At least you can still get old psych/prog rock records for penny candy prices. And classical. But that seems to be about the extent of it

Speaking of psyche rock. I found this last week.... Purchased their entire back catalogue instantly after I finished listening to this album. https://sunnataofficial.bandcamp.com/album/burning-in-heaven-melting-on-earth

hey, thread, I need a hand remembering the proper name for a vinyl gimmick device/media I had when I was a kid in the early 80s, and googling for phrases related to it isn't coming up with anything useful It was a sort of miniature record player, but the records were like 2" square clear vinyl squares stuck to larger cards that you'd slip into the back of the device to play. It had a beige housing and was basically a rectangular lump the size of a game boy with a large speaker grille cut into the front and three buttons (open, play, stop) at the top. The back plate, which clamped the card to the device, was clear plastic. The stylus was built into the back of the device and would spin around the groove when you pushed the play button. The cards I had were a set of animal cards, and the vinyl portion was a narration that talked about the animal for like thirty seconds, then there'd be thirty seconds of that animal's mating call or whatever.

I don't remember him showing that one specifically, but Techmoan on youtube more or less specializes in obscure formats exactly like that. Might be worth your while to look through his uploads and see if any of the thumbnails ring a bell.

I know I’ve seen a video of his with that technology, if I can actually find it I’d be shocked. Completely fake edit: I think this is the only thing I’m gonna find, it’s not the same but here enjoy it anyway. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=quF45LvBtwA

No, but skipping to that spot now, my previous statement stands Also, the device I'm thinking of came out several years before that. hexwren fucked around with this message at 21:43 on Mar 8, 2021 |

Aside from the various other things Mondo did, back when Death Waltz was still Death Waltz it was still cheaper to buy one of their records and have it sent to the US from the UK than the retail price of most Mondo releases. And they didn't lean into fomo so hard and would actually keep poo poo in print.

hahahahah, I saw that Mondo was distributing a new reissue of Return of the Living Dead, and the description made me want to throw things: The zombies run in Return of the Living Dead.  ...this doubles as a post letting everyone know they need a copy of the soundtrack to Return of the Living Dead, by the way

IG-88 posted:I’m always on top of this poo poo and I missed TMV reissue/issue. I’m so loving mad right now gently caress YOU The set is available for preorder through SRC Vinyl for $599.99 now. Seems to be the same set, wondering if they bought up copies from Clouds Hill to do it, but still probably cheaper than whatever people try to flip them for. https://www.srcvinyl.com/mars-volta...yyiJvWvjlvoVT2Z I'm still not going for it, $600 is too much scratch when I only "need" two or three of those albums.

Anyone ever buy from oldies.com? I grabbed a bunch of stuff from their 99¢ singles. Shipping wasn't terrible for the 45's. I think it was a buck each or something Shipping gets a little weird with 12" though. Pretty cheesy selection but I found some fun stuff. It kinda scratched that flea market itch.

Years ago this thread shared a sale where they had a ton of LPs at really good prices, like half of what Amazon would list them for. It was hit or miss if they actually had the stuff but they were pretty good about refunding you if it was out of stock.

Some good poo poo in the mail today: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tXFV3nkzwNE Also got that John Carpenter zoetrope slipmat, but I dunno if the printing is too low res or what but it doesn't look anywhere near as cool as it did on the website

In case anyone refers to this thread for new reissues/releases that they might otherwise miss, Stranded is reissuing the Gordons' EP and LP for a price that isn't in the Discogs standard $100+ range.

I think Dissappointed Owl bought several copies.

So my mom moved into a smaller place, and I inhereted my dad's old turntable that he had when I was growing up. It's technics SL-BD22 and I've got it hooked up to some old speakers I had. I also got both parent's collection of vinyl (probably a hundred records from the sixties and seventies, some good stuff, some... questionable stuff) and it's all in decent enough shape. I replaced the cartridge (I think it was the original 30-year-old unit) and right now my biggest problem is just speaker placement. The biggest question I have right now is, when my dad had it set up he had some kind of 'disc saver' that the RCA cables went through. It has AC power and seems like some kind of battery backup. It has RCA inputs and outputs. But when I had the turntable routed through there, the sound was muddled. It sounded like poo poo. If I bypass it, it sounds fine. What's the deal with that? Is it necessary and am I hooking it up wrong somehow? I'm assuming it's so that if we lose power, a disc that's playing won't stop immediately.

Is it a QED Discsaver? That’s just a phono preamplifier.

Nice mail day. Some vaporwave and another lovely shipping packing method by Target. I'm loving done ordering from them. Thankfully last 2 times they've refunded the records. I won't bother complaining this time though, it wasn't too hosed.

I really dig K.G. and L.W. I'll have to pick them up at some time. I got this really nice 45 tote.  Lucky me it came stuffed with records!  . . . .  Oh. never mind. A bunch of no sleeve, scuffed, dirty as hell easy listening records. These people meticulously organize their records and then trash em. The tote is in really great condition though. I'm starting down the path of organizing my 45's finally. Edit: Huh. That version of St Louis Blues isn't too bad. Maybe some other good stuff in there. sporklift fucked around with this message at 02:37 on Mar 12, 2021 |

I'm legit impressed they bothered to run that through a typewriter. As for my 45s I just stack them in the black and white mod tote my mother was given in the 1960s for her birthday, complete with the single Happy Birthday by Steppenwolf inside. I actually did pick up half a dozen 80s pop 45s from the thrift store recently but my big prize was a promo copy of Whoomp There it Is by Tag Team. Full album too, not DJ remixes of the title track. I haven't had time to clean any of the records but they all appear to be in good to great shape outside of the dust. The only downer is that a goodwill employee noticed Whoomp and accordingly marked it up to $7.

hey neat got a copy of the Chemical Brothers live album box set for 60 canadian on sale from 120. Then today it's 120 on sale from 160 so I guess it was a misprice. this stuff never works out for me! it's a very nice package, cool art prints etc. wish the DVD had all their music videos on it though.
