Your record collection

[EYEREX]

Just wondered if anyone's into Vinyl

Have a small collection made up of 80's / 90's Soul and Electro with the odd bit of Acid House and others

Just over 210 in total made up of LP's and 12"

I also have quite a few 78's old jazz and a gramophone which was left to me but not something i ever use as it brings back too many memories to someone close to me

Not much now, but was resident dj for clubs from 1991 till 2001, so used to have huge amounts.

Think we have similar taste, or are from similar backgrounds with music Eyerex, as I often nod approvingly at the vinyl you post in the purchased thread.

I started with soul and funk and rap in my earlier days and finished playing house and trance.

It's odd to think that i got into Electro off the back of listening to classical music as my first record i ever bought was Chi Mai and also loved Rondo Veneziano - La Serenissima think it has something to do with there backing beat and melody then one day in the early 80's on Arena BBC 2 they had a programme about new music which featured Afrika Bambaataa - Planet Rock and from that day i was hooked

Have to thank a bloke i worked with at my first job at 16 who got me into soul who asked me if i would copy a few of his albums onto tape which were Loose Ends, Surface and early Alexander O'Neal and i never looked back as even as a white bloke who never went near the dance floor in Studio's in Streatham or Sinatras in Croydon you can't help yourself but get your groove on it just has to be in the privacy of my own home when no ones about and when the neighbours are out

Ps still remember the nights listening to Mike Allen on Capital Radio "happy days"
