Getting Started - Where to Get Your Records

The purchasing of your records is one of the fun aspects of collecting, and indeed the experience can tie itself to the record and the music.  There's a host of options in the moderm world to help you get your vinyl fix, and here I am looking at the pros and cons of each. As the envirnmentalists say: Think Global - Shop Local! IG: shut_up_listen_pod e: shutupandlistentothesongs@gmail.com

Getting Started - Starting Your Collection

How to start a collection - it can be really daunting... The condecending approach would be "these are the greatest albums... blah blah blah", but what I'm hoping to say here is what makes these albums so special - and why they sound so great on vinyl.  So you'll think about what you want from your collection, the kinds of albums you'll want to hear and the diferent facets beyond "it's a really good album".
