My first vinyl post here
Actually wanted to post often but had not time due to certain circumstances in life -but now a small contribution to this awesome community by @panwinyl - hope that post is fine and following the community rules.
The Hive Vinyl Freaks Decalogue
Posts must be about vinyl — stories, finds, or obsessions — vinyl comes first, always. This is not a group about music in general, but about music on vinyl. You can post about the records you dream of owning — and tell us why. Every post must include a photo of a vinyl, a collector with vinyl, or shelves full of vinyl. Posts should celebrate the wider vinyl culture, from crate-digging to pressing plant visits. Photos from events are welcome, as long as vinyl makes an appearance in the frame. Be kind — no insults, no drama. We’re here for grooves, not grudges. No one is “better” because they own more or pricier records — snobbery stays outside. Posts about audio gear are welcome, but only if it’s for playing vinyl records. Remember: we’re here to share the love for the world’s most beautiful music format — the vinyl record.
My vinyl history
First of all: I am old! But my first music I bought was not vinyl - it was a music cassette (Super Trouper by Abba, 1980!). Reason I had a cassette player and my dad did not want me to use the traditional "Plattenspieler" for vinyl in our cellar.
However - after buying nearly every Foreigner production on Cassette I did a job during school to earn money and after several months I bought myself a HiFi rack including all, hence I could now not only listen in shops to vinyl but buy vinyl and bought all I could financially afford by Foreiger also as vinyl (later did the same with CD etc....).
My milestone of a vinyl was a red one by Yazoo
This vinyl I wanted to buy as I loved the 45incher by Yazoo (Vince Clark / Alison Moyet) from 1982. This music style (in line with Kraftwerk sounds) also brought me to my love for Techno later.
I bought the vinyl - came home and wanted to play it. Open the frame i was stunned to see - this vinyl is not the usual black one, but a red vinyl - damn was excited - still probably my most interesting vinyl investment.
Here the music from te original :-)

Since then bought a lot vinyl
In my cellar I have a decent compilation of vinyl mainly from Rock though. When I started my Techno DJ career (amatrur though - only played small local clubs) I added more (buying and renting) of vinyl to DJ with.
Was a great time and only the feeling to touch these vinyl pieces makes me happy. That was all way before CD was invented, there was no internat, no smartphone, 3 TV programm and not blockchain.
