Sammy The Seal Audiobook on Vinyl

Hey folks, I like to find and purchase old vinyl records that have absolutely no recording of their media anywhere online. Today, I ripped and uploaded a video of the first ever (as far as I'm aware) vinyl audiobook of Sammy The Seal, a pretty classic mid-century children's book. Never been on this sub before, so if this isn't the place for this, feel free to remove my post! I'll link the video to this post in case anyone is interested in hearing it themselves, you're likely to be the first people to hear it in decades. Sammy The Seal Audiobook on Vinyl

help

all my records are THIS dusty. I am almost running out of record cleaning solution bc of cleaning them this way EVERY TIME I PLAY THEM. I desperately need antistatic inner sleeves and outer sleeves but in Romania I have no good options + they are HELLA EXPENSIVE. I also have an antistatic brush that js makes it worse

Album after album just essential! Crucial!!

Reggae Got Soul — Toots & The Maytals

Always been a favourite track and album of mine. Toots & The Maytals were absolutely cooking around this time, knocking out album after album that was damn near unmissable — and somehow it still sounds just as vital today.

Toots is good for what ails you!! There’s something about that voice, that rhythm, that sheer warmth and life in the music. And it sounds even better when you're riding along at the crest of a wave.

Reggae got soul. Yes it does!!! 🙌

When was this released 70s? 80s?

Came across this baby and want to know if anyone who’s within the know, when this little puppy was released. No googling

Record value check?

These are a couple of my Fathers records which he left for me. Obviously not going to sell them, but just curious as to their values. The record in image two has faded signatures above each band member. Cheers!

Steps Ahead (debut album)

Just picked this up...used to have this in my collection. Really love the interplay of the musicians and I would listen to Michael Brecker doing the ABCs song. Sounds great and as fresh as ever.

Are these italian record valuable?

I found these records while cleaning and i don't know if they are rare or valuable since i'm not a collector.

They are 45RPM, mostly from the 50s-60s and all italian.

The records are well kept and almost perfect, while some covers have ruined a bit with time.

Could someone tell me if these are worth something or just some common music discs?

Thank you!

What albums sound best on vinyl?

We've all got that one album that just feels right on vinyl. Maybe it's the warmer sound, the artwork, or just the whole ritual of putting the record on!

Which albums do you think genuinely sound better on vinyl than they do on streaming or other formats?

Happy #vinylrecordday2026!

Without agonizing over it, I flipped one record from each partition in my collection. Some classic faves, current obsessions, random picks. What's in your collection??
