(12,132 posts)that is only because I don't have a good place to do it right now. We have lived in our house for 25+ years and seem to have accumulated an extra room full of stuff but have not accumulated an extra room. But sometime in the next couple years we are moving to a bigger house and I will have a place to set up my good ol' record player.
I've noticed a boom in vinyl recently and I plan to begin collecting new records to go with my decent sized old collection - again, when I have the space lol. I often see vinyl for sale at shows in smaller clubs and since I'm at those shows it's usually vinyl I want and most of my online music retailers (or band's individual sites) offer vinyl selections too. A lot of the bands I like release special edition vinyl with cool art and other goodies (alternate versions of and/or different songs, booklets, etc...) and I am all for that - especially when I can buy right from them.
