Vinyl Records

Oh boy, what a record. Lyrically it's so destructive but I'm always satisfied after giving it a listen.

Top row:

Cold Gawd - God Get Me The Fuck Out Of Here

Alison Goldfrapp - Love Invention

The Jam - Sound Affects

Bottom row:

Cranes - EP Collection, Volumes 1 & 2

Cranes - Self-Non-Self

The Cold Gawd album was new to me and I bought it on a whim after hearing it play at a record store I love. It's an awesome album though and I recommend it to anyone who likes the heavier side of shoegaze.

I also highly recommend Alison Goldfrapp's solo album. Lots of dancey fun and will put you in a good mood.

The other 3 I've just been needing in my collection for a long time.

For me it was probably Thrice's Alchemy Index. I paid around $130 for it and I don't think I can afford to make any more record purchases like that again lol

I just listened to the full album today and instantly wanted to snag a copy...feels bad

Described jokingly as "nintendocore", Horse the band and this album in particular were a huge part of my metalcore loving youth. So I couldn't resist getting this when I saw it had been pressed to vinyl and in cool colours no less.

Alt text: The art on the LP outer sleeve is a drawing of a soaring squail and an octopus and other creatures that are mentioned in the songs. It has a hype sticker that says "Record Store Day Exclusive, First time on vinyl". One of the vinyl records is a swirl of two colours described as baby blue and custard. The other (not pictured) is spring green and custard. These match the colours of the album art.

That's a pretty steep discount for this classic record. Thought I'd share

We all know that Crosbys and Victrolas aren't great, so what would you recommend for a friend who has started collecting vinyl records?

You could say that I'm a fan.

I'm a collector of sorts so was hoping we could have a community on Lemmy where we can discuss anything related to collecting and caring for our records. Hope to see more folks join in!
