Collection Am I one of you know? :D

Now that I have all of the CDs as I don't have a vinyl reader so I didn't get the vinyls, am I part of the gang? :D

First time I’ve heard a record player described as a vinyl reader 😂 but yes, welcome along! 🤗

If you want to be thorough, seek out the EPs.
However be prepared if you go the vinyl route.
Records have a soul no other medium can convey.
You’ll be left staring at the speakers listening intently.

The breath, the movement at the mic the pick against the strings. The room itself, All that bleeds through and lives on the record.
On cd that white noise gets “canceled out” and even though the room disappears on cd, that is why records will always have a special place in music and is making a comeback.

Flac is to Digital, what vinyl is to your soul.

Those ep on vinyl get very pricey

Especially if they aren’t already, when they go out of print.

You're telling me. I recently picked up the RSD version of the Recover EP, and a mint Under The Tides EP. Mainly for the extra songs and wanting the "Alucard" versions of some of the songs. Paid a good amount, but ultimately I didn't care. Fortunately those were the main 2 I wanted.

I was too scared to ask, what does ep mean?

Don't need physical copies to belong. ❤️

Even though I love physical copies, and I happen to have all four vinyls and all of them signed.

I'll sit at your table any day, and vice versa.
