Find Old Vinyl - Find Old Records
LP MEMORIES
FIND
THE OLD RECORDS YOU'VE LOST AND LOVE!
YOU CAN DO THIS TOO.
DREW'S STORY
 You're probably way ahead
of me. But, if you're not, this section could really bring happiness, light, and
tons of 'old' fun. So read on.
It's frustrating. When I was
in high school and college, I was a big folk music fan. But
that was 30 years ago. And frankly I've lost more of my records than I'd care
to admit.
Who were you're favorite
artists of the time? What records did you listen to? Any special memories
that you share with an old girl friend? Wife?

Anyway, if you're like me
I'll bet you've still got some old almost forgotten favorites that you'd love
to hear again. But how do you find them 30 years later? Well,
Read on.
Anyway, there were two artists
that I really loved that I don't think ever recorded folk music again. One was
a San Diego singer named Tim Morgan and the other was a South African named Sebastian
Temple. (He became quite famous later.)
But I couldn't find my albums
and used record stores were a bust as well.
OK
HERE'S THE GOOD PART. Then I searched
the Internet for used records and I found BOTH records in just one evening for

about $6 each. Wow. It's so easy, I don't know why I never thought of it before.
It had been over 15 years since
I'd heard them. Now I've recorded CDRs and MP3s and I can listen any time I
want.
And best of all with CDs,
they don't wear out. I can program them too, which I
couldn't do with the LPs. I've got them in
my car and I've made MP3 files that I travel with too. And because
they're CDs, there'll be no new scratches, ticks or hiss.
You can do it too. So who is
your favorite artist? Do you have all their records?
Here's how to find your own favorites.
Finding Vinyl on The Internet is Easy.
Just go to your favorite search
engine (I like Google Best) and enter the artist's name
in QUOTES "Sebastian Temple", then add the words AND LP
AND Price.
This combination should help
you locate the used records of your choice. Quickly, easily and cheaply too. Here's
why.
The artist's name of course
is necessary. By adding LP or 45, we limit the number of sites we get to sites
with or talking about LPs and 45s, and the word Price is a pretty good limiter
to sites selling LPs and 45s with your artist's name.
Actually "price"
is a good limiter whenever you're trying to find something you want to buy on
the Internet any time.
I guess the logic I'm trying
to share is that if you just type the artists name, you'll get every reference
to them on the Internet. By adding LP and Price, you'll get 'mostly' (yes it's
not 100%) sites selling what you want.
In some cases adding a track/song
name might be good, but they may or may not be listed with used records. If you
find too many hits, you can always add that. But, in all, it's really easy.
So, go find your old favorites.
It's amazing how many you can find. I've bought over 100 LPs including 4 by Tim
Morgan (I didn't even know they existed) and 3 by Sebastian Temple. So, I'm one
happy listener, and I'm sure that you will be too.
THE 'TELL LAURA I LOVE HER'
STORY
So a few months ago, we're
sitting at dinner. And for some reason I asked my son's fiancé (they were
married 2 weeks ago) if her parents had named her after Laura from the song "Tell
Laura I Love Her". I guess you already figured out that her name is Laura.

Anyway, she said she didn't
know because she had never heard the song (kids). My wife said no that they wouldn't
have because it was a really sad song.
I didn't remember that it
was sad, I just remembered that it had a really haunting refrain. Anyway I jumped
onto the Internet, found and bought the album. And here's
where it gets fun.
When I got the album, I listened
to the song and sure enough, it was just as sad as my wife said. And what's worse,
it was her lover (my son since he was marrying her) that got killed.
Well,
we couldn't have that. So, I copied it onto my hard disc and started
editing out the sad parts. It really wasn't hard. I made 3 versions, each one
a little sadder than the last.
Needless to say, the next
time we had dinner, I presented them with the CD and the original album for their
pleasure, education and maybe amazement.
Well, they thought it was
great (and that I was a little demented) and Laura shared it with her parents
who liked it too. I guess they didn't think I was too strange because they didn't
call off the wedding. :) So think how lucky you are not to have me as your in-law.
But
the moral of
the whole story is look what you can find
on the Internet and look how much fun you can have 'fixing' the old songs and
programing them and more. I'll look forward to hearing your stories soon now that
you've read my Find Old Vinyl Tutorial.
