How can I collect library music?

[Retronic]

Discogs and eBay are good starts if you’re buying LPs.

Thanks.

I'm interested in how newer members are getting into library music- share your tales.... :-)

For me, I always knew of library music I guess you could say, I just wasn't fully aware of it or how to obtain it. I knew there was this awesome music that I'd hear on commercials or videos, but I just couldn't buy in the local record store, and nobody behind the counter ever knew what I was trying to explain or ask about. For the most part, it was simply a quest that I never fully explored because availability was so limited at the time. Within the last few years though, I guess the itch happened again where I was almost entranced by this music I could never find. Fast forward and I'm glued to the set watching a series called Tim & Eric Awesome Show, and also Dr. Steve Brule, both of which are loaded heavily with library music. I then started watching YouTube videos with information on tracks used in the show which was quite overwhelming, but it was great to finally learn something about this mysterious music that has eluded me all these years. Those steps lead me here, as a complete novice, but still very much entranced.

I'm Back!! Great to see everyone again.


On another note - Finally managed to actually own an actual KPM 1000 series LP, after endless searching, and record shops going 'what an earth do you mean??'

Always had an eclectic taste in music, collected soundtracks and rarities over the years, got record collector book, and the murky depths of the back pages mentioning library music.
started on KPM, Chappell and others, found such a depth and contrast, drives the wife round the bend.
but then again I do like very extreme music too, grindcore, metal, jazz, chiptune and the like.
