Tracking told me Thursday so I was a bit surprised when 20lbs of records showed up today. Haha that Bowie box is a beast. Glad I could help out with ruining some budgets this month.

The Bowie Box is MASSIVE. What the gently caress. I did not expect it to be this big.

List price is $400, it's on Amazon for $275 i think. I got it mainly for Outside and Earthling but that BBC radio recording sounds amazing.

On one hand that's a hell of a deal for the Bowie box set. On the other I don't listen to those albums of his much and I don't have much room in my current record storage. Quite the pickle...

for me, this bowie box is actually stuff I like and will listen to, along with stuff I would like to hear that I haven't gotten a chance to yet. hours is absolutely one of my favorites of his outside and earthling aren't quite on that level, but I like them I somehow have never gotten around to black tie, so here's my chance I have no actual idea what the buddha of suburbia is I haven't heard the BBC session, but I have watched his glastonbury appearance that was like three days earlier, and it's completely ace, definitely going to spin that on the semi-regular I downloaded an earlier, leaked version of toy years back, before he died, even and am interested to hear this version, which is slightly different in its track listing (the version being passed around back then included a couple tracks that were rerecorded for heathen - afraid and an early version of slip away under the title uncle floyd)

Buddha was music he did for a TV adaptation of the novel. It was long out of print until recently. The BBC session is amazing and was previously only available in a condensed version on a special edition box set of his early 70s BBC recordings. It rocked even in the condensed version and I can't wait to hear the full concert.

Got my Bowie box set today and the box had the corner bashed in something fierce. Thankfully the packed it with the foam supports and the box set itself was unscathed. I'm still in disbelief about the deal I got on this thing. Now after all these years I have a completed Bowie studio album collection (over both CD and vinyl) as Buddha was the only one I was never able to get.

Yeah, the Beatles box set flipped between 40, 100, 118 a few times in the last few days (sold out now). So check often.

Considering that set sold for $200 from Udiscover when it came out 2 years ago, that's still a decent deal.

When I moved to my apartment 2 years ago, I had 10 records. Now I'm at 149, and I've ordered several new reprints the last few days including Electric Lady by Janelle Monae, and Want One and Want Two by Rufus Wainwright. I need to stop.

Pulling all the double albums out of the cubes and into the trays also helped a lot. Current count is 162 with 2 more coming tomorrow and 10 more in various states of pre-order/awaiting shipment. But at least I got a couple of the Oingo Boingo reissues   So-Lo and Dark at the End are arriving tomorrow despite being ordered at the same time from the same seller on eBay  Now they just need to get the additional reprints of Only a Lad in stock.

Discogs says I have 1,150 records but I have plenty I haven’t entered. I guess some of those are bootleg CDs or rarer cds. So I might only have 1,100 records, plus what I haven’t put in Discogs.

Read After Burning posted:Why do records take up so much space, ARRRRRRGH. Yeah, I've basically reached the maximum amount of space I'm willing to commit to storing records in my home. Kind of a bummer but I knew it would happen at some point. I could probably thin the collection a bit but there really isn't anything I have that I don't still enjoy and listen to here and there.

I have 473 records and 614 CDs. I love the spread that Discogs puts on my collection - minimum value $6,644.51, median $12,601.06 and max $30,088.53. I think it's mostly due to the vintage stuff I inherited from my folks, many of which go from $5 to $500. stuff like this, which I imagine is ranging from "just the sleeve, and also it's bent and covered in crayon" to "new, still sealed, literally never seen the light of day, delivered by the band themselves"

I would just go ahead and throw out the max value on discogs for anything like that. Like you're saying it might be possible if it's still in shrink from the 70s or something but there's just far too many copies of these albums for anything not extraordinary to be much more than the already high median values.

Median value is a decent indicator, though for me I mostly collect thrift store records so I just have to know that the average condition of one sold on discogs is usually higher than one of mine. Currently I'm sitting at just over 1,000. I'm going to try and purge more at a garage sale this year again. edit: Enos Cabell posted:Lemme know when you do, I think I'm local to ya and need to beef up my paltry ~400ish albums. wa27 fucked around with this message at 15:25 on Apr 18, 2023 |

I have over 300 according to my Discogs list and I'm quickly running out of space. It doesn't help I'm a TMR Vault subscriber and those sets on average take up a lot of space. If I mooved those I'd have much more space in my current setup.

Discogs has me at about 100 45s and 300 33s/78s. I inherited about half of that from Dad's 1970s soft rock collection and a decent stack out of my grandparents' 1960s country stuff. Plus about 50 more 8-tracks. Not a darn bit of it worth anything, except there must be a bunch of Doors fans on Discogs. I have a couple of 8-tracks of them that have fetched a bit of money.

Vinyl Storage Solutions has a 30% discount going to RSD. Code RSD30. I'm a huge fan of their 3m inner sleaves. They're outer sleaves are really nice as well but run a little tight.

I wish MoFi would hire a single person that's less than like 70 years old. They just released a new Ultradisc and, of course, it's Elvis loving Presley.
