Brag About Your Vinyl Collection

Stones - Some Girls - Banned Cover…. 

Original Pressing - Pink Floyd - The Pulse.

This was purchased shortly after seeing the Concert Live at the Royal Albert Hall.

The Album remains unused, still in Cellophane and HMV Plastic Bag with the purchase receipt.

Similarly I have the original pressing of Roger Waters - Amused to Death.

Probably my most played Album since ownership and having tracks demo'd to many many with an interest in audio.   

I've been buying LPs (stereo mostly) since the mid-'60s. I'm not a completist or collector but among 17,000 records at one point, I had (and still have):

• about 45-50 original Vertigo Swirls, mostly UK, a few other countries;
• The Island pink label catalog for the most part, with multiple copies;
• a pretty nice collection of jazz, ranging from more obscure offerings on Strata-East to a fair number of private label recordings done during the "loft" scene in the '70s;
• All the standard rock warhorses, usually best pressings, but in many cases, I have easily a dozen pressings;
• with that "classic" rock category I would include numerous different Zep records; few of them were recorded well;
• I have thousands of classical records that I'm ashamed to don't listen to more: from an almost entire Lyrita and EMI ASD catalog and many Decca/Londons from England;
• lots of odd ball stuff, from a first pressing of Disgraceland by Elvis Hitler, to a a lot of rare stuff that you just cannot find on the market today.
• Most of the audiophile stuff- whether old MoFi, Direct to Disc from Sheffield goes unplayed, as do most other "demo" recordings. I have many. 

I dumped about 12,000 records before I left NY. In Texas, I brought around 5,000 and have selectively acquired various records since. My penchant for not buying is inflation in price and grading. I do have preferred suppliers, but they don't have some of the "one-offs."
