Subject: Vinyl Albums in the 90's

Written By: whistledog on 10/30/05 at 1:40 am

In the 90's, Vinyl Albums were quite hard to get, but I'm sure some of you have some vinyl albums that were made in the 90's.  What are some of them?

Apart from a few 12" singles, I actually only have 2 albums of the 90's on vinyl:

A Decade in Rock (1990)
Love and Kisses - Dannii Minogue (1991)

Pet Shop Boys - Disco2 (I paid $20 for this disappointment - stupid continuous mix album  >:( )
The Cure - Mixed Up
Human Resource - Dominating The World (LP x 2)
Reel 2 Real feat. The Mad Stuntman - Move It! (LP x 2)
Missy "Misdemeanor" Elliott - Supa Dupa Fly (LP x 2)
Technotronic - Trip On This! The Remixes

Plus various comps, and I could be here all day with the 12" singles and Remix Service issues I have from the 90's on vinyl.

Guns N Roses always do their albums on Vinyl. They usually release 100,000 copies worldwide on Vinyl. If Chinese Democracy is ever released, it will also be on vinyl.

Most of what you can get on CD is also released on vinyl, mostly because real DJs still prefer vinyl I think.

That's actually correct, music albums on vinyl actually never stopped being made. You could always get any albums on vinyl, they just became harder to find by the mid to late 90s because most music stores around that time didn't stock vinyl so you had to look harder. Mostly trendy, independent & alternative music stores still stocked vinyl in the the mid to late 90s, but chain stores usually didn't. I see a lot more vinyl again nowadays even in big chain music stores. This pleases me. There are still a few chain music stores here & there that i've gone into that still don't stock vinyl anymore, i think they need to pull their finger out & get their act together. Hell i still remember you could walk into any K-mart store in 1990 & there was still a vinyl section right next to cassettes & CDs. Anyone from Australia & that still remembers Brashes music stores? They had a massive selection of vinyl in the 90/91. You could get anything you wanted on vinyl from Brashes at that time & they were a big chain store & this was still during the early 90s.

We had a single all-vinyl store here in Copenhagen until 1998.

I dont whistledog and its because I dont think there are ANY analogue sourced records out of the 90s and I only want analog records!! (They sound the best)

I do know that Micheal Boltons 1991 album "TIME LOVE AND TENDERNESS" is indeed AAA but im not sure of any others.... I have a 45 from 1990 Stevie B - 'Because I love you' which sounds OK but generally I do not have any 90s records.....

Many '90s records (especially 45 RPM ones and even many '80s ones) are more prone to skipping due to the increased compression of these records thanks to the digital recording processed that were used. I do have over 1,000 45's from that decade just so I can play some '90s songs in a jukebox to appeal to some younger listeners than the '50s-'80s that dominate my library, but it was pretty much cassette or CD that decade, with the CD of course eventually dominating. Although some were seeing 2005 as when some vinyl made a comeback, I didn't really see this trend become mainstream until several years later.

That's why vinyl is best for '50s-'70s records, with the '80s on the borderline (I'd prefer CDs or digital for 1986+)
