All things vinyl...

Anyone a fan of it? What's your rarest find? What's your prized possession? What kind of player do you have? Any serious collectors or just casual listeners?

Big fan,Knight.
Got a pair of SL1210'S from D.J. days so quite a lot of Detroit techno - got a couple of Jeff Mills acetates & a lot of 8-ball promos.
Also master copy of "Playing with Fire" by Spacemen3 and several Slowdive,Chapterhouse & Ride white labels.
Anything you want burning,give me a shout,mate.

Sheesh......I looked for some shoegaze on ebay, its always hard to find and expensive. Nijinsky did you ever get into a band called Loop?Shoegaze with very repetitive, psychedelic drone. Iv'e been wanting to find some of their stuff.

I think the coolest thing I ever found was a Wire compilation album called, "In the Pink" and has cuts from their first three albums. It was made in France but I'm not sure how many were made. I found it at a used bookstore for about $4. I also have an early version (don't know how early) of White Light White Heat. Got a refurbished Denon player, not audiophile by a longshot but sounds nice.

Got a pretty raw C90 of Loop,from when they supported Cabaret Voltaire;(another underrated band),at Sheffield Leadmill.
Also got promo copy;(50 made),of "Chairs Missing".
For listening to vinyl at home,got a Linn Sondek turntable,Naim amp and pre-amp and Bose speakers.
In many ways;( background noise notwithstanding),sounds more "real" than CD or MP3.
Good to hear from ya mate.

It's a Project Debut, Marantz amp and just a Sony 5 disc changer with Tannoy Mercury speakers.

The speakers are due an upgrade and I might go for some floor standers.

Have about 400-450 albums, but sadly no player at the mo.

Have got a few that are hard to get hold of, but one of my favs is the Specials - Too Much Too Young EP on 12" Jap pressing. Absolutely mint condition.

I still occasionally buy vinyl. Last year i bought the limited collecter's box set edition of Radiohead - In Rainbows. Two 12" discs, the basic album on CD, and the second part of the album, or extra 10 tracks.. which ever you like to call it, (CD2).

A few weeks back i bought a limited edition of a Amy Winehouse Ska EP on vinyl. I think that might be worth some money one day.
