My record collection thus far, any suggestions?
>>65135218
>any suggestions?
Suicide.
Idk why it uploaded upside down
>>65135218
is this like your second day on /mu/ ?
>stacking records
kys my man wait till you have two crates at least to show off your fucking collection
my suggestion would be to throw your fucking crosley out pleb
physical format is for plebs
>>65135295
I'm just starting out
>>65135218
I suggest not laying records flat and getting better taste in music
what kind of suggestions were you looking for?
>>65135308
I'm laying them flat for the picutre, and what would you recommend, since clearly I should kill myself and I'm looking for a nice song to go out to.
1) stop stacking your records
2) The Wall? Seriously?
Currents is shit
Plastic Beach is ok
The Wall is the worst PF album from the 67-79 era
The Doors is Good
Sun Araw is ok sometimes
Don't know the others but you should kill youself tho
>>65135340
Laying a stack of them flat for 3 seconds is all it takes to fuck them up
First of all, don't lay your records flat, they will warp under the weight. Secondly, what is the pink one?
>>65135377
This is all yours by alt j, it was a gift from my sister, the records are orange and blue
Here's another shot
>currents
At least get their other albums (aka the ones that arent shit)
>>65135491
I have lonnerism but not on lp
You can't be older than 16.
>>65135471
Mostly fuck /mu/.
Your collection is sweet.
Keep growin it out bro <3
I've been collecting for a few years.
>>65135559
Thanks for the encouragement, my father has a box of records he left for me when he passed, I have yet to go through them.
>>65135559
I hope I'm being trolled right now my friend. Someone with that many records should know better
>>65135471
>>65135559
What's the point of having records without a serious HiFi?
>>65135642
Know better to what
>>65135218
Summer please leave.
>>65135642
OH RIGHT
That was a gift.
My Technics is setting on top of the crosley. I use it for cassettes lol
>>65135663
To literally shred your vinyl with that cheap-ass all-in-one heavy-tracking Crosley. You;'re not just wasting money buying those records, you're actively destroying them.
>>65135218
what a bunch of assholes, I think your collection is a good start, why don't you get helplessness blues anon?
also when will the "currents is bad xD meme" will end?
>>65135708
lol my bad
>>65135603
Hopefully he has better taste, he is probably rolling in his grave with what you have there.
>Pride
>>65135643

>>65135731
It's a Technics SLB-something. @work right now
>>65135754
I dunno he liked Zeppelin and the smiths
>>65135803
Literally fuck what mu spits at you. You can't mention your dad without people cracking fucked up jokes.
What else do you listen to?
>>65135754
what the fuck man
>>65135218
are you experienced and 130 copies of dark side of the moon
>>65135786
I got the audio-technica lp120 as a gift, but I've been looking for a decently priced technics for years. The built-in preamp on the 120 apparently still affects the sound even when you try to bypass it
Why are you asking us for suggestions? Just buy music you like, it's not that difficult.
>>65135973
The music I like is shit apparently so anything pointing me in the right direction would be much abliged
>>65135951
That low end trash technics is nothing to write home about.
Your LP120 is better.
Look at the tonearm, it's crap
>>65136011
This is the entire definition of pleb right here. Go home, folks.
>>65135951
Is there no way to bypass the built-in amp?
>>65136019
What i'm saying is that I've been looking for a technics sl1200 because i've bought into that meme. They're apparently restarting production this year
>>65136068
>asking for opinions
>asking for music recommendations
>pleb
How
>>65136078
From what I understand the sound still goes through the built-in chip even when you switch to line mode, but i'm not sure if that's just audiophile bullshit. People have been removing the board entirely and just soldering the two wires together
>>65136100
sl1200 is nothing special for home listening.
>real collection right herr
>>65135218
You've got a great little collection there friend.
The Doors, Plastic Beach and The Wall are all great albums
Please don't listen to most of the people on here, they listen to obscure shit by themselves to brag on an anonymous Japanese image board
Sorry to hear about your dad, you should go through his records and listen to all of them, give everything a chance! The Smiths are an amazing band.
If you like Pink Floyd, maybe try out Aphrodite's Child - 666
>>65136011
Visit some of the chart threads and go through some /mu/core. Find what you enjoy and expand from there

Also, don't stack your records

The fucking hotline Miami memes have grown tiresome but yeah, I like his old stuff I've only got beachead on lp though
>>65135229
Yeah, the Suicide album is pretty good. I recommend it too
>>65136533
>Also, don't stack your records
Temporarily stacking just a few records is fine. It's when you store them like that that they warp

I got most of these from my grand parents and they're pretty beat up.
I have em (sort of) organized by quality.
Top Left are Used Med+ Quality.
Top Right are Reissues.
Bottom Left are all 80's Metal records, Med+ Quality.
Bottom Right are Soft Rock, Med- Quality.
I also have a couple milk crates of classical guitar records, my grandfather was really into classical 10 and 12 sting guitar records. but I haven't gone through them yet.
>>65135603
I got most of my collection from my dad too, lot of cool stuff but its fun to go digging for stuff on your own. dont let these guys discourage you, have fun growing your collection
>>65135491
There is literally nothing wrong with Currents

The definition of patrician is listening to music you enjoy and not letting others discourage your taste. This is a fact.
>>65137359
but is asking for new music to listen to "pleb-ish"
is it wrong to search for new things? is being open minded in any way a sin?
>>65137452

No.
If I buy an album, it comes with a download code. If it doesn't, though, it's pretty easy to get a decent quality download while I wait.
It's the convenience of CDs, and the quality of vinyl.
>>65139252
Getting shit used is god-tier. Sometimes I feel like I'm the only person to go through used CD sections in record stores because shit is so good.
>>65135754
god damn
My last batch.
Not to be morbid, but I'm going to end up with my father's more 'classic rock' collection when he goes, so I don't buy a lot of records I'd consider staples, since he has 'em already.
>>65135559
No one gives the Toadies what they deserve.
Good choice.
>>65135643
Why get tapes for such big bands?
>>65139564
That's a little better.
Any reason at all for the tapes, save for the cost? Just shit quality, as far as I'm concerned. And as we get further into the future, you're gonna see less cars with a tape player.
>>65135265
>>65135218
>>65139694
Most tapes I buy are just to get something physical out of supporting bandcamp artists or small labels. Most I have spent on a tape is $5. Only Tape I have bought new that wasn't a small artist was the might mighty bosstones. That was just to get free shipping on interpunk though.
>>65135951
You should be able to bypass it and wire the tonearm leads right to the rca jacks. I picked up a pro-ject debut III USB with a burned out preamp for $100 on eBay, removed the USB board and desoldered the rca jack from the board and soldered the tonearm wires directly to it. Works perfectly, fixed it in 15 minutes.
>>65135559
Wow toadies is my shit! That brings me back! Thanks for reminding me to check out an old favorite!
>>65139773
Gotcha.
Ended up with Sledding With Tigers' 'Come on and Slam' that way.
>>65139593
fair enough. i buy physical music more to collect than to have some advantage over digital music. honestly, i can't hear a difference anyways.
>>65139595
yeah man you can usually find some gems in used cd sections. also, used cd's on amazon get down to under a dollar most of the time. all you have to pay for is shipping
>>65135491
They're all shit tho
>>65139553
good score with demon days. whats the bottom left?
>>65135295
>Two crates
Try two rooms.
And a storage unit.
>>65139867
>. i buy physical music more to collect than to have some advantage over digital music
Oh, so do I, but if I'm gonna sit there and fuck around with a CD, I might as well sit there and fuck around with a record.
Really, the only reason not to is
A) Price point (Though it depends on what you're into. I don't mind spending around ten bucks for a new record.)
B) Convenience (But again, with the MP3 downloads, you have all the 'versatility' a CD affords you.)
>>65135648
Dat Marantz...
>>65139595
I've found tons of good CDs at goodwill recently, people seem like they have really stepped up dumping their collections, can't go wrong for under $2
>>65135648
What turntable is that? Looks nice. Also nice marantz.
>>65139827
I've got that one in there. Good stuff.
>>65139867
For sure. Basically the first place I check at a new record store is the used CDs. I'll take a chance on a lot of stuff for $1-2 an album.
>>65135218
Give them away lmao.
>>65139943
People are dumping their CD collections without checking to see what they have first. Just like LP and single releases back in the day, there's a good amount of music on CD that hasn't been on the market for quite some time.
Sucks to be them.
>>65139943
are they good condition? I've kinda held off on buying LPs and CDs from goodwill for fear of it all being warped or scratched
>>65136574
>dr. seuss
sick collection dude
>>65140055
The ones around here all have the discs in the cases so you can check them out before buying. The recently gave up keeping the discs behind the counter, which makes it nice.
>>65140055
You can check in the store if it is anything like mine. I don't think I've seen a store lock up used goods aside from half price books. Just open them up and check.
>>65135365
are you retarded? Maybe if he stacked 100 records, not 5

there are like two songs that are god tier but then the rest of the record is unbearably shit.
>>65136592
It was like $5 at a used record store and I saw people talking about it on /mu/. I think I listened to the first song then turned it off

I've been having similar problems with finding Neil Young's works. I found a Buffalo Springfield album once, but never anything from his solo career. Harvest was the best-selling album of 1972 in the States -- why can't I at least find that?
>>65142386
>Chronological order
You're the best
nice boc collection, been meaning to get tomorrow's Harvest on vinyl
>>65135218
Snap Plastic Beach in half and get the S/T instead.
>>65135218

>>65142432
I'm the proud owner of trans by Neil young, that's all I've found tho
I've got like around 80 or so
>>65142432
I see Neil Young stuff pretty often around here, found my copy of Harvest for $4 at a local record shop. Too bad there isn't a way to setup a /mu/ wanted vinyl list to swap records easily.

YO DONT TALK SHIT ON CURRENTS
its different i get it
its different and an obvious shift in creative direction that could have definitely alienated some fans
BUT DONT TALK SHIT ON CURRENTS
>>65135218
I think the beauty of vinyl and something that i would recommend to you is that it is so much easier to find older gems.
When I first started using vinyl when I was 14 and had been given my friend's dad's old Neil Young records, I started hanging out at record stores and really digging through everything from 60's french pop singers like the lovely Françoise Hardy to 70's R&B like Isaac Hayes or Bobby Womack. Just go out and get outside of your comfort zone. It gets personal with stuff that's a lot older.
>>65142734
it's not a shift in creative direction. it's a shift away from creative direction. not to say their other albums were particularly creative either
didn't realize how good my collection was until i looked at this thread...
>>65142794
All I do is buy albums based on the cover
>>65142867
>doesn't post collection
>>65135218
fuck these guys, dont feel bad op just for being new.
also, there aren't any "Essential" albums that any record collector needs, just collect whatever music you're into.
>>65142386
ay i got that same edition of the black parade. with the etching on the d side right?
>>65142844
Shift away from creative direction? I can totally get that its not your speed but right out the gate the very first track is pretty goddamn dynamic.
They switched sound pretty heavily and did pretty well doing so. If it were a shift away from creative direction they'd be pushing the same john lennon with reverb like tenfold
>>65142978
yeah! black parade was shamelessly huge for me in highschool. great band
>>65135643
>tfw twin infinitives cassette
can you still get those?

>>65142920
would post but i recently got foot surgery and cant move, no shit. probably around 200 records. almost entirely jazz, maybe 50 classical and like 20 pop/rock records if its a disc im really in to.
>>65143025
HELL no haha they never got reissued!
I've had a daily "royal trux" ebay search emailed to my phone for the past 4 years til I found ONE listing of a cassette. And I had to buy it in a crate of Barbera Streisand and Springsteen tapes to get it. Completely worth it to me though it's my white whale album <3

Play Wall and Doors a few times then trade them in for credit:
I see you sort of like "arty" records, but try this:
last record day, columbia put out a double live Big Star album recorded in 1993 at Mizzou. Get it. You will hear everything you will ever need to know about songrcraft, esp as they play two Todd Rundgren covers.
Pick up Animals and Wish you were here by Pink Floyd
Frances the Mute by Mars Volta (or all of them really, but we are trying things on for size right now, right?
Smokin' or Live at the Fillmore by Humble Pie
Village Green Preservation Society by the Kinks
Walk don't run by the Ventures
Otis Redding live at the Whiskey
Let it Bleed by Rolling Stones (or Its Only Rock and Roll) Most people will tell you Exile on Main Street, but these two rock way better. Plus, they book end the best RS lineup - the one with Mick Taylor. He starts on Gimme and its only rnr is his last
Suede by Suede
this is my Trth now tell me yours, by manic Street Preachers
Anything by New Mastersounds for when you just want to groove.
I like some good stoner metal, but thats up to you. I'd say Warpriders by the Sword or the Windhand album.
Early Fleetwood Mac with Peter Green and/or Bob Welch
That shoudl spread it about, but pretty much completely misses the late 70's and 80's. I'd mostly stick to the punk end from that era, though...oh wait, King Crimson did soem good stuff then and Blondie's Parallel Lines is a classic.
All the best.
>>65143317
Oh fuck, i almost forgot to add machine Head and/or In Rock by Deep Purple. Ritchie Blackmore is a true gutar god.
>>65143193
??
>>65143150
Trane live at temple, love supreme, concert by the sea, playing by old and new dreams, some nasty paul bley, OG graceland paul simon, OG zeppelin 4, monks dream, state of the tenor, OG rastaman vibrations, OG unit structures, more bach tchaikovsky, stravinsky, and bartok then i know what to do with including some OG's of stuff like rite of spring, count meets duke, OG grateful dead europe 72 by the dead OG in memory of elizabeth reed allman brothers, some OG weather report , OG beach boys all summer long, a ton of ornette coleman, some albert ayler, good amount of paul bley. thats alot of it, lot of random shit too. oh and methenys bright size life.

oh my bad man, i didnt quite catch why you posted the ?, i saw that jack bruce and will probably check it out. another one of my rock discs is disraeli gears and i really love jack bruce. you should check out a jazz opera called escalator over the hill by carla bley, its long so maybe start with rawalpindi blues, Bruce sings and plays beatifully on it and jon mcclaughlin rips it up. a huge number of some of the best musicians of all time are featured on it.
>>65143806
Thanks man, huge McLaughlin and mahavishnu fan
>>65143744
It's a Music Hall mmf-5, had it for 10+ years and still works like new. The oil is Mobile 1 synthetic for platter the bearing. Anyone who owns a Music Hall or Pro-ject should clean the bearing every so often and add new oil, keeps it whisper quiet.
