i totally agree. but i wouldnt pay 50 quid or whatever for some record im not gonna play, id rather hunt through thousands of records at second hand stores looking for bargains :) |
||||||||

I paid the recommended rate for a record as fine as that. I would play it though. I'm a collector not a horder. Every record I buy is for playing. Although that one I will play less admittedly as I have the other J9. It's not money to burn actually. I'm 21 soon and I have some bonds that mature. I was going to get a computer with the money but my Mum said I should get something special. To me a rare record is special. |
||||||||

|
|
come of it! you'll play it once and thats it! so how much did you pay for it then? |
||||||||

all good records are special. it doesn't have to be rare. all good records are investments anyway, as all the purchases of aphex twin, autechre, skam, dj shadow, etc.etc. when they originally released have proved to be. i've been told to catalogue all my records by my insurance company and as i've got about 1500 its taking forever, wish i'd never told them. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i update my list as i go along. do you have specific insurance for your records then? |
||||||||
|

i told them i had several thousand pounds worth of records and because it not 1 item, like a necklace or something, they want me to list all individual records and to photograph them. fuck the photos though that'll make the spreadsheet massive. i've done 200 so far. thats taken me ages. |
||||||||

I paid $200. You're mistaken if you think I'll only play it once. I really will play it quite a bit. lizardfister: 1500, woah! That's a lot of records. I haven't counted mine for a while. I can't even remember what the last count came to but it was only in the 100's. I haven't hit the 1000's yet. I know that. I'm about to go through mine soon actually. Catalogue them and chuck out all the shit I bought years ago when i was trying to build up my records so I could practice mixing. I may borrow the digital camera from work and take pictures of each one to prove I have it. |

maybe i'll keep my mouth shut then! :) sometimes i get piss scared somethings gonna happen to them but i don't live in rusholme or fallowfield or somewhere so they wont get nicked. ive been thinking of trying to make an estimate of how much theyre all worth but i it seems an impossible task. how would you start? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
if i had paid that money for that record i wouldve bought it its own special casing with sensor alarm! ;) |
||||||||
|
|

|

i haven't counted i'm guessing it could be more than that. its nothing in comparison to some people i know. mr scruff and treva whateva (ninja tune boys) have got around 20,000 and 8,000 respectively. mind you we are 10 years older than you giginger so you have plenty of time to catch up with us. |

You're opinion is valid. I suppose the best way to start is to go through each record and see if you can remember what you paid for it. I can more or less remember give or take a few quid here and there. More so with my eBay purchases. Lizardfister: Forgot to reply about the specialness of records. You're right when you say that it's not the rarity of a record that makes it special. But in this case it is for me. I've been trying to get this one for a while and I've finally managed. It's the same with my Prodigy - What Evil Lurks that I managed to get. I don't just enjoy the music. I love hunting it down and trying to get it. My most prized record though is my Commodores one. It's got Machine Gun on it and I'd been trying to get a copy of that for so long that it's now very special to me. |

Good idea....... :D Lizard: I don't know what I'll do if I ever have that many records. |

i used to get scared about them getting nicked because i live somewhere only slighly better than fallowfield. but at the end of it there are more important things in life. anyway, the thief will have to spend ages picking out the ones that are worth the most and he'll have to have impecable taste. i'd probably have a sneaking admiration if he just pulled out the records that are worht the most. do you live in manchester then earthleakage? as a start i've said on average they are worth £10 each to allow for the ones that are crap - its a start anyway otherwise you could spend forever trying to value them all. either that or get the vinyl exchange boys in to value it pretending you are going to sell it all to them! |

you will, you're caught in the trap! its too late now! :) |

What a trap though hey? |

no i live near nottingham but i used to go to manchester to visit friends in rusholme, fallowfield & levenshulme on a regular basis. never went record shopping there though. |
||||||||
|

|
|
worship them. |

i went through my cd buying period but i was young and naiive. now ive gone back to vinyl after being on a 50/50 diet for while. christ i sound like some kinda drug addict. |
||||||||
|

fantastic record shops in manchester. thats possibly the best thing about it. don't know much about nottingham though. theres a few good shops in leicester though - picked up a copy of bradleys beat for £1.99 there. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
am i strange or do you enjoy watching them go round and round in circles too? :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it is a drug. have you seen scratch? if you haven't i recommend you do. the quantity of vinyl in shadows local shop is insane. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

nottingham is ok but not brilliant. and the vip record fairs now avoid nottingham like the plague because the turnout used to be so poor. there's a nice shop in loughborough which isnt far away called the left-legged pineapple, i think theyve got their own website. sorry, don't know leicester at all, but its only 45 minutes drive so i may check it out sometime. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i prefer listening to them! but watching is good. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
whats 'scratch'? i meant at the same time! ;) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Selectadisc used to be really good. Don't know what it's like now, been a while since I've been back to Nottingham |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
have you seen scratch? I need to see that! am i strange or do you enjoy watching them go round and round in circles too? :) I like to do that too :D i went through my cd buying period but i was young and naiive. We've all done that sir. Although I mainly buy vinyl, I still get the odd CD every noe and then if it's something I don't want to mix with/isn't on vinyl. worship them. My girlfriend think I'm the only one who is so dedicated to spending my money on vinyl. |

scratch is a documentary history of hiphop. take you from grand wizard theodore through to q-bert, craze, shadow, j5 etc. it is fantastic. |
||||||||
|

|
|
your girlfriend needs to see this thread then. my mate started seeing this girl and when she saw his collection she said "a man with a massive record collection really turns me on" - where do you find a woman like that? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah its still pretty good thats where i buy all new releases. pretty cheap even the vinyl. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

im not a big hip hop fan but there is a couple of tracks im after but im unsure of the artists names (i only have radio recording of them). what sounds like 'we got the funk' by 'MC lekim' (sp) and hot daze (sp again) turn by 'hot day dantiss' (sp). both from 1988, anyone heard of either? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
She may do as she logs on here every now and then. She'd never make me stop getting records she just finds it so weird the lengths I'd go to to get one record. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
can't help with that i'm afraid. its still a good film if you don't like hip hop that much - you only have to appreciate the music. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the tracks are mc la kim - we got the funk and hot day dante - hot day's turn one of them was on tuffcity records but their site seems to be down :o/ |

he CERTAINLY is. i can easily relax to his stuff -- all his compositions are beautiful. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Thats so fucking lame: I want the music, but if its not on CD I wont buy it. I really love the stuff, and I do have a CD-player, but hey, If its not on vinyl, forget it! OH GOD, HOW LAME! |
