Who spends $100's a month on CDs/records though??? lol You can buy CDs for like less than a $1 on Amazon and new releases are generally $10 because they are often digipaks not jewel cases... I get the impracticaly aspect though, which is why most DJs dont use records these days...

When I graduated from high school I lived out of my parents basement. When I got paid I'd drop $100 on records like it was nothing. I was into 70s Funk and Soul like James Brown, The Meters, Kool & The Gang, Bob James, Herbie Hancock, Freddie Hubbard. Basically anything you could sample.
Well if you spend a $100 a month on records (which in the 70s is more like $400 now) I wouldnt be surprsied if they went broke...
Like anything in life, you can just spend what you afford, you dont need to buy 1000 cds a month or buy a cd the day it comes out with the internet around...
I cant believe we debating either buy CDs or save for retirement...

I totally forgot it was record store day...and I had got an email about it!
Wheres the wicked shit?
Don't ask me dumb shit
Try and guess what album buying?
Vinyl is a waste of time and money.
I collected vinyl since the 70s (I was born in 1973 and I can remember my mother buying a Funkadelic album for me when I was about 5). I collected Hip Hop all through the 80s into the 2000s.
Generally speaking they pressed too many copies of just about everything. Used records aren't worth anything because DJs switched to mp3s. mp3s sound better than vinyl. And If you're a DJ it's much easier to bring a laptop to a party than crates of records that aren't clean and have a lil snap, crackle and pop.
As a person who had a 2000+ vinyl collection, unless you have money to burn, you'd be better off collecting mp3s and spending your money on something else.
You can go on discogs.com and there's very, very few record albums, or 12's, that have any intrinsic value.
And the days of buying a record, holding it for 20 years and reselling it at a profit are long gone. The vinyl market pretty much went south in the late 90s when mp3s got popular. The record labels kept pressing vinyl, like it was the 90s, but DJs switched to mp3s and that was the last demographic of people that bought vinyl.

analog audio >>>>>>>>>> digital audio.
And vinyl does sound better, but hip hop ain't the music to buy for that.
... But shit like this? You listen to it on vinyl with a decent setup and you'll hear the difference right away.

Jokes aside, I started collecting vinyl a few years back in college. But that shit gets expensive! even if you're just buying used records

Hit your local Goodwill, Salvation Army, Savers/Value Village/etc. I've found some gems in them spots, usually for only $1-$2.
