I also managed to snag one of these before they sold out ~10 minutes after they went up. That cover art is gorgeous! https://shiptoshoremedia.com/collections/video-game-soundtracks/products/tales-of-symphonia

rare reasonably-priced repress alert: the first shins album is getting a very colorful 20th anniversary edition for only 19 bucks https://megamart.subpop.com/collections/pre-orders/products/the-shins_oh-inverted-world-20th-anniversary-remaster kinda annoying though, since another recent repress is still available direct through sub pop (for $16) while both chutes too narrow and wincing the night way are sold out. hope i won't have to wait 2 and 6 years for reprints of those abraham linksys fucked around with this message at 02:03 on Apr 14, 2021 |

Two parcels from Japan, had to buy a couple of bulk lots because there were a few specifics I wanted in them but they were cheap so just went for it. Most of it is probably the Japanese equivalent of Whipped Cream but it's still nice to have some of the classic singers like Hibari Misora. The stuff I wanted  The what look like happy accidents  The chaff  The yellow cover in this one is apparently selling for 50USD+ because apparently the Japanese love disco covers of childrens songs? Condition is perfect including insert and OBI so I'm curious. The rest is just random stuff but with a few interesting looking album covers that I'm interested to see what's on it. I also have a soft spot for Enka so I don't mind having the others. Most of them are in fine condition, just need a clean. There are a few that will need to be chucked out though.     And the more targeted stuff. Top left I bought on a whim because I could find next to zero information about it but it's cover screams city pop to me, next to that is Omega Tribe, these are great because you can get them super cheap and feels like it's avoided the price increases of other city pop releases, top right is Jinpachi Nezu and below that it is Haruyuki Mizuguchi which is produced and features Tatsuro Yamashita but I can't find samples or anything anywhere which is strange considering he was such a big part of it. The other two are Yahyel, James Blake sounding synthpop and Tendre, modern pop/funk/soul

I never understood why people care enough out obi strips to pay extra money for a record that still has one. If I bought a record that had the strip I'd keep it but if there were two copies of the same album in front of me and the one without the obi was as little as five bucks cheaper that's the one I'd grab. It's just like those blu-ray weirdos with the slip covers.

I do enjoy my CD copy of Very by Pet Shop Boys more so for the solid orange case with lego like round bumps on it. Half the reason I bought of Montreal's Hissing Fauna on CD is because it came in a digi pack that unfolds from the center. I keep a CD from a band called Menomena because it's a flip book. I dunno guys CDs may have the edge on gimmick packaging.

Does anyone have the Spiritualized Ladies and Gentlemen 3” CD set? https://www.discogs.com/Spiritualized-Ladies-And-Gentlemen-We-Are-Floating-In-Space/release/607356 I wonder if anyone ever opened theirs. This is my favorite gimmick CD I own: https://www.discogs.com/Boredoms-Super-Ae-ス&%2312540;&%2312497;&%2312540;-&%2312450;&%2312540;/release/1160048 It’s also one of my favorite albums!! What a combo. Edit: Ugh that link won’t work. It’s Super æ by Boredoms. It’s a fairly large case and it’s filled with liquid. They did another one, same thing, for “Super Go!!!!! → Shine In ◯ Shine On” which is a great name. Toe Rag fucked around with this message at 01:55 on Apr 15, 2021 |

Is Electrohome the same as Crosley or better, worse? I bought one at a thrift store months ago and haven't even tried to put it to use. I think I saw you can at least upgrade the cartridge on them, and I think I bought it because I wanted something to play 78s and extremely old records on. ED: I was also thinking of turning it into a pedalboard or a dedicated record washing station in the event it was a POS. petit choux fucked around with this message at 16:18 on Apr 15, 2021 |

This is the only gimmick CD I have. D: Apologies if this isn't vinyl-specific, but I'm going to use my tax return on a basic-but-good-quality speaker set for my vinyl player. Anyone have any experience with this one?  Keep in mind, I'm not an audiophile and this is just a basic starter setup for now.https://www.amazon.com/Edifier-R128...18432764&sr=8-1

Read After Burning posted:This is the only gimmick CD I have. D: Some CDs have secret tracks you can hear if you hold down the reverse or forward buttons. The ones I know about are Nevermind and a couple of David Cross albums because I have those. Not all copies of Nevermind have the secret track it's just the earliest copies. petit choux posted:Is Electrohome the same as Crosley or better, worse?

I think I saw you can at least upgrade the cartridge on them, and I think I bought it because I wanted something to play 78s and extremely old records on. Shellac 78s need a different kind of stylus than what a vinyl record uses so playing a 78 on something with a stylus meant for vinyl LPs can gently caress up the stylus and probably the record. Also, if you happen to have an ATLP-120 it has a 78 speed you just have to press the 33 and 45 buttons at the same time. edit: I just realized that newer models might not have the 78 speed but mine does because its older.

Skinny Puppy's Last Rights on CD had some pretty severe quality control issues and the album actually started at like -1:32 or something, and each track transition was off by the same amount. They had another album where the CD was initially released with Dolby noise reduction applied. It sounded very muffled compared to the re-release. Then yet another album had some copies where the music was actually from another band. Then finally their first live album had no track divisions at all in the initial pressings, just one hour long track. That might have been intentional though, not really sure. All of these issues were fixed the digital release/later pressings.

screaden posted:https://www.instagram.com/p/CNtm3-ujGiu/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link I think the main problem is that the label area of a record is usually raised so it won't flatten the record much if at all. But There is a very expensive product for that. https://vinylflat.com/vinylflatproducts.html There is also a chance you will gently caress up yer wax. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NkO3X3zSALg&t=168s Oh yeah.
