I've never bought a vinyl record before. I don't even own a record player lol. But this is more for collector's purposes and to support the band. Came with a digital download anyway and was only like $5 more than a CD which I will never use... soooo... bleep bloop pics
Nice. Its pretty awesome what they can do with vinyl designs these days. I've seen some recent releases with like 5 different design versions and stuff. Never bought any vinyl myself, but perhaps I'll have to get some of my favorite rares and make a cool framed thingy sometime.
Vinyl players are cheap enough these days for a basic one. They do have their own sound and its worth picking one up if you intend to collect a few special releases.
Just buy a vinyl player. They're super fun and if you keep your discs in good shape and the dust out they sound quite good. Peeps dig them too at classy/chill parties. It just makes the album seem better when you go through the effort to put the disc in and you listen all the way through without stop.
