Vinyl 'must haves'

[giw12]

I had a bit of wife and sprog free time yesterday and spent a few hours listening to some vinyl. It's a good old turntable and Ziggy Stardust/Closer/Weld/Never Mind..... sounded pretty amazing.

It got me thinking that it's probably time I got my vinyl LP collection sorted. It's fairly extensive already but I'm sure there are some gems out there that I haven't got.

So.....what albums do you really HAVE to own on vinyl?

None of them, clearly he was having a stupid attack.

Any of these, plus perhaps Rage in Eden by Ultravox

Good call on the Lone Star, though.

Steely Dan - Aja.


I've always been partial to Deep Purples Made in Japan.

You'd be as well getting some contemporary classics on vinyl, they'll be a lot more scarce in years to come than the coffe-ring stained Tubular Bells you see floating around every car boot sale north of Dover.

[Sprouts]

Hawkwind, X In Search Of Space.

Anything up to Hot Space really.
My favourites are;
Queen
Queen II
A Day at the Races
A Night at the Opera
News of the World

If you can find originals they have a liitle extra. e.g. Queen II is a gatefold, and when open it is in colour as opposed to the later re-issue which is black and white.

HTH.
