frankblack Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 Appetite was released on CD, tape, and Vinyl. I bought it around release on vinyl with the original cover, not the one shown in the OP. I also got Lies and Metallica's ...And Justice For All on vinyl at the time. However I started out with cassettes and didn't own my own record player until later and by then it had a CD Player so switched over to CDs. CDs are still my preference because I can transfer directly to FLAC files and put on my computer or phone to play back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pablo Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 Can't remember exactly. It would have been something like The Stone Roses, Humanoid Stakker or I remember getting a brilliant compilation album called North : sound of the underground. That was my first copy of Voodoo Ray. I left my records at my parents house and they didn't survive a house move. Gutted. Must have moved to CDs around that time as I think by the time of Screamadelica (91?) I had it on CD. Although just recently bought the vinyl reissue for my teenage daughter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tazio Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 Not a clue as it was a long time ago. Appetite For Destruction would have been one of the last ones though. I've still got it with the original sleeve and it still gets played. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superjack Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 Probably master of puppets or appetite for destruction for me. I mostly bought tapes towards the late 80’s as I knew I was about to join the RAF and be moving around a lot. Switched to CDs in 91 or 92.

frankblack Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 Most vinyl bought never gets opened never mind played nowadays. Interesting article here on the record company forgetting the CD sales when slavering over the vinyl sales of the new Abba album, which they sell at more than twice the price. 🤔 https://superdeluxeedition.com/feature/saturday-deluxe-13-november-2021/ 148,471 copies sold on CD 29,891 copies sold on vinyl 4,205 copies sold on cassette Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that was the point of the OP. I dabbled briefly when I had a Discman, but quickly binned that when MiniDiscs came along, which promptly got binned when MP3s arrived. Napster, then SoulSeek were wonderful repositories back in the day, eventually relented and got a Spotify account. Continued to buy vinyl throughout.

Rupert Pupkin Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 Was probably some obscure dance track back in the 90’s .. I bought that much it’s difficult to pinpoint my last purchase😂.. Come to think of it, I did buy a mint copy of the original 1978 vinyl “Jeff Wayne’s Musical Version of The War of The Worlds” at a record fair in Torquay in about 2002.. A steal at £16..

GinRummy Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 There used to be a second hand record shop on Morrison street. The last couple of albums I bought on vinyl were out of there.

Ulysses Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 I'm not absolutely sure, because it was more than 40 years ago, but I'm pretty sure it was either of these: I stopped buying vinyl around the time I bought both of those, so they're as good candidates as any. I bought tapes for a few years before switching to CDs. But it's almost 30 years since I last bought a tape, and nearly 10 since I last bought a CD.

Ribble Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 I still buy vinyl, in fact I probably buy more now than when it was the only option. Majority of the vinyl I buy is older blues stuff for playing in the house but when a decent new album comes out i'll listen first on apple music then decide whether it's an album i'll listen to in the car or at home before either buying the CD for the car of vinyl for home or sometimes both!
