You and Vinyl

Inspired by the thread on punktastic this can be a place to discuss vinyl what do you have incoming, decks and the like. This probably wont take off but figured it was worth a shot seeing as a fair few seem to buy vinyl on here. So discuss everything vinyl!!

I have just started collecting and sorted a deck. Manged to pick up some old stuff through various places round Portsmouth over the last few days.

Managed to pick up:

Bridge and Tunnel/Young Livers split 7"
You me and the atom bomb/North Lincoln split 7"
Public Enemy - Welcome to the terror dome 7"
De la soul - Magic Number 7"
Blur - There is no other way 7"
Bruce Springsteen - Born in the USA 7"
Bruce Springsteen - War (live) 7"
Jimmy Ruffin - what becomes of the broken hearted 7"
Pouges/Dubliners - Irish Rover 7"
UB40 - Red wine 7"
Grandmaster Flash - The Message 12" single
Paul McCartney and Wings - Band on the run LP
The Clash - Give 'em enough rope LP
Neds Atomics Dustbin - God Fodder LP
Throwing Muses - University LP
The Selecter - s/t LP
Bruce Springsteen - Born in the USA LP

Have ordered and waiting on:

Bridge and tunnel - Loss leaders 7"
Off with their heads/Dear landlord split 7"
Gaslight Anthem - 59 sound (reissue) 7"
Dinosaur Jr - You're living all over me LP (white with red splatter)
Hot Water Music - No division LP (blue marbled)
Bridge and tunnel - East/West LP (purpley blue apparently??)
None more Black - File under black LP

Buy all my Gaslight Anthem vinyl!

I spent the little money I have spare on the above stuff im waiting on. However its my birthday on the 3rd so may have some cash floating around. Do you still have the ones I was after or you managed to shift them?

I think this is a pretty good idea.

I have incoming:

TGA SOS White with Red Splatter (coming in from Stalls)
Menzingers Hold on Dodge 7" olive green (600) (coming in from VC)
MCR-I Brought You My Bullets...WHITE (100)

I've decided that I'm only gonna try to get LP's from now on. Don't wanna pay lots of money for 7" stuff that only have a few songs.

Im the opposite I ideally want a nice collection of 7" with the non album stuff and a few select LPs.

Kieran: Pretty sure I have most of the stuff you wanted still left. Let me know what and when you're after!

Should be with you VERY soon!

I just lucked out, I was talking to my neighbor about music and I mentioned how much I love vinyl now. She had no idea I listened to vinyl and was so glad to hear that someone was so passionate about music that she gave me her collection! Here are the highlights of what she gave me:

Beach Boys "The Beach Boys Live in London" ST-11584
Billy Joel "The Nylon Curtain" QC 38200
Chet Atkins "Chet Atkins and His Guitar" CAL 659
Eagles "Their Greatest Hits" 6E-105
Elvis Presley "Elvis' Golden Records" LPM-1707
Frank Sinatra "Sinatra's Sinatra" R9-1010
Hank Williams "24 of Hank Williams' Greatest Hits" SE 4755-2
Johnny Cash "Blood, Sweat and Tears" Cl 1930
Johnny Cash "Hymns by Johnny Cash" CL 1284
Johnny Cash "I Walk The Line" CS 8990
Johnny Cash "Ring of Fire, The Best of Johnny Cash" CS 8853
Johnny Cash "The Sound of Johnny Cash" CL 1802
Les Paul & Mary Ford "Swingin' South!!" CS 8728
Marnish Distillery "The Sounds of Marnish Distillery Pipe Band" WRC 1-1201
Merle Haggard "Okie From Muskogee" ST-384
Peter, Paul and Mary "In The Wind" WS1507
Peter, Paul and Mary "Moving" W1473
Peter, Paul and Mary "PP&M" WS1449
Prado "Big Hits" LSP-2104
Ray Charles "Greatest Hits" ABCS 415
Ray Charles "Modern Sounds in Country and Western Music" ABC 410
Willie Nelson "Somewhere Over The Rainbow" FC 36883

all of these are in great condition and sound great... there are a lot more, but I haven't catalogued them yet (including some Elvis and Beatles 7")

I have a Audio Technica PL-120 and $1000 dollars. Someone help me pick out what else I need. I want a sound system that will:

A. be big enough for my guestroom 15x10feet
B. I want the system to make songs like "Blue Jeans and White T-Shirts" or anything by Johnny Cash sound great. In other words, I don't need a ton of bass.
C. I have a 15 month old baby, the system does not need to be loud.

so overall, I am looking for quality of sound, not just volume. I don't care if the speakers can go to 11.

as an incentive, if someone recommends a system that I end up getting every piece of, I will give you an open invitation to my place where we will listen to great music (like TGA's Sink or Swim test pressing) while drinking nice scotch.

Sweet will see what happens I may just stick it on the overdraft in the end we shall see after the 3rd!

Scott thats pretty awesome same has happened Dads vinyl but I didnt list it as really its still his and im not taking it with me when I move back out. There are some gems in there Led Zep, Pink Floyds Darkside of the moon, Stevie wonder and a load of other mowtown stuff.

they are in amazing condition!

I've really fallen behind on vinyl purchasing! I think I've got a couple of 7"s coming - the new Gaslight single, and the Spraynard split. Anyone wanna buy a kidney so I can afford more?

dibs!

Damn it I think HMV are big liers. I have my 59 sound reissue on the way and they said it would be here today. Is it hell. The upside is I should get a nice chunk of my incomings tomorrow from a different distro so hopefully I will get the 7" as well and have a few hours chilling to some records.

I don't think it's officially out til Monday anyways, so I wouldn't worry too much!
HMV once sent me a Chris de Burghe CD instead of a Chuck Ragan one, wasn't happy.

Apparently my re-released '59 Sound was dispatched a couple of days ago, so I may get it tomorrow from HMV. They've taken the money from my account anyhow!!!

Same im annoyed with cargo records though last time I checked the money had gone from my account and then they emailed me saying it wont ship until the 9th! I think they have sold me something they dont have in stock and are waiting on a delivery cheeky sods. I just want Dinosaur jr on glorious white with red splatter!

I think they (Vinyl Collective?? It was the brown vinyl one??) took the money for my Brian Fallon 7" as soon as I placed a preorder- like 2 months before it was out!

Thats true I forgot about that when is it due out? I have it ordered on brown as well.

I have alot coming from Vinyl Collective on the way...

most of the Under The Influence collection (originally I was not interested in this, until I heard the UTI podcasts, then I thought this was an awesome idea)... I also have a slackers album and Brian and Chucks split

I think I might need to place anther order with VC and get Able Baker Fox - Voices I love that album. None of my incoming has come yet tomorrow or Monday it is then.

Think the Brian split is out about midway through July.

One thing I hate about collecting vinyl (if getting it shipped) is the long wait for it.

Is it here yet? Is it here yet?

But then again it is pretty exciting when it finally comes in...

Or the way the postman forces it through the letterbox (7"s) with such force that I am scared it will break when it hits the floor.
