Also, some other recent additions: Gorillaz - Gorillaz  I kind of assume that they don't need an introduction, but I have to say this is my favorite of their albums. Songs like Sound Check are what I love most about Gorillaz, and they kinda left that style behind them. Still great though. And I also got the Donnie Darko OST and The Living Dead at Manchester Morgue OST from the fantastic Death Waltz Records. Sorry about the sideways picture, Imgur's rotation function isn't working.  They're both on coloured vinyl (blue and green, respectively) and limited to 200 copies. Great stuff.

Back to Grizzly Bear Shields LP for a moment, does anyone here have a non-gold copy and can talk about the surface noise on it? The 1st LP of Shields is fine, it is the 2nd one that is really really noisy. Nothing makes me more sad than listening to new vinyl only to find that it ALREADY has noise on it, or worse, a bad mastering (thankfully that isn't the case with Shields but it is for lots of new releases).

Some pops but I was expecting it to sound worse. The issue of having to turn a page after two songs and pulling it off and pushing it onto the platter will probably prevent me from listening to it again but the thing is cool nonetheless. It also fits with my 7"s and that's probably where it will stay. I'll buy the regular LP soon. Wanted to give my local shop some business.

Yeah, it is a literally a collector's item for me, not something to actually play. That's what the beautiful white 12" vinyl is for.

DFA are really the only band that I'm willing to spend that much on records for (and probably will have to shell out for that much again for the pink reissue of the album). It's only a black copy, and not a clear one; only 200 were pressed of the clear version, 800 of the black version. If the opportunity was to present itself for a clear version though, I'd probably fork out for it again.

You can't escape the indie lovefest I'm afraid, Jane Doe is one of my hardcore (du u wnt m0r) favourite records and remains one of the only albums he can put on that I won't mope at. Converge are loving sick. I'm sure everyone's spotted the crazy expensive beatles box set being released on vinyl by now, what I'm wondering is if anyone is pondering actually plunging in. I can't justify it, at least not at the moment in price or in the quality, but it equals out to £15 a record.. which isn't awful.. Considering most box sets will equal about £150 quid for 5 records and a poster. I'm wondering if im the only wee oval office being mildly tempted by the glossiness of it all.

Converge are loving sick. You know, I was tempted too. But then I thought to myself: these records are going to be available, so I won't need to pay 400 bucks right now. And the book is probably the same exact stuff that's in the CD booklets. And then next year they are doing a mono set, and simply put, I'm never going to put on "A Hard Day's Night" in stereo when I have the mono available. So I preordered the White Album and Abby Road, and I'm thinking about getting Sgt. Peppers since my mom has a mono version already.

I don't get the point of blowing the money on these when they're just sourced from the same digital masters that were used for the CDs? It's not like these albums are super hard to find or anything. Anyways, I've heard the Beatles enough already for a lifetime. I'd rather buy some great new music or reissues of older hard to find albums.

I doubt I'd ever be able to find a copy locally however (being in Australia kind of sucks balls for this sorta stuff; it's only after their reunion at Coachella and appearance at a festival over here that the CD has been stocked as more than "special order" at retail stores) and I'd come to terms when I decided to get the entire available discography on vinyl that I'd pay a fair amount for it.

I'm looking at the site for the Eraserhead soundtrack, and it still says preorder for the second pressing, which began shipping on August 27. Does anyone know if they're just being lazy about modifying their site to reflect that it's well past August 27, or is the second pressing still not shipping? Or is it even still available or sold out?

I would've loved to grab those singles but my friends and I didn't get there until like 10 minutes before Jack came out. Traffic on the Mass Turnpike was brutal. Yeah, that's the one. Those singles have the same content as the ones you can buy anywhere, they just have special covers. I just figured "why not?" because they were only six bucks each.

I went to a yard sale in the country yesterday. When I asked if they had any records this guy with a huge beard led me into a musty old house with a collection of about a thousand records that he inherited, and no one, including himself, had looked through. I only scanned it for a couple minutes and got these for $2 each. Nothing too rare, but they all rule, especially the Luke the Drifter one. There was also a Victrola and a bunch of cast iron cookware. Fuckin' love yard sales around here.

Noob question: what is a half speed master record, and do you need a special player to play it (my player only does 33 and 45 rpm)? If I'm right in my assumption, a 12 inch half speed probably plays at around 15 rpm, meaning I probably can't play it? Someone give me the scoop!

If I'm right in my assumption, a 12 inch half speed probably plays at around 15 rpm, meaning I probably can't play it? Someone give me the scoop! A half-speed mastered record is a bit of audiophile junk. Basically, when they mastered the record, they played everything at half speed - the idea was that it would present a more accurate cutting, capturing all of the detail, especially on the high end. Of course, it doesn't always turn out to be true. All it means was that they ran the master at half-speed when they made the master for the vinyl record, but it still plays at normal speed. So you don't need to worry. You can play it. Edit: Also, since you are a noob, I'll let you in on a few other things. Weight really doesn't matter. There's a theory that 180 gram records sound better or are more resistant to damages, but provided that you take care of your records, the increased weight doesn't mean much. Most people say you should probably avoid 200 gram records since they tend to have a lot of pressing issues, since the increased weight, at that level, actually adds issues into pressing it up. Analog and digital don't mean too much these days. There's a lot of poo poo going on with the Beatles repressings since they are from a digital source, but they are actually from the original transfers to digital, so they are high-resolution, and at that point, the difference is really in a name. The only thing I will say is that all analog pressings do tend to be a better quality since it implies that they took a lot of care in making the record, but you can't be sure. Record storage: store those motherfuckers upright. Don't worry if they have a little slant to them, but you don't want them lying flat either. And finally, records aren't super-fragile. I've dropped one or two onto my driveway and they play just fine. Yeah, take care of them, treat them nicely, and they'll last you a lifetime. I just don't recommend dropping them on my driveway.

My copy of The 2nd Law came today, and I was like, "gently caress. That's right." Then I listened to it again and came to the conclusion that it's not meant to be taken seriously. It's Muse just loving around, writing intentionally stupid songs. In that regard, I think it's quite enjoyable, but still stupid. Even if I'm wrong, I prefer to think of it this way, because it justifies me owning it.
