if your like me you only have a fraction of what you used to have.
among mine that i still have are
joy division : still
grace jones: living my life
sex pistols: never mind....
southern death cult:same
virgin prunes :if i die i die
nivana:come as you are (12 inch single)
police: wrapped around your finger (7 inch single).
must have a look at the rest of them later. :)
I have around 150 singles still upstairs, ranging from hip hop to Drum n Bass to House. I know that I could make a killing off them, but I cant bring myself to sell them.
My favourites that i still have
Just passing through - Aim
Sense Of Danger - Presence
Brown Paper Bag - Roni Size
Spellbound - Veba w Rae & Christian
Its alright, I feel it - Jocelyn Brown w/ MAW
I sold my decks and vinyl before I left London but I did keep a hold of some of my favourite tracks:
Adam Beyer - Drumcode
Richie Hawtin - Minus Orange
Josh Wink - How's Your Evening So Far
Jurassice Five - Quality Control
They're in storage in Ireland at the moment.
Bought a 4 -in -one back in 1992. That is a Record deck/ CD player/ Radio/ cassette player rolled into one
Still have all my vinyl 600 45 rpm singles
Around 200 33rpm Albums and a handful of 12" 45rpm singles and some EP's and flexi discs.
I still buy dance vinyl so I have about 600+. I have older stuff as well which were my uncles, such as Thin Lizzy, U2, Eagles, Madness, Depeche Mode, Michael Jackson etc. Have some very good ones. I even have our Euro 88 song on vinyl, it has a tri-colour sleeve with the team photo!
BTW Gary, vinyl isn't worth much nowdays as a sell on commodity. Since the Final Scratch system was invented, most DJ's are now buying MP3's online rather than records in shops. A single LP costs about €10, a lot more if it's a european\american import. Whereas, you can buy the mp3 of the same tune online for something like $1 - that's giving you an average of 8 - 10 tunes for the price of one physical LP. I've thought about selling my collection a few times, but for what i'd get for them, i'd rather keep them. €25 is the most you'll get for an old deleted classic, but you'd be forced to sell the less popular records for €3 - €5 each, so ultimately you're losing money. I look forward with interest to listening to my Techno\Trance\House records when i'm 50! :eek: :D
Anyone around doing conversion? I was only cleaning up the attic in the mother's house (my former abode) today and had a tidy pile of fifty or so albums or singles when I was done. Be nice to convert a few of them to electronic format.
I know I could do it meself, but I'd prefer not to. :)

I've got about 700 vinyl lp's, 600 7" singles and 500 12",all tucked away safely in me Ma's attic.I have all the U2 7" and 12" on vinyl,plus all the police blue vinyl 7" and the sex pistols,clash,stranglers,buzzcocks on 7" coloured vinyl .The only vinyl I collect now is the trojan dub plate 7" stuff.Vinyl rules,it looks great and there was nothing better than getting your new lp and putting it on your turntable
I dunno, alot of Hip Hop and house DJs are still using vinyl and only vinyl. Alot of what i would have hasnt been released on CD or good quality MP3 afaik.Quote:

The best one I have (visually not musically) is by a band called Spectrum - Sonic Boom from Spaceman 3 spin off band. Its clear vinyl and when I bought it the cover was made of clear plastic with squishy couloured liquid inside. (Unfortunately the liquid has sinced hardened.)
The album was crap by the way.

I've actually nearly all mine left, well hopefully reading some of the stuff above! The tapes should still be there too, come to think of it.Quote:
