Mildly Interesting

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Comment below if you want to talk about music, as I make sure to dig into music of the past.

In the 1980's my parents found religion and destroyed all our "secular" albums, including many 33s and hard to find 45s.

That was 40 years ago and I'm still mad and disgusted by it to this day.

It was over the top and one of the major factors that drives me away from religion.

Dang that sucks. What kind of music did you listen to that got destroyed?

[–] JoeClu 1 points 2 years ago

Mostly 60s and 70s rock and pop. :(

What are your favorites from your collection ?

[–] ryuundo 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

My Rolling Stones records, My Ramones records, and my records by the Fall.

You can't go wrong there 😉

[–] ryuundo 2 points 2 years ago

Absolutely. Punk rock is fuel.

[–] SangriaFerret 1 points 2 years ago

I own all three of those records as well.

Awesome collection! What's your favorite album that you have on vinyl? Do you have anything super rare?

[–] ryuundo 3 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Favorite album on vinyl is probably either Modest Mouse' Lonesome Crowded West or the Clash London Calling.

I have accumulated a few rarities over the years and I'll show some below:

My Copy of Orange Juice's Falling and Laughing with the flexi and postcard (only 934 copies made, 200 with the postcard)

My copy of the Pink Fairies Never Neverland with the PVC outer sleeve:

and my original 1976 copy of the Ramones debut album:

I have to say I’m insanely jealous of you having a copy of Lonesome Crowded West! That’s a dream score for me!

From your comments on here, sounds like you have a phenomenal collection!

[–] ryuundo 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It's a reissue, but I'd love to have an original 1997 copy of the album on Up records.

[–] pensivepangolin 1 points 2 years ago

Ahhhh, I got you. As a novice collector with almost only reissues, I’d be happy just for a reissue of that album; I’m not even sure how many times I’ve played it end to end!

Lonesome crowded West is my favorite in my collection, too

Arranged by genre, alphabetically, chronologically, or autobiographically?

Alphabetically. I'm not John Cusack.
