Vinyl record story

Is this going phallic?

Note that I said I was listening to "Budgie" not "Bugger"! 

[Hornisse]

The Budgie LP Squawk is kind of phallic.......

But it grew on you quickly......

cool album. Budgie played here a couple of months ago. Still kicking major butt live.

Any band with song titles such as Hot as a Docker's Armpit, Nude Parachute Woman and Panzer Division Destroyed (certainly not by English quality tanks though, I dare add ...) should be applauded.

To me, a lot of the mp3 stuff sounds so harsh it makes me wince. Or incredibly undynamic. But some people just don't hear that.

There's a local band here called "Sorry About Dresden".

Problem with LPs is what do you do with them when nobody wants them? When my father died I got a load of old dance band/Jazz LPs. Not really my thing and the turntable's been decommissioned anyway. So I thought about selling them, but all the ones that look like they might be interesting are reissues or compilations, and none of them are unmarked. There's many similar copies on eBay and they don't sell. Even the charity shops don't want them. So it looks like they'll be going into landfill.

[Pilgrim]

I have about 300 78s and a couple dozen LPs downstairs - all from a friend's dad's estate - that I'd love to move to digital using my ION turntable...but no time.  I don't have the weeks it would require.

Don't put old vinyl into landfill!  Please!  If you put an ad up on CL someone will come and take them away.  Sure some stuff is worthless, but let some record hound figure that out. 

As far as I am aware, almost any Savers or Goodwill will take lps/45s/78s if you box them up and bring them in.  Each thrift is different, and each town has different rules.  For instance in the town next to mine if you walked in with a set of stained sheets and a tweed Fender amp, they would take the sheets and tell you to throw the amp in a dumpster.  The sheets would eventually be hauled away to be shredded.  So the thing that thousands of people would give a nut for gets destroyed, and the thing that nobody ever needs sits around.

Recycle as pots...



... and sell at a craft fair...
