Vinyl Records are Back!

recently, i got vinyl record player. and i know some new bands make vinyl records, but where can i buy them? i bought a taylor swift record so far, I’m looking for for bands like brand new, mayday parade, par amore, etc. basically a bunch of newer bands in alternative/indie/acoustic/general rock/pop genres. if you know where i can get records like this (online or otherwise), please tell me. =]

go on COLDPLAY.COM and buy the mylo xyloto vinyl album. coldplay was alternative but now more indie rock. but another indie band I am fond of is Miike Snow(: check em’ out eh.

I am having a clearout (in Twickenham) and have a bunch of stuff to get rid of. Lots of book, lots of old vinyl records – mostly in average condition, quite a few bits of household items, old computer equipment, old wooden wine boxes etc, etc. Without spending too much effort, how can I get the best price for all this stuff, particularly the books because they’re mostly in good condition and there’s a lot of them.

eBay is probably your best bet as there will hopefully be people who are looking for the specific items you have. If there are 2 or more people that want your things then hopefully it will result in a bidding war ultimately getting you the best price.

Another avenue may be for you to spend some time researching the books, records and other bits that you have online to find out if any of them are rare and collectors items. If this is the case then a specialist auction house may be a better bet.

It’s Christmas season and my mom wants to spoil me. I recently bought a record player, and I asked for a couple records (man they are more expensive than previously thought). Anyways, does anyone know of a reliable, good, etc. online service to buy records? Please send link. Much appreciated, cheers!

I have a Direct Drive Technics sl-1200mk2 turntable, which takes vinyl records. Now, I can buy records from places such as Guitar Center for scratching, and those are blank records i believe. Now, my grandfather has some old 78 records with music on them; can I use those or will they not work cause they have music on it?

no

Just thought I ask because Half Price Books have been raising their prices of vinyl records over the last two years.

Because people are starting to realize that records rule and supply was not prepared to keep up for the future.

I have a Paul McCartney RAM album and I was thinking maybe I should get more. I just started to listen to the 70’s and 60’s songs like Beatles and Rolling Stones. They aren’t that expensive on ebay so I thought, "Why Not?". But I don’t know if its really that convenient but I do like the sound of it a lot. So thats the question Vinyl records or iTunes. If you can give an unbiased opinion on both. Thanks!

Vinyl as it will only gain in value for bands such as the Beatles and the Rolling Stones.
If you can get them cheap go for it! There is something very satisfying about owning a large vinyl record collection.

I just collect a lot of vintage records and was wondering how much the average 12 inch vinyl cost back when they came out. Thanks!

9 or 10 bucks for a new release but you could find the occasional bargain.

I have been told that the covers of LP/Vinyl records smell. I was wondering hoe to make the smell go away?

Please only answer this question if you can help me put. Please do not answer this question only for points.
By The way the LP records are my mom and dads and mine.

I use Fabreze and it works well.

Most of the sites I’ve looked at sell them per record but I am looking for any one in particular. I’m looking for special collectors ones or anything. I’m just interested in them for art/decorating purposes. If you know where I can get a bunch that someone is trying to get rid of or a site that sells them in bulk your help is greatly appreciated

eBay! Search Vinyl record lots and you will find some very cheap!

I want to hang vinyl records on my wall, but I don’t want to frame them. Not the case, just the record. I have popcorn walls and I want to attach them without having a million holes or damaging the wall much. Any ideas? Thanks

There are devices designed to hold and display plates. They have a central hanger and multiple, spring-loaded "hooks" that go over the edge of the plate. They should work on records, too.
