Harry Privates posted:I'm in the same boat as you, but a friend bought it and I was looking at it last night. Really nice packaging like a hardcover book with the 2 Lps inside each cover and pages about the album between them. I'm pretty sure it has bonus songs including 5 on the second disc. That's worth the price alone.

Bliggers- posted:Why did you even buy this in the first place then? Just put it on ebay and make triple your money back or whatever. Seriously- I'm so glad I never got into the whole Third Man collecting deal. And I really like Jack White. Everything I've seen about that scene and the people who move money in it just strikes me as toxic. For a guy who openly bitches about how people resell Third Man releases at outrageous markups and rails against the "collector scum" side of the vinyl scene in general, White does a really good job of fomenting that behavior in people. Take the balloon debacle from a few months ago: Releasing a bunch of flexis with exclusive tracks via balloon seems like a neat gimmick- but he doesn't really have the right to get angry when a tangle of them wind up in some dude's yard and he makes a bundle selling them off at four figures on eBay. What did he think was gonna happen?

I have no problem with what Jack White does with Third Man. He seems to want to just have fun with the format. It's just people who take it way too seriously. I don't have any limited Third Man vinyl and am fine with that. Every single release he puts out is available in unlimited black which is kept in print. So if all you want is the music then nothing is stopping you.

Let those other dicks waste all their money paying three digits for an album I can walk into a store and buy for 15-20 bucks. If all the material was only made available though these whacky gimmick releases it would be lame.

Just received my Philip Glass - Reworks LP and the second record is warped.  I don't think its bad enough to warrant returning and it doesn't seem to affect the sound, but its pretty visibly noticeable.

But I honestly don't see anything wrong with making a purchase, deciding you're not satisfied with it, and selling it. I mean, you can price it at what you paid + shipping if it makes you feel better, though I wouldn't be surprised if the speculators you don't like have searches set up to buy up underpriced copies. Ultimately I don't think there's any nobility in hoarding albums you don't like, it just keeps them from people who do like them.

It's not like you bought it intending to flip it. People who buy records for no other reason than to flip them are the worst. Edit: looks like het just said basically the same thing

The only Third Man releases I ever flip are the parts of the vault packages I don't want. Otherwise I love the label due to things never going out of print. That should be a rule.

Jeff Wiiver posted:Yeah I bought it a few weeks ago. Good sound quality and setlist. Worth it for the music, but if you're into packaging and aesthetics it's a pretty lame release. Just comes in a sleeve, no artwork (are all live at third man records like this?). When I bought it it was $15, I don't regret buying it, but the price seems steep for a rather barebones release. I live in Nashville so the local stores carry the TMR stuff and the store I like has it for $13. I really like their Good Bad Not Evil album so thought I might try it. You're right though, the packing is really boring.

I think part of the reason they do this is so they can release them quicker (although sometimes that's not the case). At any rate I think their live series and awesome and as far as I know it's a thing no one else does. I know people like to trash Third Man, but honestly for everything bad you can say about them, there's plenty else that's good.

Jeff Wiiver posted:Oh don't get me wrong, I love what Jack is doing with Third Man. I personally don't give a poo poo about the packaging really, but I know some people are very finicky about that sort of stuff. The concept of recording concerts live to tape is really cool. I got to see Black Lips open for the Raconteurs a while back and they put on a really fun show (even though they cleaned their act up for that show, and didn't do their normal shenanigans on stage like kissing each other and whipping their dicks out) that's pretty faithfully represented in this LP. I saw the Raconteurs on that tour and I was being too cool for school so I didn't bother watching the Black Lips. I heard some of their stuff since then and I regret it. I think I can get behind any band where the dudes make out with each other and expose themselves. edit: By the way, didn't you say you're from the Boston area? If you are then we were at the same show (which was a really good one). That's a great venue.

Jeff Wiiver posted:Rhode Island, but yeah I was at the Bank of America Pavilion show and it was a pretty good show. I also just saw his solo show at Agganis Arena, and I was bummed that we got there too late to have time to scope out the merch. I would've loved to look like a weirdo at a concert by carrying around multiple vinyl. I was there too. I picked up the tour edition singles and it was a total pain in the rear end holding onto them the whole show (I was on the GA floor directly in front of the stage).

Seems to be quite a few RI/MA vinyl goons here  So I got my Pioneer PL-112D in the mail yesterday and it wasn't properly packaged like I feared. The platter flew out but luckily the dust cover didn't crack and the tonearm is in good shape. The only casualty is the needle, which ended up getting bent out of shape and eventually broke when I tried to bend it back. Can anyone recommend a decent stylus for $30-$50? I know there's a bunch of great replacements in the $70+ range but I can't go that high just yet considering I paid $26 for the TT.

You do mean the Third Man Records retail store at the headquarters location, right? Why would you buy TMR products from anywhere else? I would absolutely love to go to Third Man and empty my bank account. Maybe they will send that truck to Canada sometime.

Quoting myself as just placed an order for the reissue of this. kranky.net posted:PRE-ORDERS! we are making the following items available for pre-order, starting with the reissue of Stars of the Lid's first kranky release on the 2LP format. krank015 The Ballasted Orchestra has been unavailable on vinyl for about a decade now, and it has been newly remastered and artwork updated. this has a release date of 01.07.13 and we start shipping orders on the 2nd of january. Since I moved abroad I had been able to resist getting a new player, but I couldn't resist this and now am just waiting for my preamp so I am all set up again. Then it's onto liaising with family members to bring it all my collection over from England. No regrets.

It's a 3d printed record! Granted, the fidelity is the equivalent of an 11kbps mp3, but it still represents at least part of the future of the vinyl format. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Anaau7lh9iU
