So yesterday my grandpa gave me a whole bunch of these things, and I picked up a player for them. Most of them aren't in fantastic shape, but aside from the scratches here and there, they sound pretty great. Just a couple sounded very worn out. I should see about picking up some more modern stuff. :p

Anyone else have these?

We have a crap load of records. Been trying to sell them but we've been lazy. This week we're going to try to get rid of them for some cash.

My parents still have a bunch of them. I don't think they have a record player anymore, though.

My dad had a few boxes full, but he didn't have a record player, so we sold them cheap at our yard sale before we moved.

We have a decent collection of them still, and two record players.

We rarely play them.

My grandfather has a huge collection of ancient high-speed records we can't really play.

It's a bit of a shame.

Sadly I do not own records now, but my Grandpa also has a collection at his house, but I haven't earned the chance to play them yet, but I do enjoy those old records.

I have to say that there isn't a whole lot of benefit to the format itself (maybe if you have ridiculous equipment and they're absolutely clean and new, there's a benefit), but they tend to be mastered differently.

See Loudness War

I know it's wikipedia, but there are plenty of other sources on it.

My mom should still have a few, but doesn't have a record player to listen to them anymore... Nothing I'd want to listen to, tho, like David Hasselhoff's "Looking for Freedom" I think

I'm planning on starting a collection of them once I get a chance. We have a record player at home, so I don't really have to worry about that. I'll have a nice selection of modern indie music plus some cool vintage stuff: jazz, pop and what have you. : J

My Mom had a bunch of them when I was a kid, but my Dad got angry one night because he was drunk and broke most of them. But she has a few left. Sad though that she didn't get to keep the other ones.

Amoeba is fucking excellent for stuff like that, I love going in there just to browse because I'm always amazed at what I'd find.

I know my grandparents have a whole bunch, but I know absolutely nothing about a record player. I'd like to think that they do, but it's probably up to camp.

I recently received a SUPER SECRET FANCLUB-ONLY TMBG EP in the mail.

It's on a record.

I want to rip it to my compy but can't.

I bought a USB turntable a while ago because there are a good number of places to pick up super-cheap used LPs in good condition. It's a shame that new releases on LP are so expensive in comparison ($20-$30 each compared to <$10), but from my experience LPs cost a lot more to manufacture than CDs, so I guess it's a necessity.

I've also wanted to start trading on Discogs, but the shipping part of internet buying/selling always kind of puts me off from that sort of thing (read: costs money). Probably worth it though, I've seen a lot of good shit for sale on there for pretty good prices.
