Record Collectors
I’ve recently taken an interest in collecting records, because I finally bought a record player. Now, unless you want to spend the money on a stereo system along with the record player, some stores sell vinyl players with speakers built in. You can also plug speakers in to give a louder sound. I can barely listen to CDs after hearing the sound that comes in a vinyl. The uncompressed version of an album is so much more inviting than something you hear all the time, like on the radio. I’ve also realized the importance of hanging on to old records, they are fun to collect and only the best music comes on vinyl because of the work that is involved with making them. Some good places to buy records are at Backspin Records, Waterloo Records, Antone’s, and at garage sales or thrift stores. For a record player, I bought mine at Urban Outfitters. You could also shop through pawn shops and thrift stores.
