So we have a thread for folks to post their CDs and things, but anyone a collector of vinyl records? I'm quite an extensive collector myself and I spend far more than I should on my quite large collection. So yeah, post pics here of your collections, new additions, favourites, wants etc. Might just be me in this thread, but hey, there ya go ;)


Anyway, these are the latest 8 additions to my collection. All came in the post this morning. The Linkin Park one and the Funeral for a Friend are both quite rare pressings. The rest are pretty standard I think.

A few days ago I got the much coveted,by me at least "instant classic" by the notsensibles. Snotty snail records,1980.

Off the top of my head,I have:

Dave vanian and the phantom chords-" Johnny remember me" 12 " single

Ian Dury and the blockheads- "common as muck"/ "reasons to be cheerful" 7"

The stranglers- "get a grip" /"waltz in black" 7"

Crashed out/The Templars -split 7" (red and orange vinyl)

Op Ivy- "hectic ep"

Op Ivy-" energy/hectic compilation" (picture disc . Rancid records reissue )

Buzzcocks- "going steady. The singles" (reissue 150 gram)

Public image limited- "live in Tokyo"

We've got a fuzz box and we're gonna use it-"rules and regulations. " ( one side has music. The other side has etched pictures of the girls.)

The clash- "Bankrobber " 7"
The clash- "should I stay or should I go?" 7"

Minor threat-"complete discography" (reissue. Green vinyl)

Circle jerks-....some album of theirs. (Reissue. Clear blue vinyl)

Jello Biafra-"machine gun in the clowns hand"
Jello Biafra-" die for oil,sucker"

Wesley Willis-"greatest hits. Vol 1"

The timelords-"doctorin the tardis"

Alien sex fiend-"who's been sleeping in my brain?"

The orphans- ...some 7"

The dirty looks-....some album.

Herb Albert and the Tijuana brass- "south of the border."

"Do they know its Christmas?"

Captain sensible- a promo only album. Has "property of ....some record company." Stamped on it.


I Know I left out many 7"s.c

This is everything I've got at my own place just now. I also have so so many 70s and 80s metal records that my dad has given me, but I've not yet brought them from my parents' house to my own. He probably has three times as many as this there, with some real gems of first presses from Motorhead, Maiden and Sabbath in particular.

As you can see from this, I'm a big fan of coloured vinyls and picture discs. And I now have records all over my bedroom floor lol.

awesomest cover art ever.

My mother used to have a few badass vinyls. The Monkees album was my favorite. She also had The Lovin' Spoonful, The Fifth Dimension, and a Mamas and the Papas record.

thanks! i ended up getting a lot more. the house i moved into had a box full of vinyl. most of it is 50's and early 60's big band music and stuff like sinatra.

The colour of the pressing on Billy's album is absolutely stunning, big big fan of that green.

Folk music is really interesting. Even this can refresh mind all the time. I really love those.

Only really started delving into vinyl about four years ago, so this is a topic that I never took part in at the time of posting. I've built a decent sized collection but I'm not what you'd consider a serious collector and I can't claim to have an extensive knowledge of the vinyl world. I tend to go through spells where I'll get carried away with purchases for a month or two and then nothing for four or five months.
I don't just limit myself to things that I know I like and prefer to take a chance on something I might be unfamiliar with. In the list below, there's around thirty or forty or so that are handed down from the older generation but mostly these are my own purchases. I also subscribe to a monthly vinyl subscription service which can sometimes be hit or miss, mostly been sent some great stuff though.

For reference, my music taste as a teenager was the 2000's pop-punk/emo era (there's weirdly very little of that in the collection) and as I got older went into older 70's rock/singer-songwriter stuff like Springsteen, Dylan, The Rolling Stones etc. which is probably where my tastes tend to lean more towards now. In terms of current purchasing trends, I'm trying to add a little more modern 2010's mainstream stuff to the collection, I've noticed that 2010 to 2020 era of pop-music translates a little better to vinyl than I may have gave that era of music credit for at the time (could just be me, but let me know if you agree), feel like I've missed out on some pretty interesting stuff so I'm sort of looking into that era more at the moment with my recent purchases.

Anyway, I've spent the morning sorting through and updating my discogs account and thought it would be interesting to bring this back. I blame BrownSugar for giving me the bug again after showing some of his creations for his upcoming vinyl store in the RP section. But yeah, here's the list. I've tried to add some details to the records that aren't just the standard releases. There are things in this list that I wouldn't say I was necessarily a fan of (handed down, freebies, subscription stuff) and as always with these things, I really don't have an extensive knowledge as a listener or purchaser so go easy and any helpful hints/tips are always welcome;
