Found some exciting surf/instro stuff recently: Takeshi Terauchi - 70s comp I can't read but I'm excited to finally have some eleki in my collection Insect Surfers - East West 10" Jon & The Nightriders - Live at Hollywood's Famous Whisky A Go Go Man or Astroman - inside the head of John Peel 2x7" Does anybody read Japanese? Because some of these aren't translated.  Also not my picture but I finally received my These Estates 7" in the mail and I'm very excited.

Space human being posted:Does anybody read Japanese? Because some of these aren't translated. The name of the comp is Itoshi no Elina (Lovely Elina). The untranslated song titles are all traditional Japanese pieces whose names don't easily translate into English. A5 - Tsugaru Jongara Bushi This title doesn't really translate into English. Maybe it would be something like "Jongara Song of Tsugaru." "Bushi" means melody and is commonly used in naming Japanese folk songs. Tsugaru is a place in Japan, as well as a style of shamisen music. I think "Jongara" is an onomatopoeia describing the rhythm of the song. A6 - Echigo Jishi (Echigo Lion Dance) A7 - Kanjincho (The Subscription List) A8 - Oedo Tokyobashi This one doesn't translate either because it is the name of a bridge. Side A, and track 1 of side B are Takeshi Terauchi and Bunnys. The rest of side B is Takeshi Terauchi and Blue Jeans. Cool find by the way, bet it's good. I have one Bunnys LP, but it's more focussed on pop oriented vocal material than the surfier stuff.

Thank you so much! It's a really great comp but I hate not having song titles. Now I just wish I could find some Yuzo Kayama stuff on vinyl.

alg posted:whoa Yes. I spoke to a person who works with Modular Records earlier this year and he told me he could 100% guarantee there wouldn't be a new Avalanches album this year, but they were supposedly doing a big reissue campaign. It's my favorite record of all time, and even though I already paid $70 for a copy, I'll probably buy the reissue too.

So based upon this image posted on reddit http://i.imgur.com/QpggH.jpg and this site http://www.hhv.de/index.php?rid=269310&cid=1122211693&action=changeLanguage&lang=en I think that The Roots' most recent album, Undun, will be getting a vinyl treatment this month. I'm excited. EDIT: From looking at discogs it appears that there has been two European releases, one unofficial, and one official that came out this month.

Probably one of the best thrift store finds I have had in at least 2 years. $2.50 each and all in like new condition with no warping or scratches. I live in a rural/small town in Alabama so to see these hidden behind piles and piles of terrible Gospel/Christmas albums made me pretty drat excited.

I'm not going to knock Remain in Light, but I like Fear of Music better. Either way that's an awesome thrift store find. Two great albums for five bucks is always a good thing. I'm always jealous of the thrift store finds people post here. I never come across anything good. edit: I did recently find a two disc Leadbelly LP, but of course one disc was missing and the one that was left was completely trashed. It made me sad.

I'm back at my parents' house visiting for a week. I stopped through Boston for a few days and hit up some various record and thrift stores. Today I also hit the two Goodwill stores in the area. Spoils (and explanations) ahoy: I now have the first 6 major REM releases on vinyl (along with a few singles). I also ran across a copy of Automatic for the People in Boston, but they wanted $30 for it and I wasn't having any of that. I'm also really pleased about my practically mint $4 copy of Easter. gently caress the $16 reissue.  Some more Talking Heads stuff and some poetry for you fancy pretentious types.  Opera! Classical! Three motherfucking versions of Rhapsody in Blue! (I reaaally like Gershwin, and I spent 2 bucks on all three).  Soundtracks!  Theeaaater!  That Sound of Music LP is of the 1959 Broadway run, not the film. The bottom of the sleeve has a blurb that promises, "You can purchase this record with no fear of its becoming obsolete in the future." Ruh-roh.  I don't know anything about the tango record (aside that it's from the mid-'50s) but that copy of Stokowski conducting the AAYO in Ravel's Bolero is a gorgeous shellac 78 from ~1940-41. Stokowski started the orchestra in 1940 and it was disbanded when the US entered World War II. I can't play this record, but since it only cost a dollar at Goodwill, I'm content to just ogle it.   More THEEAAATER!! These come with script booklets. As if a theater major like moi would need them, Ho ho!  Some "lesser" Costello (bullshit, Imperial Bedroom is better than Armed Forces) and stuff.  That Supremes compilation is from 1967.  A circa-1963 memorial compilation of JFK speeches (and Kennedy-Nixon debate clips), an album of German/US military noises from 1962, some evangelizing, and PDQ Bach because....why not.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T0_Vtb2nZMM  Learn a new language!  A closeup of some shady dealings. Look at that skeevy Italian. What's he planning? I bet he has an erection. Smut(!)   And the crown jewel....  The one on top is from 1959 and the one below is the 1961 reprint after the chipmunks got really popular.  The 1959 print is red(gasp!) Also, I picked up a pair of these bad boys:  ....for all of $16 (as in 8 bucks each). They're massive (see wallet, glasses, keys, and assorted bobs for reference) and in great shape aside from some scuffs and light water damage on one cabinet. They sound really good (for the price. Bass is a bit weak considering their size, but my apartment is small enough where that shouldn't matter. They'll hold me over until I buy some Mordaunt Shorts). trilobite terror fucked around with this message at 07:29 on Mar 15, 2012 |

I've been searching for it, but the only places I found it are overseas and I don't know if I trust it to make it here in one piece. *Edit* Is this only available from the UK Amazon? Trying to find a place where it can be pre-ordered. Also, really jealous of the guy with all of The Caretaker releases. I'm not the biggest fan, but I would really love to get Bliss (except it's going for ~$75 on discogs right now). JohnnyWarbucks fucked around with this message at 13:40 on Mar 15, 2012 |

Electric Bugaloo posted:I stopped through Boston for a few days and hit up some various record and thrift stores. This reminds me of hitting a goodwill recently. About 20 boxes of records were out so I beelined. Guy was picking through and a mom was sitting in a chair making weird faces at a Chicago record. I dig through about five boxes and its all showtunes. The mom asks the guy if the Chicago album she's been looking at for TWENTY MINUTES is any good. He says "I hate Chicago." She says its for her son. He says "He will probably hate it." I like this guy, a lot. I ask him what he's been digging and he pulls out random crap so I figure its hosed and my friend comes over, asking what I've found. I said "oh its a lot of crappy showtunes, disney records and dadrock." We continue to sit around shooting the poo poo and then he abruptly gets up and leaves, exclaiming "well I've found my stash for the month!" He proudly shows me Dr. Zhivago, random terrible showtunes, language records and a Serge Gainsbourg record. Okay, the Serge record is cool.

Just got another special something in my quest to have every Coil record: Astral Disaster (next to a four leaf clover my girlfriend found today)  I can't get a shot that doesn't make it look opaque and black, it's on translucent gray and looks quite gorgeous. And another exciting something: Foetus - Sink

Numero Group has some really cool releases planned for RSD:quote:We just saw a recent list of exclusive Record Store Day product being issued on 4/21/2012, and all of the sudden our Solid Bronze comp we started feeling like it was sending a message that Numero was just half-assing this whole thing. To remedy the situation we had a five hour power meeting late last night and came up with a list of 14 titles we’re going to rush into production to fill the obvious customer demand. Look for the following in stores on Record Store Day, and don’t forget to thank Michael Kurtz for helping us raise the bar.

Mister Kingdom posted:How often do you guys run across older sealed LPs? They are pretty scarce around here, especially for the era you are looking for. Even if I saw one I would probably not get it as it would probably be priced quite expensive given the item's worth, and I don't think I could bring myself to open it, and unless I already had a copy, this defeats the purpose of owning it.

The other problem with old sealed LPs is that if you open it and it's defective, there's gently caress all you can do about it. At least with used LPs you can check the condition and with new stuff you can return defective items. Plus, you'll likely be paying a premium for it. This is actually why a lot of collectors stay away from vintage sealed LPs.

This is actually why a lot of collectors stay away from vintage sealed LPs. Yeah, especially the shrinkwrap tends to tighten over time and can warp the record and mess up the corners of the jacket. It feels pretty great to buy a sealed copy of an old record and open it up for the first time, though.
