WELCOME TO THE NEW DEPARTMENT
This addition to The Crime Lounge has been opened to cater for the vast amount of vinyl lovers out there. The original idea of this new area was to gather together the best of the video's on YouTube, however, it will probably grow as people visit and suggest various other things to include.
A Vinyl Forum has been opened to leave any suggestions, thoughts (Click the big LP in the middle column), or just general ramblings about any facets of the record collecting hobby. I'm sure I'm not alone in enjoying seeing pictures (and videos) of other people's collections, for that reason I've started a list of message boards/forums that have threads featuring photo's of people's vinyl storage collections. You will find this in the right-hand column and please feel free to add a link to any others you think may be of interest to us (you can drop the links in the Vinyl Forum)

((((( WELCOME TO THE VINYL LOUNGE FORUMS )))))
The idea is simple!
I hope to create a meeting place for the vinyl crowd to get together and talk about the hobby. There are already hundreds of music blogs dedicated to sharing vinyl rips so we won't duplicate that here (although you are feee to do so).
The Vinyl Lounge is a place to go where you can get your fix of video's, pictures and general links to interesting places that revolve around the hobby of collecting vinyl records.
Got a link to a great video about vinyl? Drop it here!
Have a story about how you got into collecting vinyl? Or how it is taking over your life :)
tell us about it!
Let's see how it goes....
Thanks for the movie J, I've nearly finished it. My record collecting began with Elvis P and graduated into soundtracks. I remember vividly standing in HMV on Oxford Street and saying I want all these records. The first soundtracks I remember buying were The James Bond Collection: 10th Anniverasy double LP from WH Smiths in Sutton, The Sicilian Clan & My Name is Nobody both from HMV Oxford Steet.
Later on, I did, for a brief moment in my life, start buying vinly for no other reason than to save it from obscurity. I found myself enjoying cover and disc cleaning more than the actual music. Before moving to Australia (I'm of course back now) I dumped boxes of the stuff in the charity shops. Then, when I returned from Australia, I returned to my habit and began collecting those Top Of The Pops records and other such drivel. I cleaned 'em up, displayed 'em to myself then promptly returned them from whence they came, vowing never to waste my money again on junk. Which in truth I have not, though I do like a browse from time to time. I have to confess that I often used to sign some of the vinyl covers for amusement before dumping them - please note that I did not try and forge anyone's signatures, I just imagined what various people's signatures might look like. Anyway.
one day, when I went into a charity shop, I saw The Eurythmics soundtrack for 1984 displayed on a shelf behind the counter, selling in double figures. It was signed by Annie Lennox herself or rather it was signed by me. Everyone who knew about it said I should have left it there for some collector to take a hit, but I had to tell the kindly old lady that I had signed it. I am still not sure if she believed me.
I've still got about 600 vinyls and about 200 7s that I probably won't part with.
