Hello, who are you?

I figure we need a bit of an introduction stick page. So who are you? Where are you from? and when did you start to collect?

I figure I need to do this.

I'm Sharon and I'm from the middle of the UK. My first record would have been when I was 6, Michael Jackson's Thriller, 2nd hand from the library £1. Technically I didn't start collecting then, I started when I was about 15 which was when my taste in music shifted and I started to go see good bands rather than most of the crap in the charts. The collection exploded when I was about 18, I would buy some amazing records in charity shops.

Last couple of years my purchases have dipped but I have a pretty decent collection;

That was started years ago and have only remembered that I'd added my collection to a site so I have about 5 years worth of records to add and at the moment I'm only adding stuff from my memory which is pretty shoddy.

I'm Rachel. My first album was "Destroyer" by KISS, and I was 7 years old. I still can't believe my mother let me walk around singing "Do you love me", but then again, it was the 70's, and it was a different time.

I have roughly eight crates of vinyl waiting to be unpacked. I've been in my home since 2003, you'd think I'd have found a storage system by now. It mostly consists of 80's rock/alternative acts, and a whole lot of Duran Duran. (I make no apologies.)

I'm Philip. I am old enough have records. I remember when I was little I had a stand up record player shaped like a jukebox and my favorite records were and old single of Yellow Submarine, a Star Trek story (I still have these two) and a Muppet street one. I love that last one because before you would flip it over all the characters would be worried they would fall off when you did flip it.

Now my 20 year old daughter stole them all and listens to them all the time. She even hangs them on her wall.
