I bought my first album (a Johnny Cash Sun Records best of collection) off a TV ad circa 1968 or so. BEfore that, my sister's had some around the house that I spun more than they.
TOday I have 5 bookshelves worth (not sure how many that is), more than I have time to listen to, but modest size compared to many.
I will buy almost anything that is in good condition and promises to sound good on vinyl these days for 50 cents or a buck or so when I see opportunities at yeard sales, flea markets, Goodwill, etc. I mostly go for older titles from teh "golden age", 50s-early 70s, from the time before I started collecting myself that I had overlooked for many years. A $30 investment or less (the price of less than 2 new CDs often these days) can yield a bounty of good sounds to soak in. Life is good!
