There's just nothing about a CD that makes me want to just get high and sit down and listen to it. My career as a pothead really began in earnest when I started collecting prog LPs.

Stoner music is one of the best arguments for this format, you are experiencing historic music in a historic manner so you get a better sense of what being a real 70s prog fan was like!

as far as price, the place i bought my record-player (spec's music in coral gables) has a small vinyl section. but everything is expensive! it's all, like, $25.00 a record. you say vinyl is cheap?
― Daniel, Esq., Wednesday, October 20, 2010 12:29 PM (Yesterday) Bookmark
some places really, really jack up the price of used vinyl fwiw. don't shop for vinyl thinking that you have to pay $15 for--to cite an example--a steely dan LP when you could probably pay $15 for good clean copies of their first 7 albums.
― rothko's chapel and waffles (omar little), Thursday, 21 October 2010 22:22 (thirteen years ago) link
$15 total i mean.
― rothko's chapel and waffles (omar little), Thursday, 21 October 2010 22:23 (thirteen years ago) link
yeah I don't think I paid morethan $5 for any of the Steely Dan albums I got, with the exception of a copy of Can't Buy A Thrill that was in unusually pristine shape
― the first Asian legislator in our Nevada State Assembly (Shakey Mo Collier), Thursday, 21 October 2010 22:27 (thirteen years ago) link
yeah, i think i paid probably $20 for all the steely dan records on vinyl. maybe less, i know at least one of 'em was $1.
― tylerw, Thursday, 21 October 2010 22:29 (thirteen years ago) link
and that is some serious value right there.
WOW. that's a great price. for good quality records (no scratches, distortions, warping)?
i need to explore other outlets to buy vinyl. i don't think i can hack paying $25.00 a record.
― Daniel, Esq., Thursday, 21 October 2010 22:35 (thirteen years ago) link
i got the entire classic Dan at a record fair for a buck each, all minty. love those 70s albums with the thick inner sleeves (and classical with the high-quality paper/plastic ones reserved for Good Music).

(no scratches, distortions, warping)?i mean there's some crackles and pops and so forth, but for many those crackles and pops would be a reason why vinyl is superior.
― tylerw, Thursday, 21 October 2010 22:39 (thirteen years ago) link
you'd be surprised at how nice a lot of $1-$2 records can look and sound.

tonight, having just opened the syl johnson vinyl set from numero group, this cheap record player is a revelation. The sound is noticeably better -- richer, warmer, fuller, better dynamics.
and yeah, the whole record package makes it seem more like a valuable art object. thrilled with this.

I like that it slows me down and that it isn't easy to switch to something else.
this is my favorite thing about vinyl these days. step away from a computer, put away a cellphone, and just d-_-b

I can't wait to actually have the space and the cash again to do a full stereo setup with a turntable and to start buying vinyl again. Esp since I have a hand-me-down macintosh amp and receiver that I'm psyched to set up.
