Any other record collectors here?

I've been collecting records since I was about 14. Most of my records are LPs, but I have some 78s and some 45s too. I have had a bunch of colored vinyl & picture disks, but I sold & traded several of them off. I listen mostly to rock, but dabble in other genres too. My favorites are the novelty recordings. I'm a Doctor Demento fan from way back. I have a pretty good CD collection as well.

hi captain fred i just joined hobby talk still surfing around to see what else is here .
dr demento ,gives away our ages l.o.l my hubby was a fan till they pulled it off the air
it was a funny way of spending an evening listening to some of that whacky stuff i still remember that crazy song the free mexican airforce .time sure flys dont it .we collect a few records and cassettes among the other crazy thing we collect ,just bought an old record player this week the kind with the plastic dome on a steel pedastel from the 80s i guess .we have a few 78s from the big band era a few old buddy holly the rest is mostly l.p.s bob segar zz top and that kind of rock with a few country and blues and i like opera so have a few of them thats when hubby goes and cuts the grass when i listen to that stuff he is gone l.o.l we only have a few picture disk .the cars because we collect diecast and liked the old car on it .elvis because i allways liked him and jerry lee lewis .my husband liked him .we got rid of all the novelty records a long time ago
anyways i seen your name on hobby talk or joes diecast .its easy to remember because my hubby has a friend named fred and he was a captain on the lake freighters on the great lakes we live in ontario canada , the closest we have been to your area is a military base i think its the tank training base it was a long time ago .when we were running highway with our truck .we had a load of crates is all i remember .so check out the j.l.board i think there was someone else who posted today about records other than myself .i started a thread on what you and your lady collect i think that was where i saw it ,anyways there are still some of us that remember the domento show
can you go back as far as the shadow and all them old radio shows it was before my time but my hubby remembers them l.o.l and we just bought an rca record player with a c.d, am fm .old wooden retro look sounds not bad for the price 199. canadian at least we can listen to a record now and then .we dont have a lot of c.d.s dont like much of todays music just the old rock from the 50s to the 90s

Capt. Fred. I too listened to Dr. Dememto. Dead Puppies, Fish Heads, Vampire Beavers, etc. My record collection is unusual... the Crickets on 78, Herman's Hermits on 45 and everything you can imagine.

But my all-time favorite is "Lester the Roadhog Moran and His Cadillac Cowboys"
"Alive at the Johnny Mack Brown High School". Ever hear of it?

i think captain fred thought he was alone l.o.l now there are 3 demento fans .dont remember lester the roadhog moran and his cadillac cowboys ,but fish heads and dead puppies i remember .and i think waylon jennings would have been one of the crickets when the 78 s were produced .

Hey free spirit & Malibu'er!

Here is a link to the Doctor Demento online archives.

You can explore and listen to actual shows from recent to several years past. I've been listening to & downloading some of my favorite novelty tunes that are otherwise unavailable. There is a discussion forum there too, but last time I looked no one had responded to my post yet.

BTW, I actually have a 45" single of "The Free Mexican Airforce". I also recently found a picture record of Fred Blassie's "I bite the songs" album. Remember "Pencil Necked Geek & Geeks Revenge"?

I haven't heard Lester the Roadhog though.

hey captain fred i checked out the site have to go back when i have more time .
fred blassies name sounds familiar ,pencil necked geek i remember .cool you have a single of that song the free mexican airforce ,i dont know why but i always liked that tune .guess its because i like all types of music we have it on an old cassette taped off the radio .but thanks for the info,ill check it out when i get a little better with the computer .and have a little more time im supposed to be packing boxes for our move and im listening to old records .l.o.l my hubby did say check them out before i packed them if they are no good toss them out ,maybe he means look at them l.o.l.
t.t.y.l.

Id like to collect all the Rush Albums. havnt gotten around to it yet..
Im also looking for any Soundgarden items or Chris Cornell related items.

I have a picture disc of Hemispheres and a 10" red vinyl single of Analog kid. I think the last vinyl Rush album I bought was Signals. Everything since that one is on CD or from the internet. I have most of Soundgarden's albums on CD. I think I might also have Temple of the Dog. I have both of Audioslave's albums too. My favorite Audioslave song right now is "Doesn't remind me of anything".

My favorite decades for music are the 70s & 90s. There was some good music in the 80s too, but I'm kinda burnt out on a lot of it. I like a lot of the new rock too. We just went to Green Day a couple weeks ago. My daughter loves them. They put on a good show. I was glad that they played quite a few of their older tunes.

Wow! Dr. D!

Big HELP! Erving! and STAR DRACK! hahahahaha

I love it all 40's, 50's, 60's, 70's and the 80's. Jazz, Brazil samba jazz/pop, CLASSIC ROCK Pink Floyd, ELP, YES, MOODY BLUES!
The Clash, Boom town Rats, Split Enz etc etc.

Some on vinyl most on disc. Vinyl still sounds better!

also a big elvis fan.jailhouse rock on 78 rest on 33 (about 60 albums).had to throwaway 2 45s due to hurricane izzy in 2003.that hurt.i do have a pic disc from stryper. anyone dable in plastic canvas?my honey is fantastic at it. :thumbsup:

We (fiance and I ) still have most of the records we had as kids. We're in our early 40's now. Our fav's are the 45's from Apple records. We actually have a couple that were produced by Paul M and George H.

I've got a record collection also with some really old record players (The kind you wind up and plays 78's). The volume control is how far you open the front slots.I've got an old Dual turntable also with some 45's from the 60's-70's and albums from the 60-80's.Even have some quad tapes for a reel to reel that I had back then.

anyone got kiss records

i have 3 kiss records + a crate full i think its awesome since i was born in 86 i think i was born in the wrong generation

hey man,

nothing comes up but ringtone crap and advertisements. maybe the link got hijacked.

my first record was Pink Floyd Darkside of the moon for 50 cents at a garage sale at the age of 13 now im fifteen and have collected some older stuff Thriller, Def Leppard, Ted Nugent my Fav.

I've still got all the vinyl from my high school days in the 70s, and the wife gave me a stereo with a turntable a few years ago, so I have something to play them on. Last year I found a guy that runs a booth at a local flea market, and his main deal is old records. He has tons of unopened albums from the 50s, 60s, 70s and early 80s. He also has some of the brand new re-releases of old albums. I've picked up a bunch of stuff like Joe Walsh, Ted Nugent, Deep Purple, some old R&B and others. I even got a remastered version of "Paranoid", since my old record was about played out. He closed down for the winter, but hopefully he'll be up and running again soon.

I worked in a record store in the late 70's and have about 3,000 albums over that period. I primarily collect new wave and will get around to digitally recording them one of these days.
