In college, my roommate had a record player and he stole his dad's copy of the "Theme from Shaft" by Isaac Hayes and that got a lot of rotation. After college another roommate had a pretty decent stack of 45s. I picked up a lot more in the past 4-5 years after finding a 1965 era console stereo at an estate sale for $18. Since then I've spent well over $100 for quite a good number of records. There's a great used record store in Webster Groves, MO (Euclid Records) that has a really good selection and most of the good titles run about $6. Most I paid was $9 for a double Parliament album. Ray Charles's "New and Modern Sounds in Country Music" was only $6!! The garage sales and antique stores are flooded with all sorts of gems for about 25 cents to a dollar. I haven't picked up any brand new vinyl yet, but I might start. It's too much fun finding the old classics though. To the above, there's a lot of old Willie Nelson titles that are out of print that are quite nice to find on vinyl.Garrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09969949293655997447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8768065136907724398.post-32976502809963436512008-12-16T13:40:00.000-05:002008-12-16T13:40:00.000-05:00I have no doubt vinyl is coming back in a big way....I have no doubt vinyl is coming back in a big way. You can hardly find any decent wax at the used shops anymore...ESPECIALLY if its a name act. Every now and then you get lucky and find something no one else is hip to yet. Also the prices are gradually spiking...again mainly for the name acts. Luckily most of the hipsters buying up all the good records steer clear of the country section. This makes it nice for buying old Willie records, but try to find a reasonably priced Neil Young album....try it!!!Truersoundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03147528323486889460noreply@blogger.com
