I don't know if it's at all locations or what, but if anyone in Toronto reads this thread the HMV at Yonge & Dundas has a pretty good 2 for $25 deal on. Got some Blur remasters, two Megadeth albums, Black Flag and Springsteen's Seeger Sessions.

Not where I regularly buy vinyl but I can't pass up a good deal.

Sweet deal! Now you should flip it and maximize its utility.

I got my copy in the mail today. I have to commend the guy who packed it- it might be the most overprotected piece of vinyl I've ever received.

In a similar vein, I just got this comically oversized package in the mail:

I've been on the hunt for a couple classic Punk and Ska releases for awhile now and I'm proud to be able to post three new additions!

The Specials - S/T ('79)

Picked this up for a song down at the local record shop. So stoked to finally have it.

Dead Kennedys - Too Drunk To gently caress 12" (UK Cherry Red, '81)

I've basically been hunting this down for the total rager of a B-side. Also one of my favorite runout etchings ever: (A) What a sucker you must be... (B) If you bought this record twice. Sorry for the weird photo. I was eating dinner and didn't want to wait to post!

Dead Kennedys - Holiday in Cambodia 12" (UK Cherry Red, '80)

This came with its other Cherry Red counterpart. Nothing special or interesting here just HiC and Police Truck (Great track!). Thrilled to take it on top of the others.

Drinking beer and digging through 45s in the comfort of my home is def worth it. Besides, it's old stock from a defunct jukebox place around here and was keerazy cheap so the odds of finding regional 45s is pretty good. I don't really care about getting over or anything. My goal is to find regional/unknown local stuff and that means dirty hands since nobody's gonna pull and sell it by itself.
Amen to that. I swore off grabbing lot collections a while ago but I miss having a huge pile of mystery in my house. Not like a thrift store won't take the dreck. Have a blast with that

I have a bunch of splatter vinyl that's pretty colorful, but I'm not a huge fan of splatter. The best looking colored vinyl I have has to be The Saddest Landscape - After the lights on Pink/black pinwheel and Wife - Pipe Candy on half clear half bubblegum pinks. I've gone on record on this very thread about loving pink vinyl.





Sorry about the horrible picture quality. All I have is an iphone 3 and lovely lighting in my apartment. My pic REALLY doesn't do Pipe Candy justice.


I have the Drive soundtrack on hot pink already, so the mondo release just looks lame to me. Glad I decided to get the import because I'm not a fan of Tyler Stout and the jacket for Drive is not exception. My guess is there's going to be TONS of copies of Drive from mondo and anyone who tries to flip it and doesn't get the pink variant is going to be disappointed. Why else would it take them a year to release it? Right?

Right?

I knew I'd buy one of these if I ever saw it go on sale. There are no entries for it on popsike, never seen a listing for it on eBay. I got it off Discogs (where there was previously no history), so pleased.

If it makes you feel any better, paying over the odds for an LP is infinitely better than selling it short. Or not buying it and then seeing what someone else thinks it's worth:

(That was offered quite openly for a much lower price to myself and others before ending up in that guys hands. I'm talking at least 1800 lower. Incidentally, check his for sales every so often if you're interested in massively OOP records, most are overpriced but some go cheap).

Yeah, I paid $75 for it, didn't even need to think twice. There was no way I was going to miss it, my Jakob collection is complete for now (their self titled 1999 CD release is even more impossible to find):



So excited for the pressings of their first two albums on vinyl later this year along with their new album.

Yeah, I definitely agree with this. The only other record I've bought without considering the price was Angus & Julia Stone's Down The Way for $80 and they've since shot up to $300+. Sometimes impulse buys are worth it in the long run, no way in hell I'd pay more than what I did for it.

Thanks for the link, that is unfortunate that you missed out (but drat, $500+ is way too much for a record I think).

The most I've spent on a record was 60 bones. I kind of felt like an idiot for dropping so much cash but it is pretty rare. I had a rerelease of the record as well that I bought a day earlier for 20. I never saw an original on discogs and my buddy who has worked at record stores for like a decade had never seen a copy either. The Max Block kicks rear end and you should all listen to them by the way!

Hey I live in Dunedin, NZ so all the talk about Jakob got me thinking.
If there is any NZ bands that have fans on here ,I can scour the local stores/gigs for any specific releases people are looking for.
I know I've seen several Jakob releases around town over the years so if I can help a Goon out I'd be glad to.

Currently on the local Ebay equivalent there are a couple of the label compilation Lp's containing Jakob tracks (for the completionists) for around $20

If you are talking about Coalescence and Effectuation, I have considered them before. If you happen to find a Graveface pressing of Solace, a copy of Erfo, or the self titled EP (which was released as a CD) for fairly cheap I'd be willing to buy it off you (the self titled CD I would consider paying a lot more for). I imagine postage to Australia can't be too bad right?

I also dig Kerretta but I think it'd probably just be easier for me to order their albums from Midium if I ever decide I need them.
