Albums you had on vinyl... ROLLING STONES or...

Allhallowsday · November 13, 2018, 10:27:13 PM

Albums you had on vinyl... but don't have uploaded or on CD. I had ROLLING STONES Their Satanic Majesties Request on vinyl 30 years ago (no lenticular cover) but don't have it in any form now. Also ROLLING STONES Sticky Fingers (which did have the zipper cover which later became an embossed gold foil fake zipper). I had a lot of great stuff on vinyl which I gave away 20 or more years ago.
I'm listening to the first a lot on YouTube.

I had some cool weird Punk sh!t that's hard to find now.

I had a great turntable and HUGE speakers equalizer and that crap... I gave it away and my greatgrandma friend (87) I was with tonight gave it to her grandson, a good guy close to 30 years younger than me. Yes, her granddaughter has a daughter.

I had most of Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd's catalogue on vinyl... only upgraded a couple of them to CD.

I just sold off the last remnants of my vinyl collection a month or two ago. I haven't owned a turntable in almost 20 years and am not likely to buy a new one anytime soon, so it was kind of a waste to still have them hanging around.

I was never a major vinyl collector anyway -- by the time I started buying music in the mid '80s vinyl was already on the way out. In the early days I was mostly about cassettes, but I've been all-CDs, all the time since about 1990.

Therefore my "album collection" was maybe 75 records, tops, most of which were cheap pickups I got from cut-out/bargain bins or from yard sales/etc. I let my brother (who still collects LPs) pick thru my stash and take what he wanted, then took the remainders (approx. 35-40 records) to a record store and cashed'em in.

I'd long since upgraded most of my LPs to CD (or at least to CD-R copies), but I had some live Metallica bootlegs and a few other odds and ends that I know I'll likely never see/hear again. One in particular (Master of the Metal by Messiah Prophet, a long forgotten Christian metal band) is hard to find and rather pricey on CD nowadays so that was kinda tough to let go of. I can listen to that album on YouTube anytime I want of course, but it's not the same.

FatFreddysCat, your story sounds very much like mine, especially them "cassettes"... I bought some, but mostly made my own mixes with a dual tape deck and from vinyl. And 1990 sounds about the time I started buying CDs routinely, mostly to "upgrade" from beloved vinyl (I still had all my records then). But, I was buying vinyl new in the '70s, and quickly got into checking out the USED LPs. I have maybe 100 records left, mostly junk I wish I hadn't kept, but I haven't had a turntable either for many years. I took good care of my records, so they were fun to look through. I might've had a thousand...

I picked up an LP in great shape off a pile of discarded records... Christian Metal band with the musicians as angels...?
Just did a little digging, but I couldn't get my hands on it and maybe I have a couple hundred records left...

Was it Stryper's To Hell With The Devil?

Yeh, that's it!!! CircuCircus kind of nudged me years ago about that one. CC has great taste in music! I like STRYPER!

RCMerchant · November 14, 2018, 06:34:31 PM

I had LOTS of records on vinyl! I had one in particular that I haven't seen since the 70's called MIDNIGHT LIGHTNING by Jimi Hendrix which I really liked and haven't seen since in any form...
I still have a few, but most are lost to time.

I had some goofy novelty albums:
GOOFY GREATS

^I must have gotten a watered-down version because I don't remember all those tracks being on it. I had about 14.
GOOFY GOLD
It had stuff like Alley Oop, Monster Mash, Transfusion, Purple People Eater, Running Bear, Big Bad John, etc. It also came with some lame "Sounds Of Horror" album with moans, creaking doors, chains rattling, etc.

Also had the storybook Disney album TRICK OR TREAT, and THE HAUNTED MANSION.

And PAC-MAN FEVER!

I didn't really collect regular albums until later. I have some classic stuff like Dreamboat Annie, Led Zep II and IV, Frampton Comes Alive, and a few others.

I replaced just about all my vinyl with CDs. Now, I have more CDs than I ever had on vinyl.

I think DISNEY did at least two versions of Haunted Mansion on LP before the example you show. I might have that Trick or Treat LP too... I still have a good number of Halloween records and sound effects stuff. I have both Goofy Greats and Funny Bone Favorites in first issue sleeves (sh!t, did I buy those off of the TV???)

Got a couple of hundred vinyl albums and a few singles kicking around. Tend to listen to them on the rare occasions I am in the house by myself. Was in a charity shop recently and picked up a bunch of singles with Disney stories I figured I'd pick up for Ash to hear when he is a little older.

retrorussell · November 15, 2018, 02:56:03 AM

Come to think of it, I believe I DID have a different album cover of THE HAUNTED MANSION. It seemed like there was a prominent tombstone with maybe a bat or raven on it or something.

Anyway, I also had a really stupid children's album of DOCTOR DOLITTLE songs.

And a Mary Poppins soundtrack album (I think it was this one):

And I had the SESAME STREET BOOK AND RECORD.

I remember Circus Circus, he was a cool dude. Shame he doesnt hang here anymore.
I've been a Stryper fan since their first EP (and I have taken a ton of crap from my More Metal Than Thou friends about it in that time, hahaha)... They're still around and unlike a lot of so called "hair bands" from that era, their new stuff is just as good ( if not better) than their 80s albums. I do think they've gotten better with age!

One of the LPs I sold off a few weeks ago was my old copy of their Soldiers Under Command album. I've had it on CD for years now, great (cheesy) '80s metal.
