I want to get into listening to vinyl records, can you tell me what I need to know when it comes to this hobby
Yes they do, only some bands do though. I would suggest finding the records online or in a record store (yes they still have those)
I have tried amazon but I feel that the prices aren’t correct. I don’t want to use ebay either.
check Goldmine guides,magazines
I have a number of old vinyl LP’s, some picture discs and coloured vinyls, and wanted to get them appraised but don’t have enough time to search out a reputable dealer in the high street. So was hoping there might be a website you can input the album, or single’s, name and it comes up with a realistic price. Has to be a UK site though.

I have an Ion Lp turntable and I recently noticed that the post in the middle of the turntable seems to be rubbing or creating friction with the vinyl. I’ve tried my best to clean the stuff off when my record is done. Is this just a common occurrence with new records as the holes in the center are not quite big enough? If this is not normal does anyone know what to do about it?
Yes, new records can quite often be a bit of a tight fit. I’ve never experienced a turntable actually melting records before though. Do you mean that it’s cutting off little shavings of vinyl that leave a bit of goo behind? If so, it’s not really a problem and it won’t be doing any permanent damage to your records. If it’s physically melting your records away though, that sounds a bit more serious. I’ve used a knife on the hole before to scrape away some of the vinyl and widen it a little, so you don’t have to flex and bend the vinyl to get it off the platter before. It doesn’t cause any damage.
I live in Palm Beach Florida and recently bought a record player. I’m dying to buy more and more records, but you have to be really lucky to find good LPs in most thrift stores. Does anyone know of a good place I can find some? Maybe even online? Thanks!
I know Hot Topic sells them, it just all depends on what music you’re into. If you have a Hot Topic store near you, you might be able to find some good ones there. Try around antique shops as well, I’ve seen shelves full of them at some antique stores I’ve been to. Hope this helped!
What’s a good website to order Electronica, Techno, Trance Vinyl Records From? Thanks!
