Mine was the theme for The Greatest American Hero on 45 (A side, I don’t remember the B side). Got it at K Mart in 1983. Used my allowance money. I was 9. I got $5 a week to mow the lawn, take out the trash, and wash the cars weekly. Think it was around $3-4 bucks.

Actual vinyl record? Nine Inch Nails Pretty Hate Machine.

My last vinyl was Europe Final Countdown. I switched to CDs almost exclusively after that record.

Just bought the new Cody Jinks album. All I have bought lately is vinyl.

Atmosphere - God Loves Ugly
I need a new turntable. I got an old turntable as a karma many many years ago from a member here and sadly it no longer works.
Lots of the bands I listen to are doing vinyl now.

yes, it arrived last week

Sudden Stop by Colin James - found a mint copy in Germany

before that I picked up a new unopened copy of The Concert for George on vinyl

I've been slowly reconstituting my album collection after tossing more than 400 of them in the dumpster back in 1993 or 1994 when I started going to CDs

What's a record?

While I was in Wal-Mart the other day I was surprised to see they are selling vinyl records in the electronics area. Never thought I'd see records being sold new in anything other than specialty shops, but I'm glad they are. Might just get that ABBA Gold album in vinyl that I've been wanting.

Joan Jett & the Blackhearts

I love Rock & Roll,

Guy went into the electronic repair store with his turntable. He said to the tech, "the needle jumps about four or five grooves. Do you think it's the record?"

"Nah," answered the tech. "The record is twenty-seven grooves."

Nope.

No. When I got my first CD player, the one built into the dash of the '88 Rx-7 Convertible I bought in Feb. of 1988, I was done with vinyl.

My first CD, which I bought at Tower records on my way home from the dealership was the Cars Greatest Hits. I ended up with many more CD's than I ever had LP's.

Billy Joel's 52nd Street. And I left it in our hot car while we did some other shopping and it warped.

The last time I bought a vinyl record was when I was 9 years old. It was a 45, less than a buck, and it was Joe Walsh Walk Away.

I'm not 100% certain but I'm guessing it was Fleetwood Mac's Tango in the Night in the late 80's.

"Christus Am Oelberg" by Ludwig van Beethoven. His only oratorio. The "Hallelujah" chorus from it is almost as well known to church choirs as the one from Handel's "Messiah!". The oratorio is, unfortunately, not often performed.

Probably a close second was "The Unashamed Accompanist" by Gerald Moore. This world-famous piano accompanist uses dry wit and many examples from Schubert Lied (art songs) to illustrate the problems that accompanists often face. It's hilarious!

KISS Alive II...about 2 years ago at a yard sale.

I bought it because of the live stage picture and the shot of Gene on the cover. Probably the best concert shot on any album, but then again, I'm biased.
