So this summer I dove into the world of vinyls or records. And I was wondering what member's prog collection looked like of vinyls (or just all record collection). Also voice some general opinions on the record... My prog collection consists of this now: Yes: Close to the Edge, Fragile, Going for the One, Tales of the Topographic Oceans Genesis: Selling England By The Pound Rush: Hemispheres, Grace Under Pressure Dream Theater: Metropolis pt.2 (I was wondering if anyone got one of the 3000 too?) Kansas: Leftoverture, The Point of Know Return ELP: ELP Jethro Tull: Like a best of Tull collection That's all prog I think so far, but i will be collecting more over time. I also got many Earth Wind and Fire records, some Keith Green, Frank Sinatra, and Glenn Miller Movie hits My opinion, I simply love the vinyl...

I have only one vinyl-Helmut Koellen-You Won't See Me It happens to be my favorite album, and doesn't exist on CD yet. The late Mr. Koellen happens to also be my favorite musician, and my musical hero. |

I have about 400 vinyl albums. The oldest is an original 1956 Woodie Guthrie album and the newest is the Decemberists 'Long Live the King' (a 7-inch EP). The oldest prog one is probably an original copy of Jethro Tull's 'Stand Up'. I had about 300 more at one time but got rid of a bunch of 80s crap several year's ago. I quit buying albums when cassettes became the norm (kind of regret that now since most of my cassettes dry-rotted years ago), and started buying them again when Godspeed You! Black Emperor started putting stuff out on vinyl. ------------- "Peace is the only battle worth waging." Albert Camus |

I inherited a reasonable amount of vinyl from my parents, including many prog classics, but in 2011 I began building a small collection of my own. Happened quite by accident - a record store I knew was closing and had the price reduced on new vinyl records. I thought "why not?" and got some. Then I kept buying them occasionally, either bargins or albums I truly enjoyed and wanted to get in the prettiest format available. I haven't gotten much, but I'm pleased with the 13 I've got so far. They are all new, recent heavyweight pressings, mostly with no-fuss replica of original package:  But there are a few whose packaging I'm really pleased it, such as these classic albums:  And these more modern ones:  ------------- Bigger on the inside. |

I have a reasonable collection of prog on vinyl. Probably around 200 or so albums, from a vinyl collection totalling around 450 albums.
I don't have a list, but I know I had all Genesis albums up to and including Invisible Touch. All Rush albums up to and including Presto. All Yes albums, apart from the first two, up to and including Big Generator, all Fish era Marillion, as well as numerous albums by ELP, Hawkwind, Tull, The Enid, Focus, Renaissance, Moody Blues, Zep, Purple, Maiden, Sabbath.. I don't know how many CD's I've got. All I know is that I'm gonna have to lose some of them soon. They are taking up a worrying amount of room in my small apartment! ------------- Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy! |

I've been collecting records since about 1980 - not buying nearly as often since CDs came out, but not really getting rid of any either. In fact, several times a friend of mine has given me his/her record collection to keep, when they have to relocate to a new house and don't want to move them all. It's a pretty even mix of classic rock, progressive, 80s bands, punk/hardcore, and "oddities" that I inherited but would never have bought on my own. Every now and then, I'll buy a recently released album on vinyl new, but mostly I just scavenge for random used LPs. I probably have about 500 LPs total. ------------- My other avatar is a Porsche It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle if it is lightly greased. -Kehlog Albran |

One of my bosses on my last job went on a vinyl collecting binge. He'd basically ask strangers and people he hardly knew if they had any they wanted to give away. Also salvaged the discs from my flood ruined collection. He was trying to launch a record crate business but that didn't work out at the time. I don't think he's given up on it though. Hell he might have finally found a backer. Haven't been in touch for over a year. I offered to get the word out for him on this site but he wasn't interested for some reason, but: http://nomadcrates.com/Nomad_Crates/Welcome_to_Nomad_Crates.html" rel="nofollow - http://nomadcrates.com/Nomad_Crates/Welcome_to_Nomad_Crates.html

Actually wholesale was his ambition, but you might be able to get some made for you still. He had a small company lined up that could have produced them. I think at this point he might still be hand making them. Those were. I've seen them personally and they really are top quality. I even did the drawings for him. David put a lot of hard work into trying to get this venture off the ground but I'm afraid the market for LP crates is limited even though vinyl has had a resurgence. http://www.stereophile.com/content/nomad-crates" rel="nofollow - http://www.stereophile.com/content/nomad-crates I received an interesting call today from a man named David Garrett in Atlanta, Georgia. David has 25 years of experience as an architect (in fact, he grew up in Highpoint, North Carolina—“Furniture Capital of the World”) and, for the last 13 years, has operated his own interior design company. He is aggressively and enthusiastically looking to change directions, however, and has recently started an LP rack business called Nomad Crates. “I’m 49 years old, so I have plenty of good experience and I’m still young enough to put it to work.” David wanted to design something that would be sturdy, “super-modular,” easily transportable, and relatively affordable. (People should be able to save on shelving and put more money toward buying records or audio equipment, he says.) Nomad Crates use domestically sourced wood and are built here in the United States. They ship in 4”-thick containers, arrive unstained and partially assembled, and can be disassembled for storage. Standard lengths are 18”, 24”, and 30”; a 24” Nomad Crate holds approximately 150 LPs and costs $50. Or just $0.33/LP. Which matches the price per LP cost of my http://blog.stereophile.com/stephenmejias/a_tale_of_two_racks/" rel="nofollow - Gothic Cabinet LP rack , but still misses the crazy-cheap $0.18/LP mark of my nicely finished http://blog.stereophile.com/stephenmejias/the_weight_of_my_loneliness/" rel="nofollow - Ikea Expedit shelves . But, then again, I can’t just rearrange my Ikea shelves to suit my mood or ever-growing LP collection, nor can I simply pick up and go with my Ikea shelves the way one might with the Nomad Crates. After all, the Nomad Crates are made to be transportable and configurable. (This is an interesting attempt at addressing a problem common to most vinyl fans. We want to lead these free lives—physically and intellectually free lives—but wind up burdened by these things we hold so dear. We are crowded, made immobile. The records own us as much as we own them. What’s up with that? Love?) In fact, while David says he designed these crates for music lovers, he’s also working with a department of the US government to devise larger versions of the design which can be utilized as temporary shelters, walls, and other sorts of structures. Your LP crate can even double as a shield against terrorist attacks! Just kidding. Professional DJs are going to seriously love these things, though. David tells me that http://www.myspace.com/2djturnsignal" rel="nofollow - DJ Turn Signal , an LA-based DJ perhaps best known for spinning Gene Simmons’ house parties, is already a big fan and will be promoting Nomad Crates in his videos. ------------- Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

I started changing from vinyl to Cd in 1987 and by 1990 pretty much everything I bought was on Cd. i was very reluctant to change - hated Cd's at first but vinyl was really dying then and I figured well if i have to change might as well do it now. I still have all my old vinyl (around 1000 albums) and occasional get something on it. I now have another 2000 + albums on Cd and sometimes think wouldn't it be great if this lot were on vinyl! |

I was an avid (obssessed) vinyl collector back in the day. It really started in the early '80's when new wave/synth pop/AOR was the topping the charts and the music video era was just starting . So lame and pompous I started the journey back in time in music and it was the late '60's/early '70's that caught my fancy. Hard rock/heavy psych/proto-metal/blues-rock/psych and of course prog was my obssession. Many of these albums from this time period were deleted and some were very rare and obscure and thus expensive to acquire, if I could find them. I went to record swap meets, used vinyl shops all over the Pacific Northwest flippin' through the bins. Also purchased from sellers listed in Goldmine magazine, Midnight Records in NYC and even ordered direct from Rhino Records in L.A. Vinyl was very cheap when CD's came into the market as alot of folks dumped thier collection. I've always been late to show trying to keep up with the insane acceleration of technology and finally did purchase a CD player and then a CD recorder and transfered alot my fav/prized vinyl to CD. Reflecting back to those collecting days, really it was a craziness. Contentment wasn't in my vocabulary then. Spent alot of dough though I see some of the prices some sellers are asking now for some vinyl is ridiculous. My vinyl is stacked in the garage on cinder blocks and 2X12s. I haven't purchased any vinyl for years though I know it's making a comeback. I'm content D/Ling and burning CD's now.

Went CD in 1988 with the "20 Years of Jethro Tull" box and Jimi Hendrix "Live at Winterland" CD only album and never bought a single vinyl since. Eventually sold all my vinyl off except "Thick as a Brick" w/ foldout newspaper, "Passion Play" w/ theater program, and 4 King Crimson '73/'74 bootlegs. I did convert a few rare prog albums to digital that hadn't gotten a CD release like Ethos "Open Up", Fireballet "Night on Bald Mountain" & Terraced Garden "Within" & "Braille". ------------- https://wytchcrypt.wixsite.com/mutiny-in-jonestown" rel="nofollow - Mutiny in Jonestown : Progressive Rock Since 1987 |

Hi,
I'm down to about 1500 LP's now and have been replacing them with CD's for the last 5 years or so. I don't have a house I own, and at 62 moving that stuff around is tough and hard and the music helps you, but it doesn;t last long enough to make the albums float to their new place!
I miss the art and how it was ... majestic!
CD's have more music though, and hearing the Caravan Synfonia Live album in its entirety is a lot better than the stuff on the LP, that is not even in the right order according to the CD notes!
As much as I love the art, I like the music better, but I get tired of 10 versions of the same song ... except "Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun" and "Atom Heart Mother" ... (bootlegs only!) and the rest can take a flying jump and leap into the ocean for all I care! ------------- Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told! www.pedrosena.com |

I'll take whatever you don't want to move around .....art and majesty are fully alive in my listening room!-------------

Wow !! Some awesome pics here on this thread. I've never seen a green cover to 'Ride The Lightening' and I didn't know 'Radiation' has a vinyl release. Looks great (and matches the stylus, too). Hope I get an update from Syn Phonic soon.
My vinyl collection numbers well into the 1600's - over 400 from Syn Phonic over the last 8 years. Greg is my prog dealer, and you can't break away from prog dealers coz they'll track you down and make your life misery, oh, hang on, wrong sort of dealer........

I have about 600....Used to have over 1,000 but lost many in several house moves over the years. I keep about 200 in a couple boxes in constant rotation near my system. The rest are on shelves not very near the system... Actually the cartridge is purple, for some reason looks bright blue in pics. What is Syn Phonic? -------------

| Syn Phonic is an amazing biz run by Greg Walker - Greg has a lot to do with the Prog-Fests and NEAR-Fests etc. He has a mind-blowing inventory which lists Prog from all over the world - his vinyl selections are incredible. Worth checking out. |

I'm down to about 400 pieces (all original pressings) these days....sold about another 400 when cd's came out, but those were mostly mainstream things. I kept all the good classic rock, prog rock, psych, jazz, and classical stuff.
I have maybe 40 or 50 interesting original pieces of vinyl by bands like Gravy Train, Indian Summer, May Blitz, Renaissance (first one) , Mandrake Memorial, and some other obscure things. ------------- One does nothing yet nothing is left undone. Haquin |

Not the best quality photo by any means, but this has to be one of my favorite Vinyl LPs I own. It's also the most limited, at 200 copies pressed
