I started collecting almost 3 years ago when I kept popping into a record store @waxandbeans. Couldnt afford a decent turntable until recently though so I waited. Money was all over the place so I bought and sold but Ive got back all the ones I sold. For me its a combination of the sound quality and The local community on it.
But what got you into Vinyl ?
Old enough to have them in the house growing up. Records, 8 tracks, and cassettes. Most of which I still have. I started buying my own as a young teen when I saw a rare red Creeping Death/Jump in the Fire record a friend had. As well as a Shout at the Devil picture disc. I naively though they all were and went out and bought my own, or so I thought. But I loved the huge artwork. I loved using the old all on one unit that used to dominate the living room and now hand-me-downed to me.
Fast forward through the 90s and 2ks. I just kinda starting digging them back out and spinning from time to time. Then I got into thrift stores. Eventually I started buying new releases and still do sporadically if I really like a band. Mostly metal with some jazz thrown in.
