Advice for those new to the #vinylcommunity (lessons I've learned over the past fifty years)

*First and foremost...do whatever makes you happy. There are plenty of grumpy gatekeepers out there. Ignore them all and follow your bliss.

Final #Toronto shop stop: #SonicBoom in #ChinaTown. Love this place. Stuff upstairs for my wife to browse while I puttered downstairs. Everything clearly marked AND I found something on my ISO list! A mint green #Pink record (go figure). Tomorrow: Niagara! 🇨🇦

Another example: some stores have Green Day in rock, and others in punk. Some use Discogs alphabetizing and others use last name. It's all different from store to store. Part of the charm, but takes time to acclimate.

Jeff Likes Vinyl @jefflikesvinyl.bsky.social · Jul 14

Sure. For example, at the store I went to today I was looking for an Alanis record. It wasn't in the Pop Rock section under either A or M. It wasn't in the Canadian artists section. It was in a completely different section in the back of the store.

I LOVED Montreal. People were very friendly, the shopping was excellent, the style/fashion made people-watching a joy, and everywhere had air conditioning. 😂 I'd go back there in a minute.

Hit up the first of two record stores in #Toronto today: #KOPS (near #Chinatown). Still nothing from my ISO/want list.

The variance in how different stores catalog/display records fascinates me. It always takes me a while to get my bearings.

That's awesome!

Yes! And Kops.

The list of records I'm currently interested in purchasing. Discogs doesn't let me share mine, but that's where I keep track of what I'm looking for.

Hit up #Aux33Tours in #Montreal in a wonderful little shopping district. Nice store, but 0/26 for my want list. However, there is a neighboring bodega with ketchup chips and Coffee Crisp, so today turned out just fine.

Tomorrow we're on to #Toronto! 🇨🇦

Today's Canadian 🇨🇦 record store: #Indigo, which is a lot like Barnes & Noble. Considered the 180g James Taylor.

This tiny display has to hold me over until tomorrow's visit to #Aux33.

You know it's legit when they sell Crosley! 😉

𝐅𝐞𝐞𝐝𝐛𝐚𝐜𝐤:
DLB was originally titled “Arrival” until the band found out that ABBA got there first. It was also one of the first commercially produced CDs, but issues with the record label ended with a three-year marketplace delay (and a long eight years until their next album release).

@noodlearm.bsky.social got me thinking...what four debut records are on my personal Mt. Rushmore of greatest ever?

Put together my list. What four would you include?

I'm 100% out on all picture discs forever. I was excited about Marillion reissuing "Misplaced Childhood," but then saw this and decided against it.

Fluance. They have really nice turntables - both with and without preamps - at a variety of price points.
