The thrill is in the chase or the discovery. What you buying?

Started my addiction in the 80s, I've never stopped.

I'm only buying re-releases at the moment, just really enjoying the theatre of it all and properly listening to an album again

No , just classic albums...i opened purple rain the other day and did a little shriek when I saw how shiny the cover was lol

Good album. Why the recent switch to vinyl?

Ive stopped a fair amount tbh, it's way too expensive these days. I find it quite unsustainable.

It's more annoying when you realise the price rise is due to huge popstars releasing their albums on Vinyl. I do have a good collection though, Inc the first print of the Twin peaks soundtrack and psycocandy (JAMC) I think I have some rare Disco Inferno stuff too

There was a good eBay shop where they weren't too badly prices, they came from the US so they took weeks to arrive but that's gone now due to Brexit

They them wireless speakers? Someone on here let on with a ridiculous top flight build. And our favourite kitchen and narrowboat builder does a nice sideline in bespoke mahogany speakers.
