Haven't got anywhere to put my HiFi right now, but kept all my old vinyls because I'm a sad nostalgic twit... and because half of them have been autographed, including some from Mickey Moody quite recently, in fact!
If only I could get the Suzi Quatro ones done...

Thats a US press of Magical Mystery Tour by The Beatles so its a full album.

I don't "collect" vinyl, I buy it to play it... .
Just had John Cougar Mellencamp - scarecrow, which I managed to get at a recent record fair after years of suffering the CD version.... now playing Steve Earl, Guitar Town..... rock on...

What is your deck then seanyc5 - thorens ? never tried a clamp.
I keep waiting for all the represses that Sainsbury sell to be sold off, but they are sticking by the initial prices so far but never seem to shift any - weird white elephant project.
Quadrophenia and Electric Ladyland represses were the most recent I got, the secret appears to be to buy/pre-order as they are released, as prices become 2x rapidly, just need to get a heads up on the releases ?
not found a good replacement for this site I had used
see you got the Ziggy repress - they were like hot cakes.
I did not know rp1's had an rb300 arm, which that looks like, use a early (non-green) rp3/rb300 myself.

They are all first pressing , I used to go a rock club years ago and they still have a FB page so I asked if anyone had any LP's they don't play anymore and this guy went up his loft and got these down for me

Vinyl has never been away. Can't beat the sound of vinyl
Yes for some time now.... where you been hiding
Actually really annoys me these types of places trying jump on the band wagon and steal a few sales of the popular titles. While the independents, even Amazon kept selling it all through....
It also is going to leave a lot of people disappointed in all the media hype and BS... For sure vinyl can sound superb..... at a price point and quality level, sadly higher than most people will pay. Pound for pound digital will sound better until you invest enough in analogue.
Some will end up falling for the hype, buy a crappy deck and some records and wonder why they went back to poor sound and crackles compared to the MP3 on their phone !!
I'm just waiting for the bubble to burst and people start complaining for whom it hasn't lived up to the reports and hype they read. Which in turn could cause the industry to abandon it all over again.... I hope not.
It's a project debut carbon with acrylic platter, speed box and a 2m bronze. I got that Ziggy press from HMV, I just happened to be in there was not looking for it. They had a fair few of his albums in there! I got the space oddity from an independent in Birmingham.

I actually work there and have never seen any until last week
For me its about recapturing the memory's of my teens , i had a massive collection of first press albums (all of Zeppelin , massive fan ) then i moved house (20 years ago) to the country and left the vinyl in a wooden garage whilst we renovated the house .came back to them a year later and mice had eaten the lot !! (my own fault)
regarding the quality , in my teens i only had a crappy player and i loved it
CD has its benefits ,mostly not have to get up and flip it every twenty mins , but there is nothing better than lighting the fire having a beer reading the sleeve notes on a record

Fully agree on the experience of listen to music this way, scouring the sleeve for any interesting bits of info etc.... It makes you listen to an album, not grab a few tracks, so you get the flow and what the artist was created........ off to get that beer you suggested

I bought some Madness picture disks back in the 80s because I was told they would be worth something one day. With inflation, they are probably worth less than I paid lol. They are still nice to have though I suppose. I don't have a method of playing them currently.
