Yeah, having a strong lamp near your turntable is pretty much mandatory, I’d say

wa27 posted:I've only ever seen this on new records, and it's stupid. My copy of My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy needs a magnifying glass to tell which side is which (and there's 6 of them) I have a few records like this (I think Ok Computer and a couple others. ) I just wrote what side it was in sharpie. I guess if you are worried about value you could stick a post-it note on the label. I used to do that when I played out in dark bars. Edit:. A piece of painters tape would work too maybe sporklift fucked around with this message at 19:13 on Jun 19, 2022 |

My OG first pressing of De-loused... looks like the records were stuck up on a wall and spray painted silver. There's no identifying marks on them at all. I don't really know their songs that well either so I have no idea whether I have put the correct side of the right record on to play first

Just have to wait for shipping from Serbia now, but that'll give me time to clean up the 2230. probably blowing up my spot but if either you fancy in the box Marantz vintage turntable and power amp there is a reasonable bid going down on this estate sale site.

You really ought to get those right. Please allow me to help.  Here’s side 1 track 1: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=sJDDNyGBsw8 And side 3 track 1: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ZNRZ91t7B0I I’m a heathen who writes on the labels too if it comes down to it. Sometimes even when it is labeled, but that’s more out of my own ignorance.

How do you folks use categories on Discogs? I’ve never known how it ought to be used, so my relatively small (roughly 250) collection is all marked ‘uncategorized’. I feel like there must be a better way of organising it into something vaguely usable.

Creature posted:How do you folks use categories on Discogs? I don't. Way too lazy for that. I might though soon, as I'm slowly adding a box of like 100+ of my Mom's old 45s from the late 50s/early 60s into discogs to see if any have any value (spoiler alert: they don't).

Toe Rag posted:Artist country. I'm trying to focus on finding more Finnish albums so sorting them into their own category makes sense. Can't believe I hadn't thought of this. Moe_Rahn posted:These are my pretty vague categories, they're more to satisfy my compulsion to sort stuff than anything. "Uncategorized" is the default for any of "my" records, some of the others are by origin (e.g. "X's Parents' Records" is pretty self-explanatory, "Briefcase Full of 8-Tracks" is a, well, briefcase full of 8-tracks, that I bought at a garage sale and am very slowly cataloguing because most of them aren't in the database.)

I'm not a Foo Fighters fan and my mom was disappointed in the covers. Turbinosamente is awesome. They sold me this album at a very fair price after giving it a listen-through to ensure its quality. Hats off to you goon sir, madam, or non-specified!

I'd also suggest rubber instead of felt because felt mats create a lot of static. Cemetry Gator posted:My weird al one looks amazing. You're going to tell us this and not show us?
