The Holy Grail of Heartbreak Hits
Finding a Whitney Houston "Where Do Broken Hearts Go" 45 vinyl is like searching for the Holy Grail...but with less knights and more record store dust. It's a rare gem, a collector's dream, and a potential heart-mender (or breaker, depending on how much you end up paying).

The Vinyl Vortex: A Collector's Odyssey
The world of vinyl collecting is a strange and wonderful place. You'll encounter characters more eccentric than your ex, and prices that will make your jaw drop. But fear not, brave vinyl adventurer! There's hope.
- Online Marketplaces: Your first stop should be online marketplaces like eBay, Discogs, and Etsy. Just be prepared to get outbid by people who seem to have way too much disposable income.
- Record Stores: If you prefer a more hands-on approach, hit up your local record stores. You might stumble upon a hidden treasure, or at least find some cool alternative vinyl to soothe your soul.
- Vinyl Fairs and Conventions: For the ultimate vinyl hunting experience, attend vinyl fairs and conventions. It's like a treasure hunt, but with less sweat and more records.
Condition is Key
When you finally find your precious Whitney Houston 45, make sure to inspect it carefully. A scratch or a pop can ruin the magic. Look for terms like "mint condition," "near mint," or "excellent" to ensure you're getting a top-notch record.
Pro tip: Invest in a good record cleaning kit. Your future self will thank you.
Play It Loud and Proud
Once you've acquired your holy grail, it's time to enjoy it! Set up your turntable, drop the needle, and let Whitney's soulful voice fill the room. Close your eyes and let the music transport you to a happier time. Or, you know, cry. It's okay.
How To... Vinyl Edition
- How to clean a vinyl record: Use a carbon fiber brush and a record cleaning fluid. Gently brush the record from the center to the edge.
- How to store vinyl records: Store your records vertically in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
- How to set up a turntable: Make sure your turntable is level, the cartridge is aligned correctly, and the counterweight is set properly.
