I bought Röyksopp's album "Junior" in 2009 on vinyl when it came out.Johnnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14052844390130059570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2692958826098214952.post-36407016434811009692012-01-07T21:19:50.837-05:002012-01-07T21:19:50.837-05:00@ Jules... 45's used to cost 99 cents.

I bought a direct drive turntable to play my 300 LP's, so I would not have to worry about replacing the 'rubber band' on my old one. The thing I didn't think about is buying a couple dozen needles. "MY BAD"... I also started recording my albums onto cassettes. I might as well have put them on 8 tracks. My first LP was 'The Loving Spoonful' and think the last one was a double album 'Derrick And The Domino's Live'grumpahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10343685906689924031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2692958826098214952.post-62689964172165097622012-01-07T12:22:31.760-05:002012-01-07T12:22:31.760-05:00I actually collect vinyl...45s and LPs.

Have bought a few NEW ones...believe it or not there are pricey reissues of classic albums from a few small companies. I have 3 vintage consoles and a jukebox too.

Aerosmith : Toys In The Attic. I have a turn table and recently bought a Ion USB turn table to convert my LPs into my iTunes library. Now I must find the time to read, hook up said turn table and then down load my LPs.Wandisvillehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05182415219879708914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2692958826098214952.post-26582385487899895012012-01-06T15:31:46.456-05:002012-01-06T15:31:46.456-05:00Husband believes his last one was one of those K-T...Husband believes his last one was one of those K-Tel records.;)Juleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11019562060252268854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2692958826098214952.post-57091869311494252082012-01-06T15:24:38.114-05:002012-01-06T15:24:38.114-05:00I have no idea which would have been the last one ...I have no idea which would have been the last one bought, but we have a whole stack of vinyl LPs that we haven't been able to enjoy in a long time. My Christmas gift to Marie was a turn table, she is delighted to pull out the old Carpenters, Simon & Garfunkel, John Denver, etc music. I have to go mow the lawn or something when she puts on John Denver.dougbittingerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16300010344346598091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2692958826098214952.post-73940001238953903562012-01-06T14:13:37.903-05:002012-01-06T14:13:37.903-05:00Gosh that is a tough one, but a little thought rev...Gosh that is a tough one, but a little thought reveals that it was The Stone Roses, I was desperate to get hold of a track that I did not know the name of, turns out that the track I was looking for was called Fool's Gold and was not issued on the album so I ended up buying the track I wanted on a 12 inch single the following week. <br /><br />Ironically some years later Fools Gold was issued on the rereleased version of the album hey ho it's only Rock'n'Roll !Art Tidescohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16680781189400367930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2692958826098214952.post-45575541249156483532012-01-06T08:11:16.995-05:002012-01-06T08:11:16.995-05:00I have to be completely honest here...

I only remember purchasing cassettes. <br /><br />However, I DO remember my very 1st "big girl" album that I got for my birthday. It was Rick Springfield's "Working Class Dog". Shortly after that I got Mr. Springfield's "Success Hasn't Spoiled Me Yet" album. :D It sat among the Disney, Barbie & Muppet albums and spun around my blue & white plastic turntable. lol! <br /><br />Now that my wheels are turning. I might actually have to say that The Jacksons "Victory" album (1984) was the last one I had, but I really honestly don't remember ever actually purchasing them for myself. My mom taught aerobics and had hundreds and hundreds of 45s, so I would steal those after she was done with them.... but not 33 1/3s.Juleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11019562060252268854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2692958826098214952.post-6665753523856116732012-01-06T06:28:14.089-05:002012-01-06T06:28:14.089-05:00Technically, the last album I purchased is a Chris...Technically, the last album I purchased is a Christmas (2011) gift for my son. The album is "Smile Sessions" by The Beach Boys. Though I think that the last album that I acquired for personal use was a previously owned 9-album box-set collection of Arthur Fiedler and the Boston Pops titled "Pops Varieties." I got this set probably ten years ago.Steve Arnaudinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17766429959774263559noreply@blogger.com
