Vinyl Collectors of the Day, Derek Fulmer/Anna Gel

[Guest Admin]

Today, we bring you 2 Vinyl Collectors of the Day, Derek Fulmer and Anna Gelzis. We bring you two because Derek and Anna collect records together. The engaged couple met through music and share a common bond with collecting records. I gotta say that this is very cool for me to see. The situation typically finds a male record collector and a disapproving wife/girlfriend/fiance. Derek and Anna are different though; when they travel, they go record collecting together; when they are at home, they are listening to records together. Both Derek and Anna took the time to answer our questions on why they collect vinyl, their most prized records, records they would love to own and see pressed, and their thoughts on collecting variants. They also bring up an interesting question when answering what out of print record they would love to own. Their answer was Operation Ivy's "Energy" and it begs the question, why hasn't this been repressed yet. Epitaph reissued it on CD but never reissued it on vinyl.

Thanks Derek and Anna for submitting your vinyl collector of the day feature. I think that your common interest of collecting vinyl will be an inspiration for some couples out there and am certain a number of collectors will show this feature to their significant others saying check out this rad couple. Thanks guys.

VC: What out of print record would you kill to own?

We would kill to own the Operation Ivy self titled album.

I'm confused. What is the self-titled album. There are a zillion copies of Energy floating around.

those are all the shitty pic disc represses, and i dont think it has all the songs on it.

That's the way to go. My 2nd wife is gonna collect records with me!

There's just something hot about a girl holding a Lawrence Arms and a Hot Water Music record.

There are a zillion Lookout versions in Tokyo. Not first presses, but these are really easy to come by along with the 7"s and bootlegs. I think this couple should make a trip out here before killing someone.

I'd be too scared to date a girl who collects the same kind of records as me.

[controlthebleeding]

I wonder if he knows that version of the "My Aim Is True" is pretty common and not even a 1st pressing.
