What got you into Vinyl ? (kbin.social)

I started collecting almost 3 years ago when I kept popping into a record store @waxandbeans. Couldnt afford a decent turntable until recently though so I waited. Money was all over the place so I bought and sold but Ive got back all the ones I sold. For me its a combination of the sound quality and The local community on it.

But what got you into Vinyl ?

This is gonna show my increasing status as an older guy, but I grew up around my dad's small collection of Zeppelin and Clapton records. Inherited them too. But they sat alone until vinyl started making a comeback. Now they're joined by Electric Wizard, Windhand, Bell Witch, and some Sabbath represses. And more.

So at some point I'd wound up on Bandcamp after the digital age took over my music acquisition, and I saw that the bands I was listening to were releasing on vinyl. Doom loves vinyl. And I love doom. So I started ordering records of my favorites.

I had a co-worker was way into vinyl lifetime, used to DJ professionally. He recommended a few things. Massively upgraded my listening experience.

And I'm thankful vinyl made a comeback because 8-tracks sucked. I did not take any of those from my dad's collection.

Cheers the a fellow Doom vinyl geek. I just received the new Bell Witch and haven't gotten to spin it yet. Haven't even heard it period. Waiting for this to land.
