's got a record player?

[Answerprancer]

and a huge heap of vinyl?
I have ! Love 'em.
Big round smelly scratchy, clicky clacky, bacony jumpy, turn em overy, too shorty, analoguey, come to think of it pain in the @rsey bulky, stupid great big, DJ-attracting lumps of sh!t. LOL

I have. Although I have mostly replaced my vinyl with remastered CDs, there are some records that I just can't part with because they're part of me...

Now you have made me weep, around 10 years ago a so called friend was doing an am dram gig and needed original records to do the backing, I lent over 60 precious vinyl's and he has disappeared off the face of the earth. I thought I had got over it but no!! I have not. Sniff.

[Answerprancer]

Me too. I keep saying I will record them all in real time remove all the clicks/pops in Cool Edit, save to disc then e-bay the lotofem apart from one or two (for old time's sake) - maybe one day :-)

[Mamyalynne]

SOB!!

[MarkRae]

I had over 5,000 vinyl albums. Replaced almost all of them with remastered CDs, but have kept around 200 that I just can't bear to part with.

Like the original "From Genesis to Revelation" with lyric sheet. Or the original "Warrior on the Edge of Time" which opens out into a shield...

[Answerprancer]

Ahhh..Hawkwind :-) When I think of vinyl, I think of Hawkwind (and Gong)

[Answerprancer]

...and Pink Floyd and ELP come to think of it

[MarkRae]

I am, you are, we are CRAZY!

[Answerprancer]

Mamya ! Go to any of those huge car-boot sales and you'll probably re-find the lot! (Plus a whole bunch of Peter's and Lee records into the bargain).

[Answerprancer]

...be there, be aware, be there, see you there ! Open on Saturday seven to nine :-)

[MarkRae]

I'm an invisible pixie
The green planet Gong is my home
Now I live everywhere
But in case I'm not there
You can reach me by radio gnome

[Answerprancer]

..they've got the flying teapot, don't need a taxi!

[Answerprancer]

..got any ELP?

[Answerprancer]

I have Brain Salad Surgery - the Geiger one that opens out from a skullington to a goddess with snakey locks! (sorry - bit p!ssed)

[Answerprancer]

..and the pic disc of Tubular Bells !

[Mamyalynne]

One I love and still have on 12" vinyl but I know has been voted both best and worst, but it hits a point in my life and that makes a difference, all about choices.

[MarkRae]

I had all the ELP albums on vinyl. Have them all on remastered CDs now, but kept Brain Salad Surgery because of the artwork, and Pictures at an Exhibition because of where it was recorded...

[MarkRae]

I have kept my original Vienna on vinyl, even though the CD remaster is simply stunning!

[Mamyalynne]

I always said we shared some tastes Mark♥

[Answerprancer]

Aww...brilliant! :-) We used to make jokes about "it means nothing to me" ..but it did to me secretly :-) I remember my sister/cousin had a few records by Slik (Midge Ure's first band) - now off to look for the single :-)
