TheQat posted:If anyone else is flailing about looking for a place to get the new Melvins reissue/remasters, Melody Supreme is the only place claiming to have them in stock (that I can find): Are these hard to get? As in do I need to jump now if I want them? I've already got it all on vinyl but some of those were my favorites back then so I'm very tempted.

I just emailed the folks that pressed them and they say they plan to press again in 3+ months. The current pressing is rapidly selling out everywhere, though

I like it. Hasn't been a real stinker yet other than maybe the RL Burnside record which I haven't rushed to listen to again. And I guess I didn't need another copy of Madvillany but it's cool to have it on wax.

CPL593H posted:So is it albums you can only get through the club or just colored vinyl editions of poo poo you can buy anytime? The second one for the most part I think. They're limited exclusive editions, sometimes numbered, and if you care about it some of them sell on discogs for like twice what you pay for them. But like with that RL Burnside lp, I'm not sure if there's another easy way to get that on lp right now, but I think that's more the exception to the rule. They come with custom artwork and like the most recent one has a custom lyric sheet created by youth lagoon that's exclusive. But really I just like getting surprised with stuff on the mail once a month and getting music I might not pay attention to otherwise.

VMP's packaging is also quite cool and is a significant part of the experience for me. I've gotten two duplicates through them now but I still think it's worth it for the sheer experience of it all. Also, it's a lot of exclusive colored editions of already released stuff, but every 11-12 months or so there's a re-press of something you couldn't actively buy new anymore, so maybe that's an extra incentive?

Nah if you don't like the weird blend of him and more modern rock music and some sampling, it's understandable. Mr. Wizard is probably my favorite of his. The track where they sample him saying "that motherfucker stole my check" is worth a laugh though.

Anyone who subscribes to any record club that isn't the one run by Light In The Attic needs to have their head examined. EDIT: I mean subscribe to any service that makes you happy, but LITA beats all comers for obscurity, quality, and value.

My area of the state finally has an actual record store than isn't an FYE in a mall. It's an hour away. That said, so were both FYE's. The prog selection isn't very good, but prices are more than reasonable on used. Didn't really have much time to browse, but picked up (pardon the crappy camera):  Apparently, it's an earlier pressing of All Summer Long as Don't Back Down is credited as Don't Break Down on the front.

Went to a local record swap yesterday that was held at a pub, took about 20 albums and traded, sold a few jazz/punk records and 2 Eno doubles I had. Didn't pick up very much, a Botch 7" and a few others. Most stoked on the Bside of the Rascals 45 I picked up for a buck https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eUlHMfOb3cM fun 1968 blue eyed soul

I signed up as well. I dig their selections and what you get... at least the bonus art work seems cool, I couldn't give a drat about the cocktail recipe. If you read their FAQ they started the company with a record collection about 10 records big so I'm assuming they didn't realize how doofy their company's name sounded.

One of my most favorite bands in the world Broadcast is having all their full-length albums reissued on vinyl in March. Hooray! All of their stuff was rare and hideously expensive up til now. http://www.brooklynvegan.com/archives/2015/01/warp_records_re.html

Buddy of mine just knocked the price of an LP of his to $5. Some of you might like it (vocal style is kinda polarizing, but fits them) Also one of my favorite album covers ever. I enjoy seeing good local groups from wherever else, so check 'em out. https://ijiiji.bandcamp.com/album/yerself

PleasusChrist posted:Has there been a post about the best places to pick up records? I've been on Amazon and eBay and a few others, but I haven't found a site I loved. The closest record store is about 1.5 hours away in Orlando, and that's not convenient. Not sure where you are relative to Orlando, but Vinyl Hub will show you record shops near anywhere in the world. Hope this helps. Good luck!

eggsovereasy posted:How did you determine it was a bootleg? I have a copy I think is an original but who knows Bootlegs have some or all of the following: - A hand etched matrix number (in the case of mine) - A line missing from All the Madmen - Lousy audio quality (also in the case of mine) I guess a lot of bootlegs were created when Bowie just started getting big but before RCA got out their re-release with the black and white kicking Ziggy cover. Sucks too, because I found another copy that might have been legit a year ago and didn't pick it up.
