Ordered of Discogs for the first time. Popped open the box and this is what I see. Immediately assumed I got scammed but I lifted up the Herb and found my actual order. You almost had me Mr. Seller 🤝

Just showing off my latest find. The local junk shop provides yet again.

This is the part of my collection dedicated to Brazilian music (Bossa Nova, MPB, Brazilian Jazz): while most are 1960s and 1970s albums, I also have some more recent stuff (Sessa, Leonardo Marques, Ana Frango Elétrico).

I gotta be honest I think I def used up the rest of my luck for the month and/or year with these grabs from the thrift store today. White album is gorgeous and came with 2 posters. All four sides of the white album almost look never played but unfortunately “Imagine” had a pretty big scratch on side one but imma try to get it looking good

Straight from A24's shop, gonna listen to it later this week.

The Heart of Saturday Night (1974), Tom Waits’ second album, is influential because it refined his early style into a cohesive, atmospheric portrait of nocturnal American life—blending jazz, blues, and folk with precise, Kerouac-tinged songwriting about bars, highways, loneliness, and fleeting romance—while featuring standout tracks like the title song, “San Diego Serenade,” “Shiver Me Timbers,” and spoken-word pieces such as “Diamonds on My Windshield,” all elevated by Bones Howe’s clean production, a tight small-group sound with horns and upright bass, and Waits’ still-husky voice; it served as a mature bridge from the folkier Closing Time to his jazzier Asylum-era records.

A Los Angeles Times retrospective judgment said that The Heart of Saturday Night is “perhaps the singer’s most mature, ingenuous and fully realized” album, a view echoed by writers who call it an essential, foundational early masterpiece.

It's not my personal favorite of his, (an I'm a fan) but it was released 52 years ago today, so it is getting a pull and a spin from me this morning.

My full collection.

Just got the Record Doctor 11; it was definitely an impulse buy😬, but it works fantastically!

Picked up this whole box of records for just $10 CAD here in Canada!
I’m pretty new to vinyl collecting, so I honestly have no idea what half of these records are. 😅

I'm just curious if there's anyone who isn't a musician talking about how much they love their record collection. I know Elijah Wood absolutely has videos about his record collection.

I once completely f-cked my Spotify Warped over because of how many times I had listened to this album. It called me a cultist or some variation of that lol. I am comfortable admitting that it might be my favorite album, ever, although that's always a very hard pick to make in the absolute.

I haven't been collecting for very long (though we have a very large collection at home thanks to my partner) , yet ever since the beginning it was clear to me that this would be kind of my holy grail, but it had to be a first year US pressing, and in the best audio condition possible. Well I finally found it (rated Excellent, dated 1977) , and I'm just so happy and excited!!

Does anyone have a player that can play these?

Met up with the same seller from my last haul/post at the Kane County flea market just outside Chicago. The selection was pretty picked over, but his prices were lower (only $4 per record!) I was still able to find a few that I’ve been digging. Happy hunting!

Found a sealed copy of The Cryan Shames Synthesis. I’ve seen this inner sleeve advertising the posters a bunch but never with the order form still attached. I wonder how many of the posters survived.

Most of them I’ve never heard of/listened to but really happy with them after listening

Got my first record player at 16. My first two records were Fleetwood Mac and The Stranger by Billy Joel. I like all kinds of genres but I mostly listen to more recent music (#zoomer).
Most recent addition is the signed Mud by Remi Wolf album!
Most prized is my Boys Like Girls 10 Year Anniversary Tri Color pressing. It was a tour exclusive and hand numbered /500. They were my first favorite band as a kid :)

I (20M) have been really enjoying collecting records over the such a short time (my bank account hasn’t but it’s so worth it). Honestly it’s just so much fun interacting with my mates and having people pick records up off the wall.

Was just wondering if you record heads had any recommendations for my next purchase(es)! Looking to pick a few records up around Christmas so would be stoked to hear some rap/RnB/pop reco’s.

P.S. my favourite press on the last slide. Ended up picking up this blood records press because it just looked incredible, and imaginal disk has been one of my favs since it came out :D

Does anyone else find themselves appreciating the brief moment of silence in between when the last song on one side of a record stops and when you flip the record to the next side and drop the needle again? Every time I listen to my records, it’s always in this brief moment that I seem to recognize how calm and connected with the music I feel, almost like I’m in a meditative trance induced by what I’ve just heard. I’ve just been contemplating this unique feeling and I’m wondering if anyone else has felt the same.

Just picked this one up. So far I am very pleased with the pressing. Dead quite vinyl and dynamic mastering.

Rest in peace to the sensei

Joan Baez is my favorite saw these one day after another so I had to get

My dad was a pretty serious record collector from the 60s into the 80s, and recently he brought me this absolute gem.

It's an original pressing gatefold with a 24 page color booklet and opaque yellow vinyl in flawless condition. It sounds amazing, and yes, we are absolutely spinning this beauty!

Cameron Picton from “black midi” and his new project “my new band believe”. Awesome complicated music. Beautiful release on red #vinyl
