I've got a bunch of Dinosaur Jr singles in a 7" box set but aside from Dilla I wouldn't buy anything like that

Oh I forgot. I do have a box set of A-Trak remixes that are in 7” format. But those are loving awesome and were only released in that format.

The Titus Andronicus album The Most Lamentable Tragedy comes with instructions on how to play it. It's a triple LP, with one of the records plays at 45, the other two at 33. From the discogs page: Play order: LP1, Side One / LP1, Side Two / LP2, Side Three / LP3, Side Four / LP2, Side Five / LP3, Side Six

dorium posted:I own AFI decemberunderground on 6 7” records. We are all in this shame spiral together (if you don’t have an attachment to that album tho, consider flipping it for a high sum) Yeah I have this and I don’t think I’ve ever listened to it due to the combination of it not being a fantastic record and the sheer inconvenience. I’m not entirely sure why I picked it up, but I do remember I paid for it and didn’t bother actually collecting my copy from the store for about 6 months or so.

I’m not entirely sure why I picked it up, but I do remember I paid for it and didn’t bother actually collecting my copy from the store for about 6 months or so. Why was I in a Hot Topic? Because they had a small vinyl selection, and in 2007 it was hard to find anyone selling vinyl around here. The struggle was real On the other hand, the mid-2000s were such an affordable time to collect records. I was looking at a Stephen Malkmus and the Jicks double LP I bought at Best Buy in 2008. Price tag? $13.99. And a Cat Power record from a Madison store has a tag of $10.99. The aforementioned decemberunderground was either $20 or $25, it would easily be $40 today. I bulked up my Dad Rock collection buying huge lots of pristine discs from goons in SA Mart cheap. Obviously it was more that the vinyl market was in a depression ten years ago than that the prices are hyperinflated now. But drat do I miss those days

I wish I'd gotten into it a few years earlier. I started buying them in 2012 when it was starting to become a bigger thing so I missed out on the good deals. USPS postage costs didn't help either

Hot Topic vinyl prices used to be amazing because they'd stock a bunch of good punk and indie that wouldn't sell because it wasn't their target audience and it would get remarkably cheap. Now I don't even think they carry music in stores. It's just an edgy teen version of urban outfitters. Urban Outfitters occasionally has good in store sales on vinyl because their stock is also hilarious.

I will have to check my local Urban Outfitters to see if I can find any cool albums that are marked down. I have been having a lot of success at Dimple Records finding brand new sealed vinyl that has been marked down a bunch. Unfortunately, Dimple is only in the Sacramento area so that won't help most of you. I was able to pick up EPMD's "Strictly Business", "Back to Business", and "Unfinished Business" LPs for $12 each, sealed. Also grabbed a Sam & Dave repress for $9.

I have a As Friends Rust release that is 4 x 7" records. It honestly never bothered me. If you don't like getting up and swapping sides / records then stop buying records.

I've been collecting records for over a decade and in the last several years the prices of everything have become completely outrageous. Most new LPs were around 15 bucks or 20 if it was something fancy. Now a single new LP is often 25-30 bucks. There's also all kinds of old records that are triple or quadruple the price they were when I bought them. And then of course there is the record labels creating artificial scarcity and ebay flippers buying that poo poo up in droves. I'm so ready for the fad to die.

I have seen this happen too and it is frustrating. But on the other hand, I have also seen a ton of artists doing their own vinyl releases for reasonable prices and they include a digital download. For example, the run of albums that Kanye has produced recently (Daytona, ye, Kids See Ghosts, and Nasir) have all had a vinyl release + digital download for $15. The other benefit I have seen with the vinyl resurgence is that even if prices have gone up, it is way easier to find stores that carry vinyl now. Even within the past couple years, a few of the local music/dvd/book stores have started stocking used vinyl and regularly get new inventory. Just yesterday, I found a NM copy of Paul's Boutique for $10, so deals are definitely out there, it just might take more digging than before. I would have to think that if more stores start stocking vinyl, prices will level off, but that's just speculation.

CPL593H posted:Jesus, isn't buying a Killers album punishment enough? Fun fact - I also have it on 12" vinyl as well. And it's the original issue, meeting it's the only version with all 12 tracks. The UK and US CD and vinyl reissues feature 11 tracks. The UK CD has Indie Rock and Roll instead of Midnight Show I think, but I could be wrong. Either way, I'm sitting on a Killers gold mine.

My Chromatics arrived today, complete with NWS cartoon titty sticker on the package And like someone else here, I too had some bonus promo posters and CDs used as packing material. Score!    Thanks, Italians Do It Better  P.S. and I don’t have Amazon Prime, but my friend does, and so today I also got some love and hate

A couple of things I picked up today: Yes, that's Miles Davis covering a Cyndi Lauper song. The 80s were weird, man. Come to think of it, that could be a good descriptor of all four of these records. "No Room to Dance" is a punk/early new wave compilation of local (Hampton Roads, VA) bands from 1980. I got interested in it after listening to that Bloodstains Across Virginia bootleg I posted a while back, as the only real halfway decent songs on that record came from this compilation. As a bonus I discovered after buying it that two of the band members autographed the back, including one writing the word "SUX" following the name of the guy who wrote the album's liner notes. It adds a nice bit of flavor to the whole thing. Ballz fucked around with this message at 02:07 on Jun 19, 2018 |

I know my Phil Collins fandom is irrational, but this is just so wrong. I’m going to go ahead and follow this up by saying I have multiple pressings of many Genesis records, and I love Collins Genesis as much as Gabriel Genesis and I still think Collins’ solo albums have some deeply, deeply terrible stuff on them.

I mean different people get weird about how to care for/clean/wax wood, the answer to that one is maybe. But how dirty are the surrounds? Are they just dusty? Can you clean them with compressed air? Are they rubber or Kevlar? I wouldn’t do a thing if they’re foam.
