A vinyl heads' up: The heavens have opened up in South Orange County.

Vinyl Asylum

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

Orange County (CA) residents - GET THEE HENCE to the SA on Mercury Road in Lake Forest! I bought 46 LPs (all @ a buck - there are no deals in life, Sonny) and didn't make a dent in the new stuff that was just put out yesterday (easily 1,000+). Apparently, it never occurred to SA to dribble this veritable trove out in increments.
I saw several other enthusiasts crawling and looking and struck up some great conversations w/ 'em (of course, we kept on cullin' - C'mon, are ya nuts?). There are literally crates that have not been looked at, since they're under the ones that are being .
Stuff I bought:
Joni Mitchell: s/t, Mingus, Miles of Aisles
Pentangle: s/t
Traffic: s/t
Lee Michaels: s/t
Jonathan Edwards: s/t
Stones: BTB, England's New Hit Makers
Rare Earth: Get Ready
Ten Years After: Undead, ASIT
Chambers Bros.: The Time Has Come
Elton John: Empty Sky
Fleetwood Mac: Penguin
John Mayall: Turning Point
The Cure: The Top
The English Beat: I Just Can't Stop It
Ambrosia: SINT
Pat Metheny: New Chautauqua, SLT
Hendrix: band of Gypsies
Brubeck: Time Out, GWTW
Ellington: Seattle Concert
Ahmad Jamal: But Not for Me
Chico Hamilton: w/ Paul Horn
Jimmy Smith: Who's Afraid of Virgina Wolff?
Erroll Garner: Deep Purple
Keith Jarrett: Great Moments w/
Sinatra: S4SL, CDwM, TL, OTL, IRT, Just One of Those Things
Quincy Jones: The Dude
Crusaders: Street Life
Moussorgsky: Pictures (2 versions - Ashkenazy and Previn)
Stuff I didn't: I left classical there that I'd normally would've picked up in a moment, if I didn't have enuff already in my trembling arms. I put back dupes of stuff I had. There's much more rock, pop, and classical (including opera boxsets), and even some more jazz. Ella, Sinatra, OMD, Split Enz, CSN&Y, Prince, Quincy Jones, Santana, Keith Jarrett (Koln Concert). Plus, the usual like Fleetwood Mac and Boston. There're lotta 45's, also.
I won't even begin ta tell ya that this experience happened after I went to Amoeba on Tuesday and picked up 25 new and used elpees. Like I really needed 70+ to listen to this weekend! Good thing the wife's gone.
I'll stop now if ya promise ta go.
