 Topic: How do you pick your vinyls?

I get you, but to me, it just features every thing on the list, and the more things on the list that are also on the vinyl, the better.

There is some magical factor that atracts me to buy music, something that feels like an higher autority. I do know (about) the most vinyls I buy, but I do tend to look after and choose those with the great artwork. Sometimes I just can resist buying a record, Rockpommel's land by Grobschnitt and Cook by PFM are my latest unresistable additions.

I just found a great site for vinyls, and I mainly go by the cover there. At first I make a list of a few albums that seem interesting on PA, then listen to a few tracks on youtube, then put priorities by artwork, but if the music sucks then it's disqualified, and the top priority gets it, I guess.

I go by what's on sale. REALLY!!! Because since buying new vinyl releases is more costly than CD's nowadays, I look for the specials. There's a couple of recently released Mobile Fidelity pressings I want but not at 40-60 bucks a pop.

Sadly no. The vinyl shop I used to frequent, suddenly cut back on the amount of rock and prog vinyl it stocked. My last few visits were so fruitless, I've not gone back..
But it was a good shop while it lasted. I sniffed out numerous great albums there, Tulls 'A Passion Play' and 'Live at Carnegie Hall' by Renaissance..
All had a really good smell about them; reminiscent of old attics..

70% appearance, 30% music. When it comes to vinyls, I'm more of a collector than a listener.

When I was buying them it was the music but I love cover art. At the other end of the spectrum with covers you can get them that bad they are good. Saw one on the Italian thread the other day and it was tacky.they had on these horrible tights but it is the music no matter what the cover.

When you are burning something in the name of religion why should the environment matter?

Because God made the rainforests.

It has to be music I love and have great artwork too because vinyl to me is about the entire package.
