I picked up a record player this weekend and am looking to begin my collection. I'm looking for 60s and 70s rock, pop rock, folk, R & B.

Neil Young, Clapton, The Doors, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, The Beatles, Cat Stevens, etc. If its collecting dust and you want to move it let me know and I'll throw some cash your way

Not my area of expertise but I do know The Honeymoon Bungalow on Government has a lot of old records. I couldn't tell you much about the quality or selection though.

Atomic Pop (on Gov. by Radio Bar) has a decent collection. Urban Outfitters sells records, but not that many. Check out Atomic Pop though.

I went to Aladdin's Lamp Antiques two or so years ago and they had a few boxes as well as a "buy/sell" type message board posted above the vinyl. Might be worth calling to see what they have before making the trip over there, but at the same time it's in the midcity area on Government near Honeymoon Bungalow and Time Warp Boutique, which may also both have vinyl as well.

And idk if The Compact Disc Store is still open or if they'd have vinyl, but they may be worth a phone call as well.

Another option is just taking a Saturday to drive to a couple thrift stories just to see what they have.

I'm not from anywhere near Baton Rouge, but flea markets are a good place to begin building a collection. A lot of the time, the people in the booths have no idea what they are selling. I can't count how many classic albums I've picked up for a buck. Many of them in pretty good condition. That's how I got my collection started with a bang.

eBay buy in lots by artist.

Atomic vinyl

Honeymoon bungalow but they are both expensive vs buying in lots from eBay

Thrift stores have a ton of gospel and Christmas music..

There are a ton of places In Nola. Best is prob mushroom

Beatles/Hendrix you are paying a shite ton for if you go to a record store.... So be patient on that


Check out discogs.com for approx value....

And don't overpay for tdsotm

Goodwill occasionally has some gems, but you have to sift through the complete shite that surrounds it
