They sort themselves out usually. Vinyl production has been really lovely the last 6 or so months on big label stuff.

Amazon is great. Every time I've gotten that message the item ended up coming on time or at the most a few days late. I'm sure if you call them and complain they will make it worth your while. Never had a bad customer service experience with them.

Sorry I don't have a camera outside of my webcam but I am very excited to own this!! I went out before work and bought A Dozen Dead Roses by No Trend, but unfortunately I left it in the break room so I can't get miserable before I get miserable for 8+ hours WASDF posted:Anyone's copy of mbv come yet?

Nope not yet, I'm just south in Portland so we'll probably get them at the same time The Doo Do Chasers fucked around with this message at 20:50 on Mar 7, 2013 |

I am all for reissue campaigns drastically dropping the value of OOP albums. I'd like to own some nice original Tool and Sigur Ros records but I am not paying $200 for what is essentially a $20 LP.

Laser Cow posted:I got the same for Bowie's new album, is this Amazon speak for "oops you're never getting it"? Or do they sometimes sort themselves out? Burning Shed (my favourite online store) posted yesterday that there'd be a two week delay on the vinyl version so it's not Amazon's fault.

I bought the first pressing of Stars of the Lid's The Ballasted Orchestra for 80 dollars after figuring I'd never see another copy of it online and available for a long time. and it came out remastered for 20 bucks two months later. Which I also bought.

So I ordered a shirt, a poster and *shel's Sea of the Dying Dhow pressing from their website at the end of January/beginning of February. On February 5th, they refunded me $9.00 and after emailing them and waiting for a five days for a response, Mehdi told me that the poster had gone out of stock. This was on February 23, and I can't remember if *shels is based in the UK or in California, but should I be worried? I just emailed him to check the status of it  .If I remember right, I had to wait a while to get my Plains of a Purple Buffalo LP, so I reckon that they're taking orders, then having it pressed and shipped.

I wouldn't expect Mehdi to be the type to screw people over, he's always been super cool with me and all my orders arrived safely (though I don't remember the waiting times). I'm pretty sure Sea Of The Dying Dhow was pressed in the same quantity as Plains of the Purple Buffalo (300 copies), they're probably waiting for the poster to be restocked before they send it all out?

The more I think about it the more I seem to remember it taking a while for it to process, and with how awesome Mehdi is, I'm not too worried about it. I was just making sure I wasn't the only one who's had long shipping times  .

I love you mr. kranky

My local record store has a large selection of dollar records and I've been able to find VG+ copies of records by bands like U2, The Police and "dadrock" stuff for a low price. Are these records so widely available that they're worthless or have I just been lucky with my pulls? I'm actually listening to a copy of "The Sunset Tree" that I got for a dollar and it's great - no pops or skips and the vinyl looks almost new.

The Sunset Tree like, The Mountain Goats? For a dollar? gently caress you. edit: vvvvv Hahah, okay. I mean, for a buck, *any* record in good shape is a good find. I'm sure you're not getting *OMGAMAZING* prices, but if you like them and they're a couple bucks, enjoy. lament.cfg fucked around with this message at 04:34 on Mar 8, 2013 |

If you enjoy the music then they are good value, yes. On the other hand, even a free record with music you don't like isn't good value.

What's your 'here's why I listen to vinyl' album of choice? The one that (to you) perfectly exemplifies and shows off your system in ways you're most proud? I think at the moment anyway mine would be Eric Clapton Unplugged. There's so much going on and so much 'breathing room' with crisp highs and tight but not boomy bass, works great.

My copy of the My Bloody Valentine showed up today, and though they definitely could have boxed it up in a smaller mailer, the record arrived in one piece. Minor dings to the top and bottom seams, but nothing to get histrionic about. The artwork is different than that high-res jpg that came with the download. It's subtle, but you can't see as much clarity to the images that make up the collage.

The first one that really blew my mind was A Perfect Circle's Mer De Noms. I'd been listening to that album for more than a decade, and the first time I listened to the vinyl, I heard things I've never heard before that made me appreciate it even more. Another one that I can't get enough of, and almost can't listen to without the vinyl anymore is Close To The Edge by Yes. There's so much depth and layering of sound on that album, and it really pops on vinyl. So good, and I'm really happy to have an original pressing of it that's still in great condition.
