One of my faves besides antiques, pottery, advertising, etc., I've been collecting for almost thirty years, I'm a music lover... my tastes tend to run from the 60's to 70's rock, psych, and prog but I like a lot of other styles too... most of what I try to collect and seek out is rather obscure to some but I like a lot of the mainstream music too... I'd like to hear from other collectors, if there any out there on this circuit...
Mine is more an accidental collection, LOL. It's what I had growing up and just never got rid of. Since I have stuff from the late 50's onto the 70's...it's a fairly eclectic collection. Liz
Vinyl here. Collecting since the 1960's ... and still buying recordings from the 1950's to present. I make it a point when we go to major cities to check out the recycled records shops.
Mainly obscure classical recordings of favorite performers 40's-70's, 60-70's R&R and Jazz, solo piano/guitar/cello 50's-80's albums, classic Scottish & Irish folk music, US folk music. Add in a smattering of Silly Wizard and other more recent folk music in modern format, SteelyeSpan, Jefferson Airplane, Enya, Joe Cocker, John Entwhistle, Cowboy Junkies, and it's a pretty varied collection.
Preference given to exceptional pressings/musical presence/exceptional performances. A lot of HarmoniaMundi, DeutschGramophone, and other Euro pressings; have many USA pressed/released albums and have sought out the Euro press/released albums of the same ... you can really hear the difference, especially in acoustic instruments and natural vocals.
I stupidly unloaded all my vinyl albums several years ago...http://www.sledxtreme.com/images/smiles/icon_frown.gif (broken link) but I did hang onto one. Maybe someone here has an answer for me. I bought a Supertramp album "Made in America" back in the seventies. I popped it onto the turntable and listened to side one then flipped it over and much to my surprise side two is the Police! So I have an album that has two different artist on it when it was supposed to just be one. Anybody ever heard of this before?

Sounds pretty diverse...I like that You mentioned the Airplane... I'm going to see Hot Tuna on August 3rd (electric) at Skippers Smokehouse... Jorma and Jack will be a show to follow... can't wait until Savoy Brown returns too... whats your take on the first 5 Fleetwood Mac Lp's?
While I respect the musical talent of Fleetwood Mac ... I just never got into their albums, sorry.
Thats the situation with a lot of well-known big sellers for me ... I just didn't get into their music. Was just listening to Persuasion's "We came to play" now .... after Loreena McKennit's "the visit". Had the Studer warmed up earlier with some Johnny Cunningham tapes from a live performance at a school back in Nova Scotia a few years back.
I don't necessarily collect them, but I've got a bunch. More than 500 at last count, not including 45s. I didn't quit buying records until 1990, when my favorite record store quit carrying vinyl. I've got stuff from classical Spanish guitar and cheesy salutes to the Glenn Miller Orchestra, to Joy Division and the Cult.

I'm not talking about the bleating lamb stevie nicks version or even the prior bob welsh setup (which it pretty good too), I'm talking about the 1st three lp's, Fleetwood Mac (1968), English Rose (1969), Then Play On... (1969). If You like John Mayall or Early Savoy Brown then these are to be checked out. These three are nothing like anything after and anybody whom I've played them for hadn't a clue as to who it was.

Glenn Miller Orchestra and The Joy Division, its like black and white, up and down, life and death...
