This actually reminded me of my parent's relatively new vinyl collection. They recently bought a "5 in 1" music center, which plays radio, tape, CD, and vinyl, as well as converting vinyl and tape to CD. As a result, they have been picking up vinyl at garage sales and the like. I'd actually forgotten that they were doing that until Undercoverjoe's post, so thanks!undercoverjoe wrote: I should figure out how to record all of these albums onto cd's.
Well...if the name across the top is John, Paul, Ringo or George...I bet it's worth a pile-o-cashBig-H wrote:i just found a vinyl its beatles/lonely hearts band .it opens up w/ picture of band. its mint except for some dudes name across the top of it.wonder how much its worth?
Most of the albums that people hope might be valuable are not. In particular, the mainstream records by artists such as The Beatles, Elvis Presley, The Rollings Stones, Pink Floyd, etc. are worth very little for two main reasons. There were millions and millions of copies made and they were usually played a lot and not in mint condition. Just because the artist was big does not make it worth much. The albums by some of the huge selling artists that are valuable are the rare pieces such as The Beatles original butcher cover (there are fakes out there), radio promos, autographed jackets or records, picture discs, gold records, limited edition odd pressings like the 7" 2 disc Magical Mystery Tour, records they made or groups they appeared with prior to making it big, etc. In some cases; especially with 45 records, the picture sleeve is worth more than the record because they were limited printings and many times people threw them away and only kept the record, decreasing the amount of sleeves still out there.Big-H wrote:i just found a vinyl its beatles/lonely hearts band .it opens up w/ picture of band. its mint except for some dudes name across the top of it.wonder how much its worth?

I'm up there with JP...about 1000 albums and I stll have the first album that I purchased at Gable's: "Telstar" by the Ventures. The very first album that I learned songs of off was "Wipe Out" the Surfari's. I still have it also.Jim Price wrote:I have a LOT of vinyl (I lost track of how many albums, I'd guess-timate well over a thousand). I actually added a lot of new albums in the past 4-5 years when I was doing "Closet Chronicles" on Q94; I picked up on a lot of obscure bands' albums and filled in other holes in my collection.
It's tough to pick favorites, but I think some of my import albums rank up there. I scored a lot of import vinyl '80s metal albums from Music Hut in Altoona before they went out of business. (One was a copy of Raven's first album I bought for a buck; I didn't discover that it was autographed by the band until months after I bought it!) I also did my fair share of vinyl purchases at Arboria in State College. Nowadays, the store that occupies the former Dollar General location in downtown Ebensburg stocks a lot of vinyl; I check there now and then to see if any additional titles have arrived in.
And two sentimental favorite vinyl albums in my collection: my copy of Led Zeppelin's untitled fourth album, which is the first album I ever bought with my own money; it's still in playable shape, and was pressed on that rigid, thick vinyl that doesn't flex! The other sentimental favorite is my copy of Aerosmith's first album, bought when "Dream On" first hit the airwaves in 1973 - I have the original, orange sky cover!
