I do realize that there have been several other threads with similar questions in them but plagiarizing sucks. Anyway, I'm on my school's newspaper staff and I am writing an spread on collecting vinyl. I need "expert" testimony for my articles and would really appreciate it if I could get your input. Deadline if Friday. Please answer the questions and tell me how you want to be cited if I decide to use your quote. You can pm me this if you want. 1) Why do you personally collect vinyl? Why do you think vinyl is collected in general? 2) With CD sales plummeting and digital music taking over, why do you think vinyl is relevant? 3) What is your most prized record and why? 4) Do you have a personal limit on how much you'll spend on a single record? 5) What are your thoughts on digital only releases and digital music in general ? 6) If you live in the L.A area, what are some of your favorite places to get records? If not, what are your favorite places online to get vinyl? 7) What is the most rewarding thing about collecting vinyl? 8) Other comments... Thanks so much. Also, if anyone cares, I can mail you a copy of the paper with the spread in it.

+ Found an envelope containing exactly enough money for the Sink or Swim repress while cleaning stuff out. -Spent the whole day cleaning -Preparing to move sucks -Didn't go to Amoeba for Record Store Day as planned +Possibly going to Amoeba tomorrow on someone else's tab -Spring break is almost over

I bought STD's Stay What You Are about a month ago for $2 at Out of The Closet. Not buying vinyl for a month makes me sad. I'm hoping to scrape up enough money for the Sink or Swim reissue before those are gone.

Hi. I'm obviously new to the boards and fairly new to collecting. I came by way of random link to pre order something I ended up being too poor to buy. That was a couple months ago and I've been lurking ever since. I figured I'd finally join because vinyl has consumed all my money so why not let it consume my free time.
