I Love Vinyl! Recent Haul/Score/Purchase Thread (2010)

I took my father-in-law with me to the record store. He loves music (and is a drummer) and still has a bunch of old records from back in the day, but he hadn't had a turntable in years. A bunch of us went in on a Rega P1 for him this past christmas and he'd gotten a kick out of playing his old records. But this was the first time he'd been in a new/used vinyl store in a long time and he was like a kid in a candy store. "Hey Bob, check this out -- I used to have this! $3, can you believe it?!! I gotta get this..."

^^^ heartwarming!

yeah, that's a nice story.

i've bought a lot of vinyl the past few weeks but i find it's too much trouble to bring it to where my computer is to type it up. :-(

maybe tomorrow.

you need a macbook son.

i have one, i just only have internet access in one room. :-(

No, man that was under five bucks for all those records, total.. IN TOTO. So ya, the pricing at Reckless is frequently awesome.

Roedelius - Jardin Au Fou (on egg)
Eurythmics - In The Garden (with conny, jaki and holger)

^ i love that Roedelius Jardin

fuck that eurhythmics record is AWESOME jaxon

and weirdly took me FOREVER to find

just gotta post this video ONE MORE TIME. it's so great. looks like Tarsem's The Fall or jodorowsky.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5KLruiHP8U8

god i hate the eurthymics

i mostly agree, but that album is more about CONNY PLANK producing CAN -- dave and annie hold up really well, but that wouldnt be enough to do it for me otherwise...
