Does anyone know if the recent crop of Prince reissues are any good? They popped up pretty fast after he died so I'm wondering if they just poo poo out a bunch of CDs on vinyl.

They sound fine to me but I'm no audiophile or anything.

Death Waltz is repressing Le Matos' Turbo Kid soundtrack, which I'd never heard before but is loving fantastic. The whole thing is on Spotify and Bandcamp.

Some pickups from the last month or so. Bad photos of good records.     Rapeman - Budd USA Nails - No Pleasure Animal Lover - Stay Alive My Dad is Dead - Peace, Love and Murder Viet Cong - EP Waxahatchee - Ivy Tripp Total Control - Typical System Pord - Val Paraiso Woven Skull - Lair of the Glowing Bantling Silent Front - Trust Nisennenmondai - N' Brigid Mae Power - s/t Rorschach - Needlepack Zeni Geva - Disgraceland / Autobody The Normal - Warm Leatherette/TVOD Unwound - Kandy Korn Rituals / Against / Hating in D (Irritatingly, didn't check this properly when I bought it and it turned out to be the wrong record inside the sleeve.)

I picked up a new copy of Controversy a while back and it sounds fine to me. Hold off on Purple Rain though. A proper reissue's coming next year.

welp, wasn't expecting this- got the whole story from my store but basically Sonic Boom is the worst record store and can't keep a loving secret and should be punished. I like how all his singles have a different matte/glossy black on black sleeve. also grabbed Fist City- Greatest Splits and got a John Talabot DJ kicks CD gratis. threw in a download to share for some ambient/drone from a Deep Sea Mining Syndicate cassette.

I just wanted to fill in a couple holes in my collection and if I can get a brand new copy of one of them for 20 bucks I'd rather do that then give some jerk off 30+ dollars for an old copy that's "totally VG++!". I also found out that the reissue series was already well underway before Prince died so I'm less concerned about them just being lovely cash grab releases. Thanks for the responses.

Things are starting to roll in... Pre-orders and some overseas Amazon stuff Twin Peaks OST on drat Fine Coffee colored vinyl.    My friend's band Genders Phone Home on translucent purple wax.   Same buddy found a unopened box of a 45 his grandfather pressed and gave me one. Probably from the 50's or early 60's. Guess he was a jazz guy but it looks like they tried their hand at a novelty record. Pretty weird stuff.   Japanese Garage Comp. on purple swirl.   Tom Waits Early Years V.1-2 snagged from AmazonUK for about $25 shipped   Grabbed this without thinking 'cause it was seven bucks. When I got it I realized it was indeed all of their hits.... re recorded in the 2000's. It's not bad... just slightly off.   Goblin La Via Della Droga OST on heroin white wax  Dope soundtrack though...  Drive OST that I ordered drunk and paid way too much for, but damned if it isn't the most neon pink vinyl I have ever seen. This thing will definitely glow under a black light.   VMP edition of The Fugees

Numero Group seems to be throwing a bunch of stuff on sale at random. All Codeine LPs are $10. Not bad for each one being a double LP with their usual overboard linear notes.

Like if you expose the record itself to sunlight it literally melts, or if you get it wet it splits into two records.

Hipgnosis did a record for a rock band in the 70s with the same watercolour gimmick on the inner sleeve and you had to collect different 6 covers

Kompakt put a few copies of the Gas Box up on their webstore: http://www.kompakt.fm/releases/box Box is sold out everywhere (the preorder I placed with Amazon months earlier got canceled the day it was supposed to ship) so I jumped on this instantly; I urge anyone reading this to do the same.

Massive Attack is reissuing all their albums in the next couple of months. It'll be nice to pick up Heligoland without having to pay a scalper $200-300 bucks.

I'd also like to have another copy of Blue Lines. My outer sleeve of my original pressing is pretty beat. I just hope they're using the same masters. They're nice sounding records.
