The Top 100 On Vinyl Challenge by 
Jimmy Dread 
This chart documents my quest to own all my Top 100 on vinyl. Chances of that happening are remote as at least one of them has yet to be pressed on wax, but for the time being here's a list of what I've currently got in order of 'acquisition'. If you want to play along, feel free to join the discussion here: http://www.besteveralbums.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=12023

ORIGINAL PRESS - Charity Shop
The first of my '100', bought many moons ago in a Charity Shop (or 'goodwill' if you're from the other side of the pond) for £1. [First added to this chart: 05/07/2015]

ORIGINAL PRESS - Car Boot Sale
My dear old Mum was chuffed to bits when I bought this at a Car Boot sale, most likely because she (like me) loved a bargain. Textured sleeve and everything, although the disc has seen better days it still gives me a warm, fuzzy feeling whenever I play it. [First added to this chart: 05/07/2015]

ORIGINAL PRESS - in store (Spinnadisc, Aldershot)
Picked this up in a record shop in Aldershot which has long since gone. My mate Richard (a fellow Aldershot Town fan, and longtime employee of Collectors Records in Guildford - more on them later) used to take the piss out of owner Keith, who would be seen walking around the pitch at home games treading in the divots. We were convinced he was trying to bury his VAT receipts. [First added to this chart: 05/07/2015]

From Steppenwolf666 02/12/2019 01:43
Good challenge for someone under 40. But as I am very ancient nearly all my records are on vinyl, and I hate all other formats with a passion. Funnily enough one of my mates lives in Aldershot and is an Aldershot Town fan!! Small world.
