What was the last LP you bought before buying CDs?

Can’t remember.

I don’t remember. It was so long ago.

The intermediate between LPs and CDs for me was cassettes. I do remember the first CD I bought was Dark Side of the Moon somewhere in the early 90’s

In the mid-80s a music store in New York was selling vinyl LPs for $5.00 each, just to get rid of them. So I bought ten Beatles LPs for fifty bucks.

( I of course still have them….)

I bought one (used) on ebay just a year or two ago. A jazz album that was never released on CD.

All About Eve (1988).

I thought I was buying, what then sounded like a throwback to the era of British folk music and Bohemian—but now I classify it as an ahead-of-its-time “Coffee House” type soundtrack. You could play the selections today at Starbucks and. at worst, people would think it was a new and obscure group they never heard of—but something current.

It has been too long. I still have three crates of LP’s in my library but my turntable cratered a few years back and I haven’t replaced it yet.

I am thinking of getting one of those that let you convert it to a format compatible with my computer. Any one had any experience with doing this and is it worthwhile?

Well, I went from LP’s to tapes then to CDs. The last LP I remember buying is The Smiths Meat is Murder.

Probably Violator Depeche Mode

I want to say it was a re-issued set of Beatles albums. Either those, or it was the 3rd and final Beatles Anthology album. This was long after CD’s were the norm though.

Never.

OMG. Had to have been in the 70’s. Maybe Houses of the Holy, by Led Zep?
The last cassette I bought was Summer Vacation by Aerosmith in the 90’s. I bought it because it had the song Rag Doll on it.

A read along book. Indiana Jones.

In case anyone needs this info—the first time a child (age 7) ever asked me what a RECORD was (and never heard of one or seen one) was in 1993.

You could still buy music tapes until around 2005 but they were virtually extinct a year later.

The last NEW MOVIE I ever found on a VHS tape was Rob Zombie’s Halloween (2007).

I’m 26 and my parents kept a record player in the house throughout my childhood, so I’ve always bought records, even new releases. But I still buy cds from time to time.

My husband bought me a fake antique radio for my birthday one. It looks like an antique radio, but it’s a radio and a cd player and it has a turn table too.

I know what the object is, but what does LP stand for anyway?

@josie Long Playing

Was there ever an SP (Short Playing)?

I think those were called 45’s

I had a collection of 200 cassettes. I believe the last LP I bought before I began the collection was General Public – All The Rage.

My media purchases have not been sequential by media type. I think I last bought some music on cassette about 1998. I bought some LPs, and a record player, around 2012. I don’t think I bought any CDs since then, but I’m not sure. The last music I bought was in electronic format.

The last vinyl I bought was a 45 of A.F.I’s Fly in the Ointment. I didn’t even have a record player at the time and I hate A.F.I but my buddy played drums on one of the songs.

And the singer tried to get all up on my GF and bricks were thrown at a van.

L.P. meant Long Play (vinyl record)—typically 20–25 minutes per side. They spun at 33–⅓ rp, (Revolutions per minute). These were the record albums,

45’s (45 revolutions per minute) spun faster, were smaller in diameter, had a larger hole in the middle—and had one song per side. These were “singles” but had a “B” side. I guess they made them as early as 1950

There were also 78s—78 RPM that is. They spun fastest. A little wider in diameter than a 45. They also, of course, contained only one song per side. They became extinct around 1960. I have a few Disney records from the very late 1950s thst sre 78’s. These records had been around since the early 1900s. The original ones were glass—not vinyl—and required a larger stylus (needle) but were still black

I think it was Fleetwood Mac’s Rumours. Then came cassettes followed by CDs. No idea what my last cassette was.

8 tracks anyone??

Ha. Tefifon is where it is at.

@Dutchess_III I bought a music 8-track once, in the 1990s.

We had them in the 70’s. They never included a pack of matches, though.

@Dutchess_III
You should get one of these
