Vinyl Records are Back!

not online, not new copies

There is usually lots of vinyl at car boot sales, the’re the cheapest

I have a large vinyl collection (about 1100 records) I would like to sell with records ranging from the 40s – mid 90s. Is there any place in the area I can take them to? Or can you give any other suggestions on ways to sell them? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

i am 15 i just got a record player and i need some records because the only ones i have are scratched i currently live in tucson arizona any sources would be helpful thank you.

The best site on the internet, better than Ebay even, is www.gemm.com . GEMM is great. It’s been around longer than Ebay (can you believe it!) and they give you a better guarantee of your money than Ebay. There are thousands of sellers on GEMM, millions of listings. If you can’t find it there fugheddaboutit!

Ive noticed the old vinyl records hold anything from 5 to 10 songs per side on a 12 inch disc, but ive been recently buying vinyl albums of new bands, and they normally ahve 3 songs per side.. i find it too short and having to swap sides to quickly. why is this is there a reason?

It is called greed. The do the same thing with compact discs. I have seen some LP’s with one song only.

Acoustic Sounds, Dusty Groove, Music Direct, Amazon, Craig Moerer Records by Mail, and Sound Stage Direct.

I have a stack of old vinyl records that I am haven’t played in over 20 years. Recently I inspected them, they have alot of smudge and dirt marks.
Any ideas for cleaning them without damaging the records. I don’t think CD shops sell vinyl cleaning fluid.
Thanks.

This home brew cleaner will work as good as many commercial record cleaners on the market. It does not take strong solvents to clean vinyl … commonly available cleaners (heavily diluted) will work extremely well.

Make two solutions … combine the following cleaners with distilled water in two separate bottles. Make sure to use distilled water and not tap water … to avoid depositing contaminants on the vinyl.

1. Mix 1 Part Resolve Spray and Wash to 20 Part Distilled water.
2. Mix 1 Part Enzymatic cleaner (BioKleen General Purpose Cleaner) or other safe gentle liquid enzymatic cleaners … free of dyes and fragrance … to 32 Part distilled water.

Apply 1st cleaner to vinyl record. Use a paint brush to spread cleaner uniformly over the record … let SOAK for 2 minutes. Rinse off with distilled water and soft cotton towel or high quality microfiber auto detail cloth.

Apply 2nd cleaner. Use a paint brush to spread cleaner uniformly over the record …. let SOAK for 2 minutes. Rinse off with distilled water and soft cotton towel or high quality microfiber auto detail cloth.

Let the record dry on a dish rack … several hours or overnight before playing.

im trying to find more records but im not sure were to start. i know urban outfitters sells a few. but thats too expensive for what im looking for.
underground music stores in hollywood or websites?

Try a used cd shop. Some have a used vinyl section and you can probably find some good new titles – I just purchased some Minus the Bear and MGMT 45’s from my local "hot dog and record" store. Also, antique shops sometimes have boxes of records for sale. Of course, these aren’t going to be modern music, but you can find some pretty good scores.

I have about 200 old records in their jackets. I was wondering what to do with them.

I would donate them to a thrift store like Goodwill or Salvation Army. I like looking for old records at places like that.

I know there were 78s 45s 33 1/3
I’m sure there was another size between the 78s and 33 1/3 but can’t for the life of me remember it unless it was a larger size 78 I remember it being a thick heavy vinyl. If you tried to bend it, it would break easy.
Thank you

The 78 rpm record were the thick large size they came out in the early to mid 1930’s I believe My Grandfather had some in his collection many years ago before his death in 1975 Next size is the 33 1/3 rpm those came out in the early to mid 1950’s and were phased out in the mid to late 1980s when CDs came out on the market I had A Collection of 33 1/3 rpm then th 45 rpm those were out from late 1950s to late 1970’s to mid 1980s

I have some vinyl 33 1/3 records that are from The Toledo Blade. They are Learn a Language Spanish. I would like any information I can get on these.
