I have a player and about 30 records, from 1945 to 1990. :)

I have a player and about 500 records, most of which are 12" singles and K-Tel (and similar) compilations

I've got a few I still play. :)

Sure, I still enjoy playing records from time to time.  :)

Nah, I still have a turntable, but sold all my records a few years back (including all my Beatle records and some were on APPLE as well)

Actually, the only record I still have is a 1973 or 1974 K-TEL album that's still on the turntable coz I threw away the jacket.

I still have my old records but I don't have a turntable. 

I've still got several thousand of the things that have followed me over the years, but I rarely, if ever, play them (thanks to the miracles of mp3 and the like!)

There will come a time when I'll flog the lot (I'm just waiting for the day when people have more money than sense once again!  ;))

I don't play records anymore,even though my father has very old 45's and vinyls,he just keeps it in the basement.

I do not poccess a turntable and stylis but do have a cassette player and was listening to some the other day.

btw, I still have my vinyl singles and albums.

I gots two turntables and a microphone...

Oh, and about 2,000 records.


Yes, I still play them.  Even on my show, which is on tomorrow night at 10 PM Eastern on Renegade Retro 8)

I would play them if I had a turntable and my records.  They're both in the UK still

alas, I've only got about about ten 45's and maybe 40-50  LP's but I do still play the LPs a couple times a month 

We still play records

I do, but only for those I don't have on CD. I don't like the sound as much unless it's an album produced in the early '70s or earlier: They tended to sound too thin and the hiss/warmth of the record fills it out.

I'm thinking about going to Rasputin's Records in Berkeley and see if they have any used records for sale that i might wanna buy, although I think there may be one in Vallejo too, but then I'd have to pay $4 to cross the bridge  >:( 

No,I listen to CDs.

  Yeah...four bucks.  Screw that...

  Rasputin has a modest selection of vinyl, new and old, and new-old.  Before last Christmas I picked-up a reissued KISS Alive and REM Document...

  Take a drive to Berkeley and check out Amoeba Music.  Wow..! :o

Yes.

I should go out and buy some records, if Rockzone ever opens after relocating :D

Not any more,I'm moving on.

Too bad.  :D  For me, there's something about the sound quality and the ability to manipulate that sound on Technics SL1200 turntables.  I have a dual CD player for DJing but it doesn't have all the features that would give me the same feel as manipulating vinyl.

Does it still work?

Does it still work?

Yes it does.

When my grandpa died in 2007, I got some of his records (you know, the ones that interested me...) There are tons of jazz records in his collection, so most of the jazz I listen to is on vinyl. I don't mind it, because the warmth of vinyl works better on jazz recordings than rock. Although I wish I could put these things on my Zune...

Yes it does.


Does it play as good as it sounds?

It's not a CD.

Yup, snap crackle and pop at times.

Not this K-Tel album.

I sold some Beatles albums a few years ago, got about 75 bucks for them.

Um, I think the Only 70's album was "Let it be" and the "Double Red" and "Double Blue" albums that came out in 1973, as a Greatest hits package.

McCartney was deeply dissatisfied with Spector's treatment of "The Long and Winding Road" and unsuccessfully attempted to halt release of Spector's version of the song. McCartney publicly announced the break-up on 10 April 1970, a week before releasing his first solo album, McCartney.

Very much debatable on that.

I agree with Philip. They were 4 guys going in different directions (getting married, starting a family, etc..)
It was already evedent (that things weren't FAB) in the White Album after the boys returned from India

Very much debatable on that.

The late Allen Klein

McCartney continued to distrust Klein, though admitting to him at one point "If you are screwing us, I don't see how." Following their informal agreement to split in late 1969, he eventually sued the other three Beatles for what he called "a divorce," and the Beatles as a business unit came to an end. McCartney has stated he chose to legally dissolve the Beatles rather than allow Klein to milk and diminish their artistic legacy.

Yes downstairs in the basement and they smell from oldness.

I bought a GE Wildcat Record Player at the flea market a couple months ago. It needed a needle so I got one off ebay and darned if that record player doesn't play excellent!  I got out my record case and started playing all my old 45s, it was a hoot! It doesn't have the adapter thingy so I had to buy some of those yellow spacers. I love it. Just another one of my kitschy flea market finds.  I still have all of my Beatles albums and solo albums. I'd never part with those. I have a nice little collection of Beatles memorabilia also.

One day we could be playing his records.

Heck yeah I play records. I collect them as a hobby. I also like to collect record players, old radios, tape players, and other assorted vintage audio.   8)
I have 2 crank up record players but they're  not victrolas. They,re some off-brands like Birch and Northrome.

so do you also have a suitcase type phonograph of the 60's

so do you also have a suitcase type phonograph of the 60's


Yeah i have 2 RCAs. one from the 50s or early 60s. Works with tubes and has alligator casing. but it needs a lot of work. (the part of the spindle for 33 and 16rpm speed is broken off and needs a new needle ect.)  And another one from the 70s, a white one. and that one needs a new needle.  :(
And they both have (had) that 16rpm speed. I've never seen a 16rpm record before.

I have no courage to sell any of them neither.

When I got married long long ago, I ordered a heap of LP's to start in our after-wedding house the way we wanted to.

Those I had listened to in the radio and I loved, now there were spinning around in the living room.

Nowadays they sleep in a furniture, and I don't dare ever thinking in sell them.
Yes they are just memories lingering on ::)

I got no option  8)

We one day might play my Father's records but we never know how It'll sound after years of not playing it.

Here's my turntables:

My parents had a couple of records played at 16 rpm.

It's also good for a laugh playing other records at different speeds.

They had a Dansette like this one, but theirs had legs rather than the table top version shown here

Good Lord! Looks like Mission Control!  :o

My set-up (as was, in the days of steam-powered turntables!) was a fraction of this, but probably weighed just as much, if not more!  :D

I vividly remember playing Lee Marvin's 'Wand'rin' Star' at 16rpm...otherwordly, and a little bit unsettling!

Do you know I think we did that as well!

Pinky and Perky singles played at 78rpm are also funny!

I think it was an unwritten rule for anyone with a 16rpm speed option!

Some of the sounds I hear coming out of people's iPods on the train sound remarkably like this!  ::)

;D

I don't even use the cassette deck and rarely use the CD burner underneath it anymore.  Mission control is fed into my PC and I record mixes directly to MP3 and if I burn them on to CD I run the MP3 file through Adobe Audition so I can index the tracks.

If I ever do mobile work I'm just lugging the mixer/CD console.  Too much trouble to lug two turntables and records everywhere. :P

Wow,that's a cool turntable.  :)

I play records constantly as I love analogue :)

I have many 78s and 1 80rpm edison record which I listen to on my Crosley player and it sounds goregous!! (Its not that loud as the needle is too small to get the whole groove but it sounds good still)

No unfortunately I don't.

I tried to recently but I don’t think we have the right needle for our system.
