I've recently purchased a vinyl record player and the experience has been great.

Most of my collection is in cd format and now I own between 30 and 40 vinyls.

My wishlist is very vague at the moment though, it's just to explore Tangerine Dream and Edgar Froese solo albums further when I've absorbed those I currently have and also depends on the price they're available at - I don't want to waste a load of money being completionist.

Ha. Sure. In Europe. Try living in Argentina with our devaluated currency and all the restrictions we are subjected to in terms of purchasing imported goods

The only albums on the list I could have easily found all this time here in BA are "The White Album", "Living In The Material World", Depeche Mode's "Violator" and Peter Gabriel's "Up".

I do own records from 37 out of the 50 artists on the list. But not those in particular.

My wishlist would be a Univers Zero live dvd. For everything else I pretty much already own it. The stuff I don't have is stuff I haven't discovered yet and stuff that hasn't been released yet. For example I had no idea that Hedvig Mollestad Trio would become must own until I finally discovered them recently. The journey of exploration continues.

Anglagard - Viljans Oga

After a five years search/never saw that one below $100...finally found a copy (new) for 40 bucks last week.

Apparently the Japanese release of Billy Joel's 52nd Street beat it into the shops so which album you could have played over and over to all your friends and relatives on your brand new CD player would have depended on where you lived .

I have most of what I want, and have been really lucky in my attempts to track down what are usually pretty off the beaten track albums.

sh*t, do you know how many albums I have wishlisted on RYM? I won't say; it's embarrassing. But let's just say it's too much to even think about listing here.
