Recently I was at a garage sale and I purchased a few Carpenters albums on vinyl. I bought LOVELINES which is still sealed. I also got A KIND OF HUSH and AN OLD FASHIONED CHRISTMAS. I was so happy to find these. I only paid $1.00 each.
Has anybody else bought Carpenters on vinyl lately?

I haven't found any Carpenters on vinyl lately. I don't even own a turntable anymore. I know people say vinyl sounds warmer, but I've become so accustomed to CD's that I don't miss vinyl anymore. It does make me yearn to try vinyl again and compare!

The nice thing about vinyl is that we don't need bifocals to read the info on the liners! Yeh really... I love CD's so much also that I don't miss vinyl at all. But I still have my library of vinyl. I just can't give it up, but one of these days I will, it's just way too much when I move.

I moved several times through the 90's and ended up throwing a lot of old vinyl disks away. Of course, I could never part with the Carpenters or a few other artists. I think I am down to about 70 versus 300+. I prefer the sound of the CD but I definitely like the nice big picture and the easy to read liner notes and lyrics of the old lp's. The only place that I have seen to buy old LP's is at a chain store here in the Dallas, TX area called Half Price Books. This store will take old books, CD's, and LP's and resell them. I usually don't look for the Carpenters since I still have all of their LP's as well as CD's.

hi Moe...when I visited my sister who lives in Burleson this summer we went on down the highway and went to a half price bookstore..which I had heard her tell about. At the time, it was coming down such a rain, that I didn't get to look much since I was worried about getting on back to her house safely. In any case, I did see they had many vinyl records and everything else. I saw 2 Beatles albums both costs about 40 dollars though, but I got a kick seeing those. In Lubbock Tx. there's an old record, tape and cd place, and it's been around close to 25 yrs or more. It's Ralph's Records. When I lived in Lubb. now and then I'd go there. Back when I got obsessed with David Cassidy ...I went in search of an album of his and found it, but his own sound on that ...was of course so radically different (but good for him) from Partridge F. that I couldn't stand it. oh well, I still have most of my old records and now and then dig one out. If I do get rid of them, it'll be hard...and I of course won't give away my C's...A Kind of Hush, Singles 1969-1974...and Horizon, and Close to You. The album covers and songs and words and etc. were great, but cd' s much better sound and easier to manage.

???and after all, my very first album of any kind was Close to You. That was special because my bro. and sister had always played their own on our big RCA Hi-fi...and then my sister gave me a very few 45's she didn't won't after she got married...my favorite..."Purple People Eater"... ;D

I was on e-bay last night and found quite a few Carpenter items in vinyl. It just depends on when you check out what they're offering. I saw a Close To You LP that it said was in the original shrink wrap! Anyway, I figured someone would like to know.
