I bought the Waxahatchee album last year through them and I remember thinking that Don Giovanni would release something like this. Just the name makes me think of a older gentleman with a well kept beard who named his label after himself and puts out only soul-gratifying music with occasional personal friends also featured.

and this is how it went:
I'm going to buy that record.

That is amazing.

Vvv aw I just glanced at the picture and that YouTube vid and didn't notice the label. The 8000 copies thing has happened before. See that Phantom Menace release. Some labels don't want to stay in business long, I guess vvv

Wait, what's going on in this thread? I thought it was joke, but people are taking it seriously that a small punk label is going to press 8000 copies of a new age comp from the 90's? :psyduck:

drat, it just keeps going up. The lowest price is for a sealed copy and then there are others that have been played "a few times" for even more. Very tempted to make some money off internet idiots.

Me too, by pressing a bootleg.

If I had a copy I'd be selling the poo poo out of it, it's impossible to know if a FOTM release like that will maintain much value. You could get a bunch of certified classics for that money.

I've heard it's better to have the counterweight closer to the fulcrum. If you have a cart that has a low tracking force (which you probably should) then really a lighter headshell would be better, but at the end of the day I think as long as you can get it sorted it doesn't make a lot of difference. I use Technics headshells that I think are all aluminum but are still fairly light, one actually has an additional weight you can add onto it if you are a DJ or something and using a DJ cart, I guess.

Thanks for the tip. It's a Technics SL-220. The pitch has gone a bit wobbly, but that's another problem.
I'll have to have a closer look at the cart. It's on the old side, but was hardly used before I took ownership.

Pure Moods is probably the least of our worries when it comes to RSD '14. Personally I think Record Store Day is a joke. At least here, anyway. You get in line two hours before the store opens only to have the record-flipper assholes in front of you buy five copies of everything so that there's nothing good left when you get to the front. And good loving luck trying to go to more than one shop and find anything decent. You have to send friends to the other stores, thus defeating any "social" aspect to the day. I don't know why stores don't institute some kind of limit to the number of copies you can buy. Maybe some do, but not in Nashville. Music city, my rear end...

I have been lucky to have never fallen prey to record flippers. I got all the big title stuff that sells for crazy dollars like that orange color In Relationship of Command through Hot Topic and the past few Flaming Lips RSD releases. You just gotta live in the cool places in this world, like Seattle.

Yeah. I'm going to stick my copy on eBay I think. I really like the record but for that money I could be paying bills and buying even more records.

Also I only bothered with RSD once. Hipster bait. My favourite store doesn't even bother doing RSD releases because the guy who owns it likes to sell his stuff at decent prices.

I just ask the people at the store to put aside whatever I want then show up when I feel like it.

Me too, although I am friends with the owner

I think the only thing I wanted last year was the Drive soundtrack (I know) and it didn't even come out until later due to manufacturing problems. I saw a ton of RSD releases unopened way marked up at the record show in the fall.

Which is extra terrible because for that price you could actually get something nice like an ATLP 120 or Pro-ject Debut. Although I think anyone willing to spend that much on a turntable is going to be better informed that to buy that piece of junk.
