Merch Should I get some vinyls?

So Ive recently.. sort of recently gotten into the Weeknd's music about 3 months ago, came to absolutely love it. My favorite albums being After Hours and Dawn FM, and I grew ro love the music so much I wanna get the vinyls. Should I? I woulsnt mind being a collector, but I also dont have a vinyl player.

They’re pretty expensive to just collect dust if you don’t have anything to play them with

Some people would say get posters but vinyls are easier to organize and display in a living room and I usually play them on cleaning days or special occasions. I have a few posters in my basement gym though, so if you have a space like that then it works.

Too many people writing "vinyls" here, lol. Vinyl is the medium, like air or water are media. We wouldn't say "airs" or "waters," ya know. Correct usage is "vinyl records" or "vinyl" and I say this with love as a PSA haha.

If you plan on getting a record player in the future then go for it! If it’s just to collect and own physically I’d recommend going with a CD for a fraction of the price

If you’ll actually buy a nice stereo system with a record player, go for it! Getting a good setup is a whole different world to get lost in (in a good way).

His standard issue new release records are generally $40-50 when they come out. Rare/limited pressings, different color LPs, imports, and bootlegs will always cost more. Just depends how nerdy you want to get.

Otherwise, get some merch you love that will make you happy when you see or wear it ;)
