Don't discount Craigslist, either. Snagged some good ones off of there.
Also had good luck on eBay for harder to find ones. Just check the sellers feedback and what he rates the album.
What should I look for when purchasing a quality album?
So dumb it down for a newbie…
What should I look for when purchasing a quality album? A quality label? A quality recording and hopefully? well engineered? How wrong would it be to buy used albums? Is that the fun of it? Where are the Best places to shop online?I just bought a reasonably costly analog rig and I am started to collect vinyl.

@lewm , Hey, lewm. Myself, I don’t use the buy in bulk method. I anally inspect records like a jeweler inspects a diamond. Don’t want to see the slightest evidence of a scratch. Lucky to also have a terrific record store next town over in Mystic CT. Guy named Dan has been there for 40+ years. Was a session musician for some famous bands. Cool guy. Note to self: Next time don't bring wife with me. By the time she was done grabbing stuff my bill was higher than what I paid for my tt. |
@lewm , Yes, it’s called Mystic Disc. Little place stuffed with albums. If you’re planning to be in that area any time let me know and I’ll give you the scoop on which restaurants are the best, especially if you like oysters. Love Deep River! That whole area is gorgeous. Planning on making reservations on the Essex Steam Train for their Fall Dinner Excursion. Gotta get those tickets early. Funny, I was just up Rt.9 a couple days ago. I grew up in Preston.
