Looking to by myself a record player guys. Nothing too pricey, just summit to use in the flat. Anyone recommend one at a decent price. Also does anyone on here collect vinyl and looking to get rid of any?

Even though second hand you should take a look for a technic deck in decent condidtion. i think to buy new they are around 300 quid but imagine you might pick one up second hand for around 150-200. I got mine from a friend who got his new around 13 years ago, he got them serviced before i got them and they are as good as new, if you already have an amp etc etc then it would be a great addition, the things are rock solid.

What kind of vinyl are you after?

Indie rock, punk, mod, soul. Anything from Small Faces, Kinks, The Who, The Jam, Weller, Libertines, Arctic Monkeys, The Strokes, some original Ska would be good. That sort of thing.

Awright CB, Rachel's Dad here :wink:

I have loads of vinyl that I hardly ever play but I can't decide what stuff I want to keep!! Huge pile of punk singles, loads of punk/new wave albums including most Jam albums plus tons of other albums from folk to metal and a box of disco 12 inch singles too. No original ska but I've got the single of Gangsters by the Specials and 1 or 2 Beat singles.

Are you wanting to buy or are you on the lookout for freebies? I could PM you a list of the stuff I'm willing to part with....once I've actually decided!

I would be interested in seeing what punk stuff you are interested in selling too.
I've just started buying a fair bit of vinyl again of late and always keen to add more to my collection.

I'm really wanting to keep most of my punk singles, but once I have a proper look there will be a few that I know I'll never play again (pish like London Girls live by the Vibrators immediately springs to mind :greengrin).

I could do with getting shot of some albums though. I'll let you know once I get round to it :aok:

Hey JV, hows tricks? Not been on this for a few days. I would be willing to buy some albums, not really fussed about singles as such. If you could get a list together mate that would be appreciated.

Cheers
