How did you find Vinyl Collective?


Recommended Posts

I had a nice SW collection 10 years ago. When I came to this country 4 years ago, I took only an ipod. Over the past few months, I grew nostalgic for SW records and googled them for hours (hey, I swore off porn), which led to Hickey's posts, which led to asking my family to send them my records, which led to the discovery that all the rare SW were missing, all 7" found in the garage (in FL) and LPs stacked inside on top of each other.

In a burst of rage, I spent some of my savings trying to reclaim my SW collection via online dealers. Repeat visits to the thread where Hickey posted his pictures helped me in my search. I ordered from this site and checked out the board. There was a thread on comics, so I knew this was a good place to join up.

Plus, I have no friends that are into SW, so it's interesting to find like minds.

I first heard Drag The River not quite two years ago. I picked up several of thier records (lowest pressings of all the 12" except the Live At Oklahoma City) in an auction on ebay. I didn't really pay much attention to what label they were on at the time. The more I listened to them the bigger fan I became. I also started buying from vinyl collectives ebay store late last year. A friend of mine turned me on to Tim Barry and Chuck Ragan earlier this year when I let him listen to DTR. It didn't hit me that Tim and DTR were on the same label till about 3 months ago. It was then that I decided to thoroughly check out Suburban Home's site. I learned that they had several other artists I like as well and I have since become a huge, huge fan of the label.

Been ordering for a while, I found it on a whim. Been lurking for ages, finally joined today.

Same. Haha Edson, I didn't even realize this was you until I quoted. I just spent (or promised to spend) nearly seventy dollars on a tegan and sara LP on my first day. This will probably be the worst internet decision of my life.
