Welcome Licorice Pizza (LP) lovers! Setup guides and Vinyl FAQ.

Life is long. Plan ahead.

Basically been 'collecting' stuff I love since 1964. My first LP, bought with "my own money" when I was 13 was Vee-Jay's "Introducing the Beatles"-- its a little crackly from being played on my dad's Stromberg-Carlson console hi-fi but sounds quite fine!

I probably never bought an album I DIDN'T like... WIth 4000LP's I suppose there's a few (hundred) lunkers in there though!

Most of the big surge in my collection that came from frenzied buying when CD's took over and Goodwill overflowed, literally, with vinyl (maybe around 1986-87, if memory serves). The acquisition from that time included a lot of excellent stuff. Since I was able to buy LP's for as little as $.10/each, I took many chances on bands I had never heard of, and a lot of classical I couldn't qualify with regard to quality of the performance or pressing... The stuff that was crap I mostly sold or gave back to Goodwill-- by the box-full.

So now I'm retired and have 4000 or so LP's, including about 3-4 moving boxes (what's that, maybe 500 or so LP's?) I've yet to clean and play for the first time! WAHOO!! That stash is a source of total joy. It includes about 100 LP's I picked up living in Europe and 125 organ records-- which make for a suitable highbrow pastime for a sophisticated old due like me!!
