JV's Ramblings and other such nonsense!
- Thread starter Johnny Vinyl
- Start date
Impressive my friend, truly impressive! And if I know you every LP and CD has been spinned at least once.
You were thinking about buying LPs I am sure. I think you started early.
Just found your corner John, great stuff.

That I have Marty!, that I have!
I likely was and started in 1967 when I bought my first album ....Beatles '65 (still have it).
Kinda forgot about this thread. Thanks for dropping by and I'll see about making more regular posts.
The vast majority were individual purchases at a few shops in Montreal. I used to drive to a place called Phantasmagoria in downtown Montreal every Saturday morning and I'd spend hours in there....always leaving with multiple new releases. Bought almost nothing between about 1985-2000 and then started buying some used vinyl. Once the vinyl resurgence started I was back at buying new releases and reissues. It's been a fun journey!
Thanks Amir! I just read the whole thread and yeah.....good fun. Need to further my contributions again!This is one heck of a fun thread. I had forgotten my own posts in it until I ran into them.
Thanks to Recordsguy for bringing it back to life!
Interestingly JV I have about 2-3K worth of lp's and haven't bought s single one since the late 80's. Around 3k in disc's now (cd,SACD, DVDA)
Lp's are now split between sons who are slowly selling them off to collectors. Usually for the covers and vinyl care.
Another FYI some are being loaned out to their friends who are into vinyl and are shocked at the quality care the lp's are in.
I'm readying a laptop by cleaning it out, so I can give it to my girlfriend who's MacBook just bit the dust. Glad I did as I had hundreds of pics on it. Found a few pics of my very first audiophile-type turntable, a Revolver Red with Jelco arm. I was still using it up to about 5-6 years ago and still have it. Been toying with the idea of bringing it back, but I need a new belt and would want to bring it in for service, just to make sure it's still up to snuff. I'd probably add the same cartridge as shown in the pic (Grado Ref Platinum) and use it for some old LP's who's condition may not be as I would like or just for a different flavour in sound.
Done doing my prep for tonight's Honey Garlic Chicken drumsticks and Chips. Fresh Caesar Salad on the side.
