I just got a "modern" record player for a bunch of old vinyls my uncle gave me. I've got all sorts of music. There's a couple Queen albums, Jan and Dean, The Eagles, even Carole King's "Tapestry" album.

I bought one like that too about a year ago, an Audiotronic. Not the greatest but it'll do for now. The appeal was that it had a built in pre amp. For a while I had a great setup with a Sony turntable but it died on me after having it for 8 years. My ambition is to one day have a complete top to bottom vintage stereo gear setup.

I have all kinds of music too, some rare and semi rare stuff. I just recentley got the Ramones' It's Alive which was only released in double album form in the U.K. I have a nearly complete Who collection, I'm just missing It's Hard which I refuse to spend over four dollars on and a vinyl pressing of Endless Wire which I'd have to special order from somewhere.

I got a Crosley record player for my birthday last year. It's a decent system. It looks really nice, but the turntable doesn't have a tone adjuster, and the sound isn't the best. I keep meaning to hook some actual speakers up to it, but I haven't gotten around to it.

I also have a Technics turntable hooked up to my stereo, which I love.

I have maybe only like 20 records.

oh man..I wish I had a functioning record player...I have an original LP of Sgt. Peppers Lonley Heart Club band, I also have Iron Butterfly's "In a gada da vida".....ARG! And I found R.E.M.'s first album, Murmur, (released in 1982) on LP!!! It's killing me!

Records are cool and I have also a battery operated fisher price record player from 1983 with the ac adaptor.

Wanted: Charmer Your Presence Requested LP 1976 or 1977.

You're awesome! I think vinyl still rocks. There's just something about those records that will always keep me coming back......the smell, the sound of the needle as it rests on the record, the hissing and popping, oh yeah and even the small areas where the record may have warped a bit causing the song to sound weird. Ahhhhhh the memories of good ole' vinyl. They have been a huge part of my life; especially during my childhood.

Okay, soooooo I've done my sentimental reminiscing for now. But yeah, I used to listed to 45's all the time growing up. My parents bought me a small vintage cabinet-style stereo system for Christmas a few years back. It has a turntable, a tape deck and a CD player. I think I would have died if I didn't have a turntable in my house.

I raided the 45 bins at Slavation Army for a while, mostly I didn't see anything great but I did manage to find a mono Hendrix single, an original Vertigo label Thin Lizzy single, David Bowie Space Oddity backed with the title track off Man Who Sold the World (how great a pairing is that?) and a bunch of Stones ones. I have a few I bought at used record stores too, I have the North American version of the Who's Substitute where they made Roger sing the line "I tried walking forward but my feet walk back" in place of the line "I look all White but my dad was Black."
