I was expecting Saint Vitus and Pentagram. The George Gershwin was a surprise. I guess the guy on Discogs is trying to get rid of some records, or he thought "This guy would clearly appreciate this weird symphony album."

A lot of guys who sell records online use junk records/covers or stuff of little value as packing to protect the actual items you buy. I've gotten this a few times. Sometimes they also just throw in extra crap as kind of a bonus and to clear out stuff that's not worth enough to bother listing.

Yeah I sandwiched a record a friend wanted between 2 Organ LPs to more safely ship it. And once he got a bunch of 45s from Berlin, and the seller put a bunch of cheap 45s since it'd be the same price to ship, and to get rid of unwanted inventory.

That makes sense. It's a thick cardboard cover, so it was probably extra padding.

That's how I ended up with a couple mc hammer records. Then i went ahead and threw those into a birthday package for my brother.

Feelin' it so hard.

Guess I'm on a compilation kick...


Got these during one of those overseas Amazon deals. Volume 4 (Green) seems pretty elusive which will probably trigger my OCD for years.


Sorry about the blurry picture but I grabbed these from the Light in the Attic spring sale. Haven't had a chance to listen but I'm sure I'll dig these.

Just watched this movie and had to grab the soundtrack. Volume 2 is a little too disco/80's but it $10 for the colored wax version so I snagged it as well.

Edit:

Got this as packing material and both the album and the cover rule.

bang that shit retarded
Hadn't gone record digging in a while, so was super happy to find a Lovelites this weekend. Seriously one of the best non-majors group vocal / Chicago sound soul LPs. Wish the jacket was in better condition, but 2 bucks and the record is super clean so I'm not mad. I've bid on a copy a number of times but never high balled it to win.

Far-Out Recordings is apparently re-mastering a number of Quartin LPs from master tapes, they've already release Jose Mauro and Piri:

You wrote me a letter,
and this is how it went:
Sold a record on Discogs, but it turned out to be the wrong variant so I swiftly reached out to explain and canceled the order. Didn't get any response so I figured, whatever. Didn't leave a feedback nor did he. You can put in your feedback within 90 days, after which you cannot. This guy just gave me an extremely angry negative feedback, and he did it with literally 5 minutes to spare before the 90-day deadline, giving me no chance to respond. He must've set an alarm or crossed it off on his calendar to post minutes before it happened or something.

That is some dedication to payback.

Can you email discogs and see if they can help you give a response. If this guy put together a plan to screw you it'll probably make him 10x as mad if you're​ able to respond and fix it a little.

I did and I was able to put a reply at my negative feedback which is enough for me. Don't really care about the 2% lower feedback ranking I now have. The fact this was 3 month payback scheme was weird enough.

Yeah they have been heavily hinting at this all month. Official announcement is tomorrow. I can't stand Fiona Apple so I'll either swap it or sell it. Looks like there has never been a vinyl release of it. Wonder how much it will go for.

I know people are going to hate me for this and I forgive them even though they're wrong, but VMP is everything that is bad about collecting vinyl today.

1) the name. It literally cannot be worse. Vinyl me?
2) all of their releases are hipster junk in gimmicky colors
3) everything about it makes me think it's run by some 30 year old guys in hoodies

"well known" by people who don't know what they're talking about lol. pvc is semi-opaque white by default. carbon black dye is traditionally used in vinyl records to hide flaws. maybe you're thinking of picture discs?

id be really interested in seeing proper scientific trials of this. A lot of what I saw when I was looking at it was comparing blacks to colored represses rather than limited colors of the same pressing run as the black standard one
