A bunch of soundtracks, Metal Gear Solid coloured box set, Lost box set (no We All Everybody though), Challengers, Scream 1 and 2, Evil Dead 2, Army of Darkness, the Evil Dead remake, Teen Wolf, and Howard the Duck. A few others peppered in as well—NIИ FDTS, Manson, Gaslight Anthem, White Zombie picture disc, and a Glass Animals zoetrope.

Top Gun is probably one of the best movies I've watched, and the music in the film is iconic, so I thought "why not look for the vinyl?" and so I tried looking for it on the streets but couldn't find anything. Four months later, I have the mood to buy a Japanese pressing of anything I like, and after 2 hours I choose a Japanese pressing of the OST, with obi, insert, sticker and the shrink still being on! After a few days, the vinyl came to my house and did not disappoint. Holy grail for Top Gun's discography. The record is probably closer to Mint than Near Mint, since everything seems untouched and the vinyl having no scratches at all; only downside is it being opened.

After nineteen years of collecting records, I’m proud to say that this is my collection. It’s a work in progress, though, as there are still records I need to add to Discogs. Unfortunately, I haven’t had the time to update my discogs collection yet, but I plan to do that as soon as possible. As for the collection itself, it mainly consists of hard rock and metal albums. I’ve always been passionate about this genre, and over the years, I’ve built a collection that reflects my deep interest in these styles of music.

Most of the records in my collection are bought from new, but buying secondhand is also a good thing and I must admit, I’ve become a bit addicted to the thrill of finding new pieces. Whether it’s scouring local record shops, visiting flea markets, or hunting online, there’s something special about discovering a rare album or stumbling upon an unexpected gem.

I enjoy not just listening to the albums but also diving into the history behind them There’s a certain nostalgia to vinyl that digital music can’t quite match. The tactile experience of flipping through records, the warmth of the sound, and the larger-than-life album artwork are all part of the appeal.

You'd think for someone who owns a record shop I'd have a lot more albums than this 🤣 but as much as I want to keep every album from every collection that comes through the door, it just wouldn't be possible, plus I definitely don't have the space! Still, not bad for someone in their early 30s! See if you can guess one of my top favourite artists just based on this 😂 also drop an album I'm missing that should absolutely be in my collection.

I’ve seen all these fun collage pics lately and thought I’d throw my meager collection into the pot. I know it’s all over the place, but I’m mildly eclectic in my musical tastes. The question is, what is something missing that really stands out? I’ve been collecting for real for a few years, but I’ve been in the habit of purchasing some of my all time favs on vinyl for decades. Love me some nineties if that isn’t relatively apparent. I am a GenXer so bear in mind some of these may be the 4th or 5th media variation I’ve purchased of each album 🤬🤣

Anywho enjoy!

Constantly growing. I have been collecting for about 15 years now. Obviously not as excessive as many others here. There are quite a few worthy first pressings as well as many rare ones and limited editions. Sometimes even two different pressings of the same record. I also love collecting records by artists I truly admire. So i have many records by Arctic Monkeys, The Who, Oasis/Noel/Liam and german band Tocotronic.

So I wanna buy a record player but it will get expensive with all the albums I have to buy. I like the vibes of it but I can’t lie I will get expensive and I’m thinking. Can’t I just listen to music on my tv or phone? I know it ain’t the same but it will get expensive to listen to music. Please help me

• George Michael - Careless Whisper
• The Smiths - The Queen Is Dead

For a long time I wanted to get a record player and finally kids are old enough not to crash it immediately. Setup is quite basic but still brings a lot of joy!

Living in Japan and it seems impossible not to spend on the vinyl. Every work trip now is an opportunity to visit various record shops across the country.

Please share some recommendations based on the current collection.
