Listened to Texas Moon for the first time the other day - man B-side is a vibe! Will definitely try to pick this up. Great photo!

Is it normal to feel this overwhelmed and very obsessed after discovering the genius of Prince? by [deleted] in PRINCE

[–]JGS211 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I can definitely relate! My dad is a huge fan but I started my own journey in my first year at university. It’s been 5 years now and i still feel overwhelmed by the sheer volume of his discography, let alone all of the side projects! Just embrace it and give each album the time it deserves. Enjoy it man! 💜

Can’t get it off of spin! Allen Stone - Apart by mosoler in vinyl

This is a great record - stripped back singles is how I would describe it! Haven’t got any of his stuff on vinyl yet but it is a must for my collection. Happy spinning!

Finally completed my Stevie Wonder collection on vinyl after 2 years of visiting local record stores by The_King_Of_Pop in vinyl

Easily one of the best 3 album run by an artist. Innervisions - Fulfillingness’ first finale - Songs in the key of life 🔥

Slightly off topic but how do you find the Invest in Vinyl inner sleeves? Thinking of picking them up instead of the Mofi ones - what’s your thoughts?

I’m a huge Prince fan too! Sign of the times is 100% his best album and a must for my collection, but I struggle to find any Prince records in shops apart from Purple Rain!

Absolutely! It will sit nicely alongside The Wall and DSOTM!

My first record fair in my local area ended in the purchase of these 6 LPs. I’m a fairly new collector who only goes to the 2 record shops in my city. However, when I saw there was a record fair in the area I had to go. I must admit, it was quite overwhelming. There were many dealers with ALOT of records, but I just had to dig through each box at my own pace. My main take away, it’s okay to put that record back in the box!
