Still the greatest sounding music format there is!
Plus it feels great looking through vinyl, spinning vinyl, finding a great vinyl record etc.
Just thought I'd share what i was thinking, bit boring if you're not a vinyl enthusiast like myself though! :)
 
i was on garden leave most of last summer during which a mate and i decided to get all our old vinyls, decks and mixers out in his basement flat. it was magic. everything still sounded mint and every night people were piling round to have a go on the decks.

i still love vinyl and i miss flicking through records for hours on end on saturdays trying to find a gem. i never made the transition to cd decks, but i guess it came at a time when i was growing away from w*anking my evenings away mixing in my bedroom.

my missus took me to brighton a few weeks back and we went in search of the record shops i used to frequent down there.

looking back it seems crazy a few of you getting in a car to drive miles to a slightly cooler place to get possibly a slightly cooler tune.

some of my greatest (at the time) vinyl finds:

cosmos - take me with you (special because tom middleton was in the shop at the time)
silicone soul - right on right on
mojolators - drifting
thomas bangalter - together

countless old school hard house records on nukleuz, tripoli trax, tidy etc, a wedge of hooj and positiva stuff, white labels with a scrawl on them. really, really boring prog house records. tribal house when i was trying to copy steve lawler. 3 garage vinyls and a random selection of dnb (it was just a phase). what do you do with it all? never, ever sell it. much like i was forced to listen to ska by my parents - my kids will be treated to house on vinyl.

ah, nostalgia - it's not like it used to be.
 
together - still such a tune. Loved all that roule stuff and the silicone soul as well before they butchered it with the vocal

all my vinyl has to go. don't have space, don't have decks, don't have cash

most of them in crap nick or just represses so I'll get peanuts for them :?
 
I was actually going to start off a thread with regards to selling some of my old vinyl.

In short, my decks went about 2 years ago to some young hip hop junkie from Leigh. Since then I have not even bought a tune on vinyl, opting for the odd Beatport purchase ( probably a few hundred actually:cry:) to be mixed on some sh!te Gemini decks I bought used.

Apart from wishing i have never sold them, my only other problem is i have about 1000 twelves to offload (about 1/2 the collection). They are mainly from the 1996 to 2000 era.

Is it worth individual listing on ebay, job lot or maybe a trek to vinyl exchange? I would be keeping what I thought to be the good stuff. I have noticed that the prices on ebay dont seem to be that good since Mr Pioneer cornered the market.

Any ideas / advice :)?
