Haha one of the first things I bought was a €5 copy of Rumours and now every time I see one it's (sometimes considerably) more expensive and I think "heh, one born every minute." Although considering the guy who sold me the record this is all about had Rumours in the €12 bin, I maybe shouldn't gloat. I'll never buy Pink Floyd. Both my and my girlfriend's parents have a bunch of Pink Floyd on the shelf and we'll get at it eventually. Just hope vinyl's still hot poo poo then so we can sell the doubles.

Amazon has Donuts for $14, at least in the US, if you didn’t have a copy already.

Dipshits paying entirely too much money for things is exactly why collecting records sucks now. Any newer record stores I've seen pop up price things by whatever the highest price is one discogs. And people are falling for it.

Soho in London has a bunch of shops within a stones throw of each other: Phonica Sounds of the universe Reckless Sister Ray are all really good, SOTU and Phonica in particular. A bit further out (but still close to the tube) Flashback has branches in Angel and Shoreditch and is good for second hand stuff.

Going through old VHS tapes, I found one of the Time Life music series ads. Among the albums being sold on vinyl (or cassette or even cd) was this Beach Boys album: The faces are recognizable (though Mike is a process of elimination), but everything else is a beautiful mess, the least of which is Dennis as the tallest one.

I inherited a stack of like twenty of those time-life records when my father-in-law got rid of his vinyl, I never actually gave the cover art much of a look, I should see if there's any more winners in there.

I just snagged a bunch of these on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B019R8HBMK/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s01 I needed something for all my white label house records that isn't too thick so it won't decrease the amount of records I can transport, but isn't the flimsy poly-only liners you get from MoFi that won't stand up on their own and are kinda hard to slip records into with one hand. I'll report back soon.

If anyone here is into Klaus Nomi, his debut album is getting a reissue. Reasonable at $20. https://shop.realgonemusic.com/products/klaus-nomi-klaus-nomi-lp

That and he is also a crazy collector, but yeah I think he likes to mess with people. Also. VMP announced yesterday that it is shutting down its forums. Kinda a bummer as there were a few threads I followed but my wallet will be better off without that vinyl deals thread.

I mean the active users are their core group of subscribers that buy a LOT of records each month and they just really pissed off 99% of them with this announcement. They also did a really poor job of explaining why they were doing this, gave only 48 hours notice, and the CEO (?) came in and acted like a complete rear end in a top hat to people that were upset. Those customers have been very active on there for years so I understand the anger.
