In these days, analog record, or vinyl, has been popular among music fan in Japan. The interest feature is that big fans of vinyl often seek for Original press so eagerly. The purpose of this paper is to consider the reason of their enthusiasm for Original press and examine its cases. As an example, the case of Beatles is examined and the idea that strong favoritism, that is somewhat resemble to religiousness, toward Original press is under the charisma of the musician is presented. At last, ethical matters are discussed from the view point of Buddhism. The excessive enthusiasm toward Original record or collecting records sometimes lead people to unethical mental condition. It is not necessarily to say wrong to collect records but fans should know the risk and set the limit for their desire.
