I've found Zeppelin to be pretty pricy. At least I, II, and IV.

Was just gonna post the same thing....haha. I just got three U2 albums for like, $6. So there's that.

[MaLaKaS]

What record players & systems are you guys currently using?

[drummerkrf]

Nothing special. Just a little ~$100 AT-LP60 plugged into an old 5.1 system in the living room.

Eventually I'm going to have to bite the bullet on some of that Zeppelin though....

I'll be passing on anything U2

You NEED to listen to Zeppelin the way it was meant to be heard. Go find a local record shop that has used vinyl and pick up some Zeppelin that way. They won't be sealed, mint condition or first pressings, but they'll be more than worthwhile and you might be able to find a few copies pretty cheap.

They're not cheap.

I've found a few Zeppelin LPs at a local store for around $20 each

[ThememanXX]

No good stores in Scranton, that's for sure.

[MaLaKaS]

There is an app I yes on IOS called Vinyl District. It's a great resource for tracking down record shops. Especially when you travel somewhere.

[ThememanXX]

Annnnd just found Led Zeppelin IV for $10 from a highly rated seller. Nice.

[drummerkrf]

Nice. I also have IV coming. Figured it had to be the first one. Such an iconic record.

[drummerkrf]

I've also noticed that Stevie Ray Vaughan is not cheap.

Which isn't a surprise, but is when you consider the fact that he isn't in the R&R Hall of Fame.

[ThememanXX]

Damn, Simon and Garfunkel's concert in Central Park on vinyl is phenomenal. Great buy.

[drummerkrf]

Hmmm. I've got their Bridge Over Troubled Water classic. And I'm a HUGE Paul Simon fan.... might need to check that out...

[ThememanXX]

Yeah, I've gotta get "Graceland" soon.

[drummerkrf]

Yeah, that's one I spent full price on at the local record store for the 180g 25th Anniversary pressing.

[ThememanXX]

Good starter turntable? Thinking of buying this, but upgrading the stylus.

[ThememanXX]

That's the one I bought for xmas....works like a charm.

Also thinking of buying this to keep the records in instead of crates: [Only registered users can see links.]
