| I just got sucked into the rabbit hole due to me buying the Barnes and Noble exclusive Guardians of the Galaxy vol 2 record player so I picked up a few records. I refuse to rebuy music I already own (ie., apple itunes store or previously owned cds, cassettes, etc) so I wanted to buy records for music I listened to as a kid that I don't own any longer. Here's some I picked up recently...the only rule breaker was Sublime. My first record had to be Sublime. I have a sad sub tattoo on my left elbow.   Here's some LPs I picked up over the weekend. My wife loves the movie Eddie and the Cruisers so I had to pick up that one...       Any tips, hints, or suggestions about records? Storage? What to look for? Anything related? Hobbyists? |

| Not so much collecting as just basically took my parents stuff and of course what I bought. 1st CD came out 1986 so I was 12 and of course took a while for CD's to replace vinyl so I was buying it all the way through high school. As with anything store in a "cool, dry space" also store up right of course, flat and they will warp, too hot warp, too wet - warp (also sleeves get ruined). There are collectors out there - first pressings, what condition and all that. I just buy what I like listening to  |

| Have some vinyl for tv music & the record versions of FF #1, Avengers #4 & Amazing Spider-Man #1 from Golden Records. (being older means you've seen lots of baby steps from different companies.) | ||

| Hey Kaptain...you are in luck...I am a record collector since I was 13+. My first 45 I bought was the theme song from Laverne and Shirley....LOL. I no longer have that record.....I don't think so...but who knows, huh? Any how....I like your choices...not so much if those were the prices though....hehehe.... You can't go wro,g with the Floyd or the Sex Pistols or the Famines...great music on those. I liked the cable movie E&TC....Beaver Brown band has got some good stuff going on....not that valuable. The U2 cut looks a bit worn on theoutside, hopefully the vinyl is in better condition. I would also suggest the live recording "Rattle and Hum". Sublime...awesome pick...love that shite. Unfortunately, the Ziggy Stardust is a reissue....otherwise...you can't go wrong with it, especially if being Bowie. Look out for "Diamond Dogs", the cover that shows his "genitals" on the wraparound cover..,,that is a gem. |

| I haven't collected vinyl since the '90s. Wish I still had my original releases I sold back in 2004 due to hard times. One album in particular I accidentally sold with the batch was "Trapeze - Medusa" that I had autographed by all 3 band members. Eventually they dissolved and moved on to join other bands.... Mel Galley - guitars (Whitesnake) Glenn Hughes - vocals, bass (Deep Purple) Dave Holland - drums (Judas Priest) |

Love me some vinyl. Basically, don't let'em get too hot or too cold. Stick to what you love, no sense wasting good comic book money on somethin you'll never listen to. Here's a slice of my collection, Lateralus from TOOL is my pride n joy.  |

Part of Eddie and the Cruisers was filmed in a junk-yard about 10 minutes from me. South jersey ain't got much more than that to brag about |

| Store them standing up. Keep them in climate control and careful when handling. If you lay them flat and stacked you get scratches and that the album leaves a circular crease in the cover. Always store them in their sleeve. Be sure to listen and enjoy. |

| My sons hooked me up with a newer record player, receiver and tied it into multiple speakers we own for my birthday last year. I primarily play the same albums over and over because they just sound so dam good. Steely Dan: Can't buy a thrill, Steve Miller: Fly like an eagle and Rush: Moving Pictures. | ||

So...I been looking locally for these records so after second bourbon I have these coming now from ebay. Very, very cheap btw, less than $8-10 each. The Poison album turns out is very difficult to obtain a first pressing of Flesh and Blood. That one was $25.     |

I gave away most of my records to a friend. I kept a few things that were harder to find or more odd. I was into metal and hard rock mainly. I kept a few singles too. Unsually, the things I kept had bonus tracks that were non-LP. I kept some picture discs, but they have yellowed over time. I'm glad I didn't buy more. LOL! I did a really lousy job of stitching two partial scans on that one. |

A German release of Dokken's first album. It has some studio tracks that were swapped out on the American release. One song has different words. |
