Collectors Album
Facts For Jazz And Rock Vinyl Album Collections
People collect records for a lot of reasons. The introduction of the compact disc (CD) in 1982 didn’t whittle down the LP albums. The classic vinyl albums’ popularity was renewed to both musicians and music lovers, which is in contrast to what occured. Every year, millions of vinyl records are sold to a lot of vinyl record collectors who switched to CD collecting out of convenience. What are the reasons behind record collecting? For some, they are attracted to a piece of their past and for others, they just found the feel and sound of vinyl, be it jazz vinyl or rock vinyl, to their liking.
Vinyl collectors are a diverse bunch; you can’t really identify them as member of this or that. Though they may be called “audiophiles” or “geeks”, this doesn’t describe all of them; they are people from all walks of life. Doctors, lawyers, businessmen, housewives, politicians, factory workers, waitresses, rock musicians – name them all. These collectors would go anywhere just to find that one special record that perfectly fits their collection. However, their collection could never be complete as they go off again finding the next special piece of record. You can find these people in garage sales, church bazaars, flea markets, record shows, online aution, yard sales, and a lot of them are just behind their computers, browsing the Interent for their next find.
Collecting vinyl albums takes a great deal of your time and effort. Each piece in your collection needs to classified, cleaned, organized and taken care of. But feeling the grooves on your hand before playing it on the turntable is priceless. A piece of live history was just in your hands and of which you are now listening to. It has outlive reel tapes, track tapes, cassette tapes, and CDs. Vinyl records are still here in spite of the presence of iPods and digital downloads; they have not been totally phased out.
DJs who keep on spinning rock vinyl records in clubs and artists who press for vinyl releases of their albums; anyone who buys vinyl for its sound quality and for purists who want to preserve not only the vinyl records themselves, but their jackets and sleeves – vinyl records are here to stay. Collectors, local bands, and record companies have a differnt way of life; they retain a piece of the past and our culture.
