LP's

Post subject: LP's Posted: Tue Apr 05, 2011 05:56 PM

I have been trying to complete my early Black Sabbath and KISS LP collection and am running out of sources. Plus I am tired of going into every record store I can locate only to find beat up copies or pretentious douchebags who lecture me on music.

Anyone have a good/trusted source online to find vintage LP's in good condition?

I was burned twice by Ebay and refuse to use them.

Frys is actually bringing them back. They are not vintage, and limited. Not sure if that helps LOL

Goodwill, Savers etc can be a great source for turntables. I got my current one (A Denon) for $15 with a cartridge. I did need to solder on some replacement RCA plugs, as I was getting some interference on the signal.

I have had great luck finding albums on Ebay. I just make sure to deal with people that have great feedback scores. I paid $40 for a Massive Attack album that I had to have a brand spanking new copy of. I also had to buy an album from Italy. What makes that weird, is that it was the only copy of this album I could find, and it was a LOCAL BAND.

I know there are some online sources for albums, both new and used, but I have had a hard time finding them. I will check with my record collector friend, and see if he has any good sources. In MN we have a chain called Cheap-o Records. I don;t know if they do any mail-order/online sales, but it's worth a check. They can usually get anything, as long as it's still in print.

You could checkElusive Disk they re-issue AUdiophile quality versions for a hefty sum. Issues are hit-n-miss. Grab them while you can!

Amazon oddly enough has listings for everything I was looking for from actual record stores.

I ordered two (1 Sabbath & 1 KISS) that were listed in Very Good ++ and Mint condition. So we will see how that goes.

Best part was the tracking confirm from USPS priority mail I got this morning.

It will take 4 weeks to take 2 LP's from NY to CO. I wish I had the option to use FedEx or UPS.

And people want Govt health care?
