Hagar and fusion-Montrose is dope, Toto's discography is fire. There. It's settled.

They’re gonna be expensive as hell imports, but gently caress yeah Yello is reissuing a bunch of albums including the early Ralph Records releases. I’ve been searching for a copy of Solid Pleasure FOREVER. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bL771b_5AlM

Pretzellogic posted:Most record shops I've known use lighter fluid, specifically Ronsonol, to remove stickers. Soak the sticker with a q-tip/cotton ball/paper towel, let it sit, and then gently remove the sticker and any remaining goo. Ronsonol dries completely and doesn't leave a stain on the cover. I've successfully used rubbing alcohol for this. The tricky thing is album covers are made from all different types of paper and have all different kinds of texture so I don't think there's a one size fits all solution. At this point if I can't easily peel the sticker off without damaging the cover I just leave it on. This doesn't account for previous owners putting labels on with their names and stuff but a lot of dealers use stickers that come off easily and don't rip the paper or leave behind a residue.

Yeah, sometimes you just have to leave them on and hope somebody appreciates the aesthetic. Scored big at the Goodwill, found a complete Wagner's Ring and a complete like 16-record set of Bach's compleat organ music for $5, all appearing in very good or better condition. And I have had my brain fried by collecting, apparently. I found this dumb exercise bike record with a goofy psychedelic cover and I can't stop cussing myself for not buying it, instead of stuff I know is good to listen to that I chose over the novelty record.

I got my collector brain to calm down somewhat, not exactly sure how I did it but I think it's partially due to finally having a collecting budget. I see the cam sites are back to spamming discogs users today.

Lighter fluid works but it feels weird using it. A few drops and the sticker should practically fall off.

This probably sounds corny but I kinda like the stickers or names written on them sometimes. It's like the record has a history. IT's cool to think about how many times the records have changed hands over the years. If there are two copies of the same record in the same condition and one has a beat up cover I'll obviously choose the nicer cover. But if you want a nice pristine album cover then don't buy records that are decades old I guess.

I stopped buying silly poo poo because space is really at a premium so even if it's a dollar or something I have to pass it up simply because I don't have the room for goofy crap I'm never going to play.

But if you want a nice pristine album cover then don't buy records that are decades old I guess. Agree on both points. My record collecting has slowed to a glacial pace due to not really wanting to give up any more space to records. I could cull the collection a little bit but there's very little I have that I don't still want and/or actively listen to but... effort.

I find the ones I have been culling are mostly the thrift store level "this looks amusing" ones and they're going right back out. I'm motivated because I have a couple records coming from Australia that I really do want, and want to make space in the form of more going out than in.

I get leaving the imperfections. One of my favorite video game cartridges is a Japanese copy of snes street fighter that has the original owners name scrawled on it with sharpie in Japanese. I’m leaving it there.

I think I posted about this but a couple months back I got some old comedy records at Savers and they were both signed by the comic and personalized. And one of them had a press release and his agent's business card with some handwritten notes on it. It was kind of neat. I'll take some pictures when I'm not being lazy.

Jim Silly-Balls posted:You love to see it I suppose I'm still new enough to vinyl to not exactly know what's going on here. It seems like the needle is still touching the record. Is it playing fine despite being severely warped? Or is it skipping like crazy?

Yeah, sounds like garbage, and in certain places the warping is enough that the record will hit the back of the cartridge and lift the needle off the record. It was a "why not?" purchase from the goodwill $0.99 pile because the cover caught my eye and I'm pretty likely to take a risk on 70's funk albums, so I'm not mad about it, its just ridiculous how warped they can get. Also, this record seems extremely thin and flimsy in general though. Beve Stuscemi fucked around with this message at 16:01 on Sep 19, 2022 |
