Yay!!

Started listening to this sucker on vinyl and one thought is running through my head!!! These songs are so much faster!!! Now, is this just me, or is this possible, for the vinyl to be faster than the CD???

Depends on what speed you've got your turntable set at.

Cool!

I remember the day I bought RAL on vinyl .It was on the day it was released in Nov. 1985 at the Tower Records that used to be by the San Diego sports arena.

I have RAL on vinyl but I am in the process of getting a turntable now... I'm SO excited for one. I think it really highlights the experience of an entire album when you can't really skip ahead even if you want to.

I'm also hopefully getting a turntable! The only highlight of my grandparents moving out of the house that they've lived in for over 30 years and into an assited living apartment/nursing home is that I get a lot of old/vintage stuff that they forgot about. I'm really loving all of this jewelry I keep finding. They also have close to the 300 vinyls in their home. I've scoured all the stacks for FM albums, because my mom had all of them, but NONE of them are anything from artists from the past 30 years. And about half of the vinyls are Al Jolson.

But atleast they have thy glorious turntable! (But it's stero... so I'll need something to play it on... I think...)

Oh and I found several half price book stores near my house! I'm superrr excited, so hopefully no Ledgies have cleaned out the ones near me!

I've recently got into vinyl. I found Rumours, Tusk and Bella Donna on ebay for quite good prices (£1.20, £4 and 99p).

I use my parents' turntable to listen to them, but I'm hoping to get my own soon.

I'm finding it IMPOSSIBLE to track down a decent, reasonably priced turntable. It's a nightmare! There are so many records and vinyl copies of FM and solo stuff I want (I have a lovely condition copy of Tusk and Rumours right now). I just can't justufy buying more if Ihave nothing to play them on though...I'm pushed for space in the flat as it is. I'dmake room for a turntable so I could start collecting though!

Back in those days we just lifted up the needle and lowered it onto the next groove.

here is the turntable I bought. The sound is pretty good and it doesn't take up much space. The price isn't that bad either.

I have all the main lp's of FM and Stevie and got them all on ebay. Most of the between $3-$7, good shape and they all play great!! I bought a record player/cd player/tape player/radio in a wooden case, real nice for $99.99 at target and also seen them at K-Mart as well. I love mine.

It's on the regular speed. The songs sound just a little faster, nothing terribly much so!

I have all the fleetwood mac stevie nicks solo records on vinly and cd i do have turntables too its been a while since i have listened to my vinly collection i remember the good old days and also cassettes too. well in the eighties they released records on vinly, cd and cassettes i want to say cd's came out in 1984 or 1985 i think not sure exactly so you had three formats you can get the record on i bough all formats...lol i loved the vinly its good to see people are still interested in it. I loved it back then i remember when cd's first came out to hear a crisp clear cd with no crackle from the vinly was awesome the crackle from the vinly was so used to hearing it on a record.
