I’m a massive funk fan and couldn’t resist this. George Clinton’s first 45 from the late 50s. It’s doo-wop, so it’s hardly gonna work on the dance floor like his 70s funk, but it’s still an awesome little 45.
My collection won’t fit in a single picture, I had to use two. The basement is too dark for iPhone panorama’s to come out well. Discogs says 3,391 in collection and probably a little bit more than half of it is in there so somewhere between 5,500 and 6,500 records.
I actually just had two vinyl orders arrive today. Some new old stock catch-up on things from the past few years (except for the Joey Jupiter, that’s a rare one):
And new releases from the past 6 weeks or so:
I have about 125 vinyls mostly 80s hip hop and old disco. That was my latest purchases 3x sealed copies of follow the leader 1989 for $24 total.
Call them records. ‘Vinyls’ is just wrong.
I’ve got the LP that Rakim track is off by the way. Got a bunch of his releases and they have been on high rotation since they came out. Never fail at a gig.
That term is used pretty widely in Europe at least in the free party scene. Pretty much every store I order from now uses the term ‘vinyls’.
You should probably sell some of those suckas. You currently have more vinyl than my local store. Can’t imagine some of those are going to do anything but collect dust.
Well they’re wrong too. It’s records, they’re made of vinyl they aren’t called vinyls. I’ve got decades of collecting under my belt and the only time I’ve seen it is on the odd internet page that looks like it was made by the uninformed. They have been called records for over a hundred years now. You won’t ever find a catalogue from a record company calling them vinyls.
Relax
^lol i use both “vinyls” and “records” meh.
relax.
It ain’t “vinyls”. You can use that word when talking about different types of vinyl - as in the material itself - but when talking about vinyl records, the plural is still “vinyl” as in “I love vinyl”, not “I love vinyls”. It’s nothing to get upset about though, lol, but it just comes across as n00bish to me when someone says “vinyls” when talking about vinyl.
My small vinyl collection. Hardcore techno, goth, industrial, new wave, dark wave, high energy, disco, funk, rock, 80 hip hop, and tons of house
I’m all good, I’ve got bigger fish to gut. It doesn’t make much sense to read emotion into a net posting, short of abuse or all caps. But if it’s wrong I’m gonna call it wrong.
Precisely.
I wasn’t reading into anything. I was reading a guy sounding crazy over someone adding an s to vinyl. Just seemed a tad much to call someone out on it.
I got rid of around 1,000 when I bought the house around 15 years ago; lots of late 80’s record pool junk I knew I’d never ever play.
I probably should thin the collection out; I could easily get rid of at least 1/4 of it. The problem is getting rid of it (other than just throwing it out or giving it away) is real work. None of the local record shops have any interest in any sort of dance/electronic music.
How far from Providence do you live? Analog Underground may be interested.
Right. You tell people to ‘relax’ and then call them ‘crazy’.
Whatever I’m over it.
All I see is a not full small Expedit. You cannot have “tons” of anything in there.
People please post pictures of collections and not few crates of sample/dj-records.
Collection - The action or process of collecting someone or something.
