How long have you been collecting records for?
It’s Been a Year Now.
How Large is your vinyl collection?
Not Large Enough So Much Music and Not Enough Records ***Sadness** Well For Now I Have 70 of Them.
Which is the most valuable record in your collection?
All of them are. The albums I own are a mix of different genre metal , post rock , grunge , Triphop ,folk , indie , all of them are brilliant in their own way. There’s only one which my friends is special , it’s the record by a progressive metal band Intronaut “Prehistoricisms” , the band gave it to me as a token of thanks when they came to play for GIR festival.
Tell us about your turntable setup.
Audio-Technica Lp60 + Edifier Speakers , will upgrade soon
Any advice to people that are about to start their collection?
People who have been collecting records from a long time have one thought in common “Don’t be in a rush” it’s very true , once you’ll start definitely you would want to own every favorite album , but before you do that try to learn about the concept like pressing (trust me it’s very important) . Think of your favorite book which get printed by different publishers price , quality and prints always differ , Vinyl are similar too you will always find them on different labels for a different price and pressings ,so try to read about labels their information is replete on internet. A Vinyl record is the super amazing physical copy with killer artwork of the same album which some dude uploaded on You tube for free and you can listen to it anytime. Youtube will let you jump from one song to another instantaneously or perchance drag song forward to hear just the solo or whatever part; this probably is a convenient way but kills the beauty of a song, but Vinyl record requires all the patience you have , it’ likes to play all the songs one after another and if you enjoy listening albums end to end, it ‘ll be your good friend Yes!! Yes they can be expensive, so calm down no one s asking you to buy them all at once. They are a good investment and are not subject to market risk :D , but Do read the offer adverts carefully , you may find a deal to steal on TRC.
