wow dude, the only LP I own is the limited white version of Ulver's Shadows of the Sun, because it was in the special package and I wanted the limited grey t-shirt (and signed photograph)!
I don't even have a record player but I bought it anyway, hehe. doubt it'll sound better than the cd, though.
. Ohhhh I wanted to buy that version of Ulver's CD, it cost about $110 at The Omega, I remember clearly. I really wanted it, I love items that come with wooden boxes. I also want one of Agalloch's CD that is like that, it comes with bone fragments and stuff
.
i'm too chaotic, i say you....
i'm able to put two or three cds into the same jewelcase sometimes....and then i find empy cases and start to shout up and down the house "where the fuck is myyyyyy cdddddd???????" i'm idiot, i do chaos and hope that someone resolves it......i care of my stuff even if it can seem the contrary, it's just that i have my own method
i will not take all the care that an lp needs... so it's better i don't have any....
i don't have a lp recorder too...so....
and what i like of cds is that you can bring them with you everywhere, you can listen in the car, without any particular care, just put them in your bag....
You should say "I tell you" instead of "I say you"
.
Three CDs... in one case? I hope not original ones, that would be... very stupid (so not to use nasty Italian words hehe). I've done that but with copy CDs and they've gotten really scratched (but still, somehow worked), but
never with original ones. It's even better to just leave them on the floor without any cover IMO.
Bought Cynic - Focus (again :S).
About the LP's...I like them but they require too much care (more than the digis), so I don't collect them. I have neither time for that, nor space to keep them properly. I have TONS of tapes (more than 1000 I think) kept on a very old and freakin big vault, collecting dust, spiders and stuff like that, but it's great to take one of them (like a very old-rare one) and remember all the 'history' it has, like my first time I heard the bandl, how many years I have it and so.
I collect CD's better cause they are more funtional and easier to take care of (and the sound quality is great, but I agree with Defiance about the LP's sound...I like more the LP's sound than the CD). Anyway, there are a lot of rare cd's to collect (specially those limited hand numbered digis on black metal - if the band used blood instead ink to write the number, the best XDDD), but I don't think I have something sooo rare...maybe the first press of Burzum's s/t, via DSP is the most rare cd I have.
¡Bien, Cynic es excelente!
Apropos, I just bought:
Cynic: Traced in Air (ltd. box 1000 copies, crazy expandable shirt
).
Awesome album, too short, but really amazing.
Oh yeah LPs require a lot of care, the LP itself is quite resistant to weather conditions and other stuff, it's the cardboard case that really gets damaged. And yes, their sound quality is better, you just need a good stereo system and well... a turn-table of course
. But yeah, there're definitely very rare CDs too.
Here are some pics of my LP, DVDs and digis collection:

I'm actually planning of kidnapping all of my dad's LPs, he's got some really cool Bruce Springsteen ones (5 LP box
). The problem is that it'd take a lot of space of my furniture, so I wouldn't have place for my DVDs and boxes. And that cannot be, especially with the latter. I can somehow move the DVDs... but I'll have to work on that.
The last CD I bought was 'Operation: Mindcrime' by Queensryche. I used to dislike that album, years ago, but now I really enjoy it. It gets stuck in my head like nothing else.
Before that, it was some albums by Black Sabbath, Yngwie Malmsteen, Gorgoroth, Exodus, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Esoteric... a lot of stuff. I've been on a 'classic' (70s and 80s) metal binge lately, so Maiden and Sabbath have been getting a lot of listens, with Priest being markedly less, but still there. And lots of Queensryche. (And some good ol' Blind Guardian, too.)
Ah yes good ol' Blind Guardian, every stage is great IMO
. I actually liked Queensryche's release from the start
, quite good. I haven't listened to it in a long time though.
, just became too much. And alas, i had to give up the cds for a while. Just until I get on top of things 
).
