Vinyl Finds

Scored at Easy Street in the 3 for $10 bin

Prince - Purple Rain
Rick James - Street Songs
Joni Mitchell - Blue

All in good shape.

For some reason the dumpster diving aspect of this stupid hobby appeals to me the most.

I used to buy random crates of vinyl of craigslist for next to nothing. The accidental discovery was fun. Discogs has ruined that gambit though.

The thrill of finding good score in the used bins (although they are rare these days) never goes away.

I still buy about 50% used from the local shops and 50% from the online stores for the audiophile reissues. The current reissue of Blue on Rhino is phenomenal by the way. Mastered by Kevin Gray and cut all analog from the OG tape.

I found a mid 70's Japanese pressing of Band of Gypsys today. It wasn't cheap but holy phuk does it sounds amaze balls!

Very rarely did the Japanese ever press a bad record.

When you find Japanese pressings in the used bins you must buy.

I dont know Jack about vinyl but I would've guessed so. I have friends who are really into their collections and I get why. The sound is amazing.

I had the impression you weren't a big Jimi fan. I am. Band of Gypsies isn't my favorite by any stretch but Machine Gun by itself is right up there.

I am a big Jimi fan. Just not on the same level that I am with Stones, Beatles, Who, Kinks, Neil Young, Dylan, etc. He needed more time and didn't have as prolific career as my all time favs.

Speaking of vinyl I haven't heard from @Gilbystaint in a while. Where you at bruh?
