    First of alll..... Glad to be back fellas. Its been a while.... Ive FINALLY moved into my new pad in Houston and damn does it fell good to be home....

    I almost kicked my fathers own ass this past weekend. He just moved into a new house with my step-mom and we were taking the wet trash to the curb. As I was moving a heavy box that wasnt so wet, I peeked in to see what was in there.

    Oh yes..... try not to cry...... VINTAGE VINYL RECORDS!!!!!!:eek:

    Ok Ok Im thinking maybe this isnt so bad.... He probably only has like barry manilow or some **** like that

    NOPE!!!

    Here are the highlights of what I found:

    THE BEATLES F*CKING WHITE ALBUM!!! :eek:
    Bob Dylan - Greatest Hits Vol. 1 & 2
    The Moody Blues - On The Threshold of a Dream
    Crosby Stills Nash Young - Various Albums (too many to list)
    Rod Stewart - Every Picture Tells a Story
    Cat Stevens - Tea For The Tillerman
    Steve Miller Band - Various Albums
    James Taylor - Greatest Hits
    Carole King - Tapestry
    Simon and Garfunkel - Parsley, Sage / Bookends
    Billy Joel - The Stranger
    The Beatles - Rubber Soul

    Needless to say, I was pissed at my dad. Dude thought they werent worth anything, but I told them that I would buy a freaking turntable just so I could listen to this classic stuff.

    That would have been a tragedy folks.....

    Wow. A near tragedy! You're like The guy in Almost Famous whose older sister lays some records on him as she's moving out. His life is never the same. :cool:

    I still have my vinyl from when I DJ'd. I've been dragging that heavy crap around w/ me for years, and they're prob all warped by now anyway. :)

    Isn't it amazing how heavy records are? I have a bowed top shelf in my closet from a row of records. I've got somewhere between 300 and 400 albums. They take up a lot of space, which gets me grief sometimes from the old lady. I've managed to hang on to them and many still haven't come out on disc.

    Heyyyyy. I love Barry Manilow! I've got his greatest hits in my CD right now. I think I'll go play Mandy just to spite you.

    Mine was $90. I have no idea if I was ripped off or got a good deal.

    Why is The Beatles' White Album so valued?

    I was always under the impression that Beatles stuff wasn't as valuable as you would think, since they sold so many copies, there are a lot still in circulation.

    If you need a new turntable or need to get one fixed, check out Sound Exchange at Richmond Ave. and Hazard. They did unbelievable work on my early-70s Pioneer heavy swingarm turntable, and it works better than ever.

    Nont a single one of those record was worth more than a $1 unless they were some super rare edition.


    I can walk into any record store in the city and pick those up for $2-3 a piece, or buy brand new represses for around $15.

    So, I guess they'd be worth $2-3, eh? ;)

    I knew someone with half a brain would come up with that response.

    The record store marks stuff up, otherwise they wouldn't make money.
