Quoted from Madmax541:What's the best way to clean 45's?
New to collecting recommendations appreciated.
Kits available? What works?
Also looking at recommendations on places to purchase 45's
Cheers
I have a VPI machine. It's time consuming, but cleans those dirty 45s really well.
Quoted from electricsquirrel:Danny Gatton was an amazing guitarist.
After years of battling depression, he chose to end his life.
We all know how it went down.
Please show some respect.

Who is showing disrespect?
Quoted from Rascal_H:Never heard of them but their hairstyles have me interested.
Good shit! Hair metal with a funky groove
Quoted from ssbodyman:Back in 1993 my wife asked for one thing from the DJ we hired for our wedding reception. She wanted Steelheart's I'll never let you go for our first dance. He fucked up and didn't get it so my best man had to drive to my house and get the cd, too bad streaming wasn't a thing back then.
When I got back into records I knew I'd have to find it on vinyl but didn't realize how hard it would be to track down. Today it finally is in my collection, can't wait to listen to it with her.
No lie. It's extremely difficult to find a lot of popular music from 91-96 on vinyl.
Quoted from snyper2099:No lie. It's extremely difficult to find a lot of popular music from 91-96 on vinyl.
That's the middle aged man's music **dead zone** .
Music not hip enough to be reissued on vinyl, yet not old enough to have been originally on vinyl.
I am new to owning a jukebox that plays 45's its a Seeburg VL200.
I have some 45 record that when selected, continue to go round and round with needle on record but never actually play music.
Other records it plays fine.
These records are in great condition, if I pick up the needle and place it in a different location on record where music is it plays fine.
Is this an needle issue, alignment issue or something else?
Thanks for your help

Does it get stuck at the beginning or end of the 45?

I had all these albums in my vinyl collection when i was a kid and that's just the first ones I thought of.

Oh God I feel so old.... I don't think any of those band(s) members were born yet when I was a kid... 
They have that Jane's Addition on the big $$$$ wall at my local record store, I want it but refuse to pay what they're asking.

Nice, I have a pretty hefty Jane's Addition record collection too. You've got some good stuff there (Shocking EP, Been Caught Steeling 12", Stop ", Nothings Shocking with the weird vinyl sleeve ....) I regret never buying that Porno for Pyros on Wax. I think I bought that on tape. Great album. Their second one maybe even better.
Beck has another fairly deep section in my collection (mostly early stuff). So, I've been DJing forever and I recently pulled out my copy of Odelay (the one with the poster) only to remember that I used doubles of that and scratched with it (the marking stickers were still on it). Doh! It's like a $75 record now!

I just pulled the pic from google. We had a flood basement 2 houses back and I lost my vinyl and concert ticket stub collection, amongst other things. Hard not to think what some of the values would be. Had some live bootleg albums and I saw one in the record store for $200 recently.
I miss album covers the most I think. When I saw jane addiction's Ritual album I knew I had to find out what these guys were all about. Nothing shocking was even better. Maybe I just like boobies?
Beck's Odelay was very influential to me. A white guy with lots of funk and soul. I started to learn how to freestyle over 2 turntables and a microphone. Speaking of white guys with lots of rhythm, another classic 90s album.

Beastie Boys? That's another group where my collection runs deep (probably not in a healthy way):
(You can also see my Beck "Golden Feelings" cassette in the box at the beginning)
Quoted from waldo34:Is that an orginal? Very nice!
Yes I believe so. (:
Quoted from Jam_Burglar:I can hook my phone up to play beats and scratch wherever I want (church, funerals, barmitzvas, etc.)
Please post vids. (:
Quoted from Ronnie1114:New acquisition: Bose 901 speakers. Man Bose really made some weird shit back in the day.
Part of their direct/reflected design, with eight 5" speakers facing forward and one more facing backward. It required placement in front of a wall that would reflect the sound from the rear speaker to add dimension. A pair of 901s came with a module that boosted the bass frequencies to make up for the lack of bass response in the small diameter speakers despite the large number of them.
901's are nice speakers, but a little weak in the low end.
You'll need a pretty powerful amp to drive them.
And, as said earlier they have a special eq that you will need.
I have a pair of Series four, going on thirty years. I like them.

Quoted from vid1900:That's a classic, I hope you picked it up.

It was in one of my unsorted crates of 45s. Found Elvira in there as well.
Quoted from dirkdiggler:Found Elvira in there as well.
3rd Man Records has reissued the 45 picture disc of the 'other' Elvira theme too.
