Album collections
Been busy getting together some albums I used to have back in Blighty that I left behind, mostly because they were beer stained and scratched to kucf
mostly been searching kijiji and Facebook Marketplace. Yes I could order everything on CD from Amazon, but it’s about the chase, and I want the older versions and anyhow The Wall is unavailabile on Amazon at this time.
anyone else collecting anything
cant upload my pic so don’t matter umph !!

Re: Album collections
Tragically Hip !!!! You have assimilated 
Sorry..I couldn't resist. The Hip is a band I just can't get into....Bob Seger and the Eagles rub me the same way.
You can't go wrong with Dark Side of the Moon or Animals although I think Wish you were here is my favourite.

Re: Album collections
I have it on CD but I gather you're looking for the vinyl.
I was in a small craft brewery a couple of days ago in Carleton Place and they have an area where you can sample the products. Wish you were here was playing as they have a turntable and you can make requests while you're having a beer. They had Sgt Pepper so I had to ask for Within you Without You as I was suppin' me pint.

Re: Album collections
I'm grumpy that my Queen records were "borrowed" in Nigeria- I mean no one even has a record player out there so WTF?
Most of my collection is still intact though.

Re: Album collections
I picked up another wall album and meddle.
10$ each, I was going to buy wish you were here but it had sold so I went to look at these even tho I have already, I thought maybe could do a flip
however when I got them home, one is a 1979 USA first issue wall album, the other is a Japan pressing for Meddle, no flip, for the sake of 20$ I will keep them just because I want to lol

Re: Album collections
Gave away a large box of vynl dating back to the early '60'' to a great nephew who is well into this media of yesteryear, including WYWH and many others. Had been gathering dust in a box in the basement for years. Now they see the light of day and are played and appreciated once more....and the beat goes on.... Now what to do with a few hundred cd's, rarely played these days, having been ripped to mp3/4 format and living in a couple of iPods, backed up on to a number of hard drives

Re: Album collections
Have all my albums from the 80's. All in pristine condition. Bought a turntable a few years ago, but it didn't get much use as listening for 22 mins at a time is infuriating now. Nevertheless, nice to have as an artefact. Good selection Magnum.
