Each to their own at the end of the day
I have mixed memories about vinyl; sure there was a certain thrill to hunting down the rare stuff and the joy of finding it, but I don't miss then having to part with huge wads of cash like the £60 on an Ed Lincoln LP, (***I HAVE JUST DOWNLOADED FOR FREE BECAUSE A CERTAIN B3TARD IS SO COOL***) the £75 on a Stone Alliance LP for one track (Sweetie Pie) off the top of my head, and christ knows how much more I paid on Trio Mocoto LPs. And I don't miss the space a huge LP collection takes in your flat or home! I had to plan a living room around mine once, which was when I started to realize it was all getting a little ridiculous
These days it simply seems more convenient to spend five minutes surfing the net for the obscure stuff, if you know where to go; it's generally out there somewhere, if you can't buy it on a CD, and obviously easier to store

It got nicked outside the HQ club in Camden Lock Yard with the cream of my LP collection
because a stupid bint helping me to move stuff to a cab left it on the staircase
that, Sir, is when I finally gave up on vinyl :(

Honestly
I'm not into rarities. It's when I stumble over something I think is cool that I pick it up. I understand why one would collect rare LP's, but my finances at the moment aren't impressive *cough - student*, so I'll leave it at fleamarkets

fleamarkets are cool
This took twenty years to track down, fruitlessly on vinyl; finally on the internet for free; given it's not on CD; the artist's loss, I am not prepared to wait another twenty years growing old for it to be released
hence why I love the internet
