Lots of copies ranging from 8 to 25 dollars and it wasn't based on condition, just what the going rate happened to be when it was taken into the shop. And you all made me go downstairs and check if I kept a copy of Songs in the Key of Life. Which I did and it's complete with 7in and lyric book. Start pestering your parents friends for their old records? It was in that lot that was half Christian records I got a while back. The other half was folk singers, Motown peeps, John Denver, Chicago, and Gordon Lightfoot.

My Dad's childhood records are long gone, but I got everything he purchased as an adult and all the records my maternal grandparents had. Lots of John Denver, ABBA, James Taylor, Carole King and contemporary Christian in that set. A ton of 1960s country albums from the grandparents. Grandpa seems to have had a crush on Kitty Wells.

no, no porch pirates, plus my place is set a little far back from the road. I saw the notification and went right to the door since I was just waiting for the Bills game to start at that point and nothing there. Haven't seen it yet today but I'm hoping that it gets dropped off and I don't have to get in contact with the seller.

If it was USPS the thing they use to scan the package has a GPS in it that says where they left it. If your mail carrier left it at the wrong house they'll find it. I'm guessing UPS and FedEx probably have this as well.

Amazon and the USPS will routinely mark some of my stuff as delivered and I don’t get it till much later in the day or the next. Happens. Also why I ended up with an extra package of coffee filters for my Chemex from amazon. I filed a missing package slip, they sent out a new package and my initial arrived the next day.

They're universally despised and it's a miracle that they're still in business because their management is a rogues gallery of incompetence and corruption. Also Amazon contracts with them. Hooray. They're called Laser Ship.

Hey it finally happened to me. Walked into a thrift store during that 5-10 minute window where they put out new records and a flipper hasn't found them yet. I left about 35 more about the same quality that I wasn't interested in. Everything I left was gone when I realized Eat A Peach was supposed to be 2LP and went back about 20 minutes later to look for the missing disc.

Molly Hatchet may have the biggest mismatch between what their album covers look like (first wave european metal and/or Tolkien-friendly prog rock) and what they actually sound like.

Also the Fight Club Soundtrack makes you tear the cover in half and basically calls you a coward for trying to carefully open it. Yeah Icky Thump has a seal you have to tear to open. Also when the Dead Weather was first performing they did a grand opening for the TMR store and the band gave out special 7 inch records with sealed covers that had to be torn open to get the record. I think the band members painted stuff on the covers too. ALSO. There was some super limited dead Weather 7 inch single that was inside of a 12 inch single you had to break open. The 7 inch inside was only available that way. Jack White has said in interviews that he likes to troll record collectors. The Nashville store has a patio with a lucite floor and under it is a shitload of those stupid tri-color singles that people pay outrageous markups for. Sacred Bones has limited editions that are whatever new release with a screen printed cover over the regular cover sealed with a wax stamp but you can just slide them off without breaking the seal so it's less fun.

I like a challenge. Have a reverse shot too.  A hair dryer and a razor. Judicious use of Goo Gone to remove residual glue. Washed the Goo Gone off with soap and water. Used glue stick on the back of the sticker and mounted it on a sheet of acetate. I like it tucked in the back of the record.   CPL593H posted:Jack White has said in interviews that he likes to troll record collectors. And I like to troll Jack White.    mfers think they're gonna tell me how to enjoy my records, gently caress u yr not my real dad!!  If I'd bought that two-in-one breakapart single I would have cracked that nut figuratively and literally. I would have figured out the Fight Club soundtrack too if I bought it but I'm not really into that kind of music. edit: About that last composite image... when Vault #33 came out I bought a copy for my friend for Christmas, which was five months away. Took a lot of bullshit to order two because Jack doesn't want people flipping them, totally understandable, flippers ruin it for the rest of us who just wanna buy a gift. Anyway, I had put together a package which included a custom-made 8.5x11, 12-page book, with photos and artifacts from the release. I had formatted it using a sick typewriter font. I tried to get my hands on a typewriter but no luck.   Sadly I'm pretty sure those files are now gone. I had to use Courier Bold in the recreation, forgive me. Fake edit: I'll spare y'all another 10 MB of photos but the back cover, frankly, owns, and is worth the extra few MBs

I think those U-Turn players are pretty good, kind of the same type of "entry audiophile" turntable as the $400-ish Pro-Ject and Rega turntables. And hey you get a pretty nice Orfofon cartridge!

My experience with the U-Turn is, do not stretch the belt. If you do stretch it, put it in the freezer overnight. Also, talcum/baby powder helps give it grip.

If you only know Eddie Grant for one song, you're doing yourselves a disservice...his best-of is fantastic. I got the album on a whim because "Heh, Electric Avenue", but it's quickly hopped into regular rotation with just a few listens.:format(jpeg):mode_rgb():quality(90)/discogs-images/R-898423-1580212758-7244.jpeg.jpg)
