I do. But the sound quality on picture discs is not up to par with the regular pressings. These things are more like 'keepsakes" of the film.
I do like it when the vinyl is a different color than black, e.g. Marnie is on red wax; reissue of Yellow Submarine is bright yellow, and Cinderfella is a rainbow splash, etc.

Quite a few years ago, I had approximately I decided to just throw them out my 2,000+ lps, and called my trash company to arrange pick up of them. I put them out at the curb, and late that evening, my oldest son came home for a visit from college. He absolutely freaked-out when he realized my albums we being thrown away. He loaded the lot of them into his car and took them back to school with him. I never knew what became of them, after that, nor did I care. There are only two albums I wish I had saved, because they were never released. One I actually found on Youtube, but the other...
2000+ LP records thrown out in the trash? Geez. No special attachment or memories of more than just a few of them John?
It looks as though you spent quite a bit of money throughout the years on that collection.
No. I completely lack the gene that places any special meaning on things. I wish I did, because then maybe I'd have at least some memorabilia of the years and years that I did theater. Not to mention the years and year I went to the theater. I have almost nothing. But certainly not with something like a record. The second CDs came out, I was glad to get rid of them.

i have colored vinyl too... i agree the sound suffers, but it's still a treat for the eyes!!!Barry's "The Deep" is such a beautiful shade of blue, "The Night of the Living Dead lp (varese) is green. Waxman's "Crime in the streets" is white vinyl (the only white i have) i have the 2 lp set of "The Nightmare Before Christmas" "The Color Purple" was pressed on purple wax, but i do not have a copy. I'm still looking for the Cinderfella "splash"

t i'm in berkeley (CA) and so both amoeba records are close, but they are phasing out vinyl, so it's back to the goodwill, garage sales and all the secondhand stores i know that have lps. i think i should consider moving to the l.a area since there are many more stores per square mile there.
Nice to see another Berkeley person here! Maybe you've seen me pawing through the pile of LP's (mostly Reader's Digest EZ listening and local promos) that Rasputin on Telegraph keeps tossing out onto the sidewalk. That's where I've gotten a fair number of interesting discoveries, including Carol Burnett singing pop and Andre Previn's trio covering the standards.
I do still buy LP's because some of my newer passions (like Jack Jones) haven't made it onto cd yet. They're a bargain, too!

If you already had a record and then the music was released on cd, did you still go out and buy the cd? (i'm not counting expanded scores, but thinking of a cd release that replicates the original lp release) Not just soundtracks, but any genre of music. i seem to buy cds that contain music i do not already have.
No, only if there's new cuts, or my LP copy is scratchy beyond endurance (like my Peter Gunns).

i never seem to find much in the rasputin "giveaeay" piles...you must beat me to them. but i'm probably the one elbowing you out of the way in the "easy listening" lp bins @ amoeba (or what's left of them)! that's the first place i head for when i walk in the door.
