As some of you may know, I love music. I have a shelf of over 250 CDs right behind me, and some that won't even fit in that anymore. Yesterday I went out to a nearby town to visit an independent record store I frequent when I'm in town. About 2 1/2 months ago was a thing called Record Store Day, which is a celebration of record stores everywhere. And they usually have exclusive releases (both CD and Vinyl) come out on those days.

Well, while I was looking through CDs, I noticed they still had plenty of things from Record Store Day still out so for laughs and giggles, I decided to walk over there to check things out. I knew of one release I was still interested in, a vinyl record. In recent months, a friend of mine and I had a discussion about music and how he collects vinyl. Due to that, my interest in vinyl had risen a bit. So I walked over to the shelf and sitting right there in plain view, was the very record I was interested in.

Only 2,500 of these were made, and each were numbered. I got record number 640, which I think is pretty good.

Now for the question, I'm thinking about starting to buy some vinyl records and I'm wondering if anyone on Giant Bomb can help me to decide on a record player that is at least decent, and won't cost me an arm and a leg.
