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. |

An obscure California band. I guess this would be west coast punk rock. The songs are not that great overall, but the lyrics cracked me up on a few. You can hear most of the songs on youtube. "No More Drugs", "Riot in the Men's Room", or "Die Bob Die" still make me smile after decades. |

| I just gave away all my remaining LP's & 45's a week ago. About 200 of each. Preparing for another move and didn't want to pack & move them again. Most went to extended family, so OK with not selling. Happy they went to a good home. | ||

| While on the topic; Years ago I walked into a huge record dealer in the city I used to live in, and noticed they were preparing a new collection to be put on their shelves. There were 3 employees, one of them was the owner, going through the records. I watched as they each would take a cover, look at it, then grab various different colored sharpies, and color touch the corners and spots that were worn. I asked the owner about this and he said they do it all the time. I told him about the comic book hobby and that color touch was not viewed positively. He said that it makes the albums easier to sell, and record buyers don't care if it's been color touched or not. Since then I've paid attention to albums when I am buying, and he's right about one thing, there sure are a lot of color touched album covers on the market. I'm not into it enough to know if it is something embraced by the collectors or not. |

| I noticed today my records sound terrible. There is a bad feedback when the voices or music get loud. I think I blew the speakers on this portable record player. I hooked it up to my computer speakers aux input and it carries over to those speakers too. Confused. So I even placed a towel underneath the unit thinking it would calm the vibration if any on my glass table...didn't really help. Now I'm listening the Dark Side of the Moon and the now it wants to walk the needle to the middle of the record and makes a terrible scratching sound. ugggh | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by kaptainmyke Check out Numark TTUSB , It hooks into your computer and will burn your records into mp3 files so you can get that warm sound in your car and not wear out your more collectable records. Easy setup; I've had mine for 7 years now with no problems (not even a needle change). I have too many records to count kaptainmyke; whats your fav type of music and I can point you towards some cool picture discs. As far as if you wanna flip em wait for Raekwon to drop a record they will make a limited pressing picture disc (upcharge of like 5 dollars) then they go online for a few hundred a month later, but not mine I play it. And you can get that record player very cheap and if you get some really nice computer speakers it will sound better. I paid crazy prices for several 70's classic players over the years and finding those needles is awful. |

Quote:Originally Posted by RexMuff I think so too,... one or the other. Check the needle first since it's obviously in view. I wouldn't play your vinyl on this unit anymore until fixed or you'll ruin them. |

I found this while cleaning out my mom's house. My friend insisted that I frame it and hang it on my wall. He even bought me a frame. I wish I hadn't written my name on it when I was a kid |

| Obviously, I think too much. I was pondering the resurgence of vinyl because there is the belief among many that vinyl sounds better. That would be because it was an analog recording transferred to an analog playback format. Then I pondered how most recording equipment these days is digital. If you buy a modern vinyl album, you are most likely getting a digital signal recorded into an analog format. I find it very difficult to believe modern bands are recording on audio tape and preserving the full analog signal. There is no logical reason to believe a vinyl album recorded from a digital source would sound better. | ||

This U2 picture disc was supposedly only released for one day. I never opened it from the shrink wrap.  Sorry for the lousy image. It'll sit flat on my scanner, but my scanner doesn't scan the full width of the glass. |

For many years, this album was never offered for sale. It was a radio broadcast album. Eventually it was released on CD as part of the Bonfire Box set.  Here is the letter that came with it.  |

| I also had the original lp copy of "Scorpions - Lovedrive" album which was released on the market inside a black plastic bag so the cover couldn't be seen. The cover showed a guy pulling a wad of bubblegum from a woman's right booby. Later the album was re-released with a granite statue of a scorpion on the cover. | ||
