Maynard Ferguson - M.F. Horn Two Vinyl Album

This is one of my first posts to show the real extent of my collection and musical tastes.
I love metal. I love rock. I love just about everything. Except rap (I can listen to old school) and country. Sorry.
As a musician myself, I love listening big band and jazz music, and nobody does it like [...]

Ripping MP3’s From Vinyl Records? Copying Your Own Collection?

I have seen a number of articles and posts about whether or not it is legal or ethical to rip an album or CD that you already own to MP3. There are at least two schools of thought on this.

Vinyl Albums For Sale. Musicstack Has Rare Vinyl Records.

I’ve been around the ‘net for a while. I’ve seen a lot of sites out there that have CD’s and a few records, but when you are looking for something rare and not so popular, they don’t have it. Musicstack is different. I have been on this site a few times and have found everything [...]

You can find this and more Blues Brothers at Musicstack.

Ye, if you look closely, you’ll see that the pianist is [...]

Album and Album Cover Display Frames

A few weeks ago I posted about a great way to display your vinyl record collection. A little while ago I was sent another similar display from my brother. This vinyl record display doesn’t have the tilt out feature to get access to the LP, but is much cheaper. It is only about $24 compared [...]

U2 - The Joshua Tree 20th Anniversary Remastered, Reissued Vinyl Record

I have this album. Well, the original at least. It has been played a lot. A whole lot. So you can imagine that the sound quality has been degraded over the years. I’d love to have this new one by U2. I thought that I should talk about The Joshua Tree since it will be [...]

Vinyl Record Snack Tray and Coasters

This is great, a snack tray made out of a vintage vinyl record. It is goodfor chips, candy or any other kind of party goodies. I saw this at Elsewares for just $26. They also have vinyl record coasters.

They say that they carry different genres of music, but the only choices available were rock [...]
