And then you got these people:
That was pretty funny...and the dood at the end? Yeah, sure he's got a girlfriend.
It's been a joy collecting the Stones catalogue in vinyl, though I admit in the last couple of years keeping up with the variety of new releases has been a challenge. I'm beginning to taper off my purchasing.
I myself used to collect coins when I was a young kid, and started a mini collection of stamps years later (when the Italian post started issuing a stamp to celebrate the winner of the Italian Serie A). Eventually I gave up, but as long as it lasted, indeed it was fun!
What I meant to say is that you don't have to be a collector to appreciate vinyl: I keep my old LPs not because I collect them, but only because I still listen to them!

You buy 2 copies. A play copy. A museum copy, you never open.
The more entrepreneurial of us will also buy a "for sale" copy.
This is used in the future to sell to pay back your purchase of all 3 copies.
Because you've admitted to this transgression, your sentence will reflect your cooperation.
I have quite a few records that not only I never play, I am actually extremely embarrassed to even own - they are THAT bad! Well I can't sell them (understandable: nobody would buy them) but can't throw them away either.
Guess I need a shrink!

Thank you m'lud ...very kind.
It wouldn't be fair for your entire life to be impacted by unfortunate choices you made when you were young. This is a caring/sharing message board.
That was hilarious!
I feel like them only in my case it's guitars that are cramming most of the whole Love Nest. Easier for me though as I usually jam with the ladies or teach them how to play the basics after we are done with the main business, which fittingly provides some space for them to leave smoothly.
Talk about your favorite band.

Vinyl is for collectors. Like a stamp or coin collection. As for stamps and coins, they need to be old and rare to have a real value, like 100+ years. As for vinyl, they are manifactured in thousands, and most have mainly an affectional value. That is my opinion, of course.

There is a "slight" difference between a an LP in any physical format and an old coin or stamp: you can't use old coins and stamps, while records can and still give me great joy!

You are probably not a collector of stamps, coins or bank notes. When I was just a kid age 10 I used to dream about having in hand the Norway #1 stamp issued in 1855, as well as the old shilling coins of 1875/76. Then 55 years on my dream as a kid went through, and I enjoy owning and looking at these rare and now vintage items. Just like I enjoy owning Sticky Fingers the original with the zipper, as well as Satanic, Exile, the flexi, Hurricane and so on and on. A collector is a collector. No difference.
Sorry...I had to know:
[northwindstamps.com]
That was a rather ugly and cheap Norway #1 stamp, due to the almost complete covering cancellation stamp. The cancellation stamp define the value, I do have three different ones, each with a different history, nom of hjem cover up the stamp itself that much.
Just like I own two copies of «Sticky Fingers» the original zipper album. The first one is the one I played to the pieces during 1971 and so on. The other copy is «mint» without crackles, never played on a record playet. Both covers are mint, protected by a plastic cover.
When I wisited Exhibitiomism I was disappointed by the quality of the Sticky Fingers on display. It was warn out. None of my vinyl album covers do look like that. It is possible to play vinyl albums without wearing out the cover, not using them as beer mats etc.

The difference these days is that all these vinyl editions are purposely released to be collected like stamps, rather than as a medium on which to buy recorded music.
I'm truly thankful for the vinyl resurgence in recent years , because it does mean that we [who still love the medium for all its flaws] can go out and buy a lot more new and old music on vinyl than we'd been able to for a long time.
That said, the industry now looks at vinyl purely as niche market that it currently deems worth catering for.
Edited to ad..
..though the industry evidently does see it as significant part of the marketing strategy as we see a lot of stories about album releases being delayed because it's taking a long time to get the vinyl pressed.

I'll bet there are many active vinyl collectors who don't own a functional record player.
They wouldn't dream of actually playing the damn things!

I've never been entrepreneurial or smart enough to make a penny out of anything.
Bit late to start now .
That said and thinking about it, there must be a small part of me that is a "collector".
I have quite a few records I never play because I have far better sounding versions or pressings...but I still wouldn't sell or part with them.
So I'll have to plead guilty yer honour
