Got my bass music shipment in. Only half of it came. The rest are in pre order because they haven't been pressed to vinyl yet or are being pressed.

I barely even buy records anymore because it's too expensive :( thanks uni

If I could get a copy of Diamond Mine by Jon Hopkins & King Creosote for not $150 that would be great


Wow, I bought this for £7.99. Had no idea it was so valuable! Not selling though :allears:

What's in the Taang! box set? Does it include Sold Out by Gang Green because I would love to own a copy of that loving record
It's the first ten Taang! singles, with original picture sleeves, book with recording/pressing info and a CD.There are a few Gang Green singles, Sold Out b/w Terrorizer is Taang! #1 and orginials go for what I paid for the boxset and I was laughing at someones listing on discogs of an original VG+ sleeve and insert for $50.

Does this skip like loving crazy for you as well? I'm going to email the label this afternoon and complain.
I think they just crammed the two hour album onto 3 LPs, I noticed the runout lock groove on side C is literally the last second of the song with no dead space betweeen so it just repeats. I haven't noticed crazy skipping on my copy, I'd suggest a head shell weight and see if that helps.

Dopesmoker is probably my favorite record to look at in my collection just because of how gorgeous the gatefold is

I did!



The Roots record at the bottom is my wife's, because she has better taste in music than me. I went out with a few specific things in mind: David Axelrod's first two albums, anything Townes Van Zandt, an LP or 45 that has the Ike and Tina Turner song "Too Many Tears" and 10cc's first two albums. As you can see, I was only successful with the last choice.

10cc is a weird, eclectic little pop-rock band that was pretty obscure in the States, although to my understanding they were fairly popular in Britain back in the 70s (feel free to correct me, Brit goons). I learned about them a while ago after they were sampled on J Dilla's Donuts and genuinely loved "The Worst Band in the World."

Incidentally, I did find a bunch of Townes Van Zandt 45s, but they were priced about $30 each which is kind of ridiculous.

They were extremely popular in Australia like many other bands that were unloved in their homeland. They spun off Godley and Creme who were even more obscure.

This song is great. I'd been aware of 10cc but never really looked into them. I think now I'll have to.

To me, like Supertramp, 10cc were a decent band that was hamstrung by being too clever for their own good. I like a number of their singles, and even Godley & Creme's "Five O'Clock in the Morning" is just a hair's breadth away from being a really great single (decent musically, poo poo lyrics.)

In the US, they're mainly known for The Things We Do For Love (with a few people remembering I'm Not In Love and a few other bits)

ULTRA LP FEATURES:

- 180 gram vinyl
- 2 vinyl-only hidden tracks hidden beneath the center labels
- 1 hidden track plays at 78 RPM, one plays at 45 RPM, making this a 3-speed record
- Side A plays from the outside in
- Dual-groove technology: plays an electric or acoustic intro for “Just One Drink” depending on where needle is dropped. The grooves meet for the body of the song.
- Matte finish on Side B, giving the appearance of an un-played 78 RPM record
- Both sides end with locked grooves
- Vinyl pressed in seldom-used flat-edged format
- Dead wax area on Side A contains a hand-etched hologram by Tristan Duke of Infinity Light Science, the first of its kind on a vinyl record
- Absolutely zero compression used during recording, mixing and mastering
- Different running order from the CD/digital version
- LP utilizes some mixes different from those used on CD and digital version

Yeah those are good examples.

I put out a 7" that plays from the outside in and inside out, meeting in 2 locked grooves in the middle. And clear vinyl, with circuit board and windshield glass cover. That was 18 years ago. I'm biased but I think it's cool. Aardvark, the guys who do all the fancy masters for RRR did it.

E- also Runzelstirn and Gurglestock did some interesting stuff, I think they had their own lathe.

People getting mad about things they don't need to buy and things that don't affect anything. I don't buy this stuff, but I like to see how far Jack White takes vinyl records as far as cramming "features" into the disc itself. It's fun.

If this stuff has been done, its the same shame of a bigger artist doing something that an artist hardly anyone knows about already did 3,000 years in the past. Its not like its common knowledge that a noise-specific record store was playing around with vinyl in similar ways before Jack White has. Sorry to steal away the very little thunder that RRRecords had

what those labels did is more interesting to discuss than the latest jack white pressing chock full of well-trod gimmicks. its cool that you think it's fun to see jack white specifically doing this but i think it's fun to talk about the people who already did and don't get talked about as much. maybe a couple people who read it will visit rrr or buy something online or just think ron is a cool and clever guy.

that's valuable and i'll poo poo on jack white every day if it means one more person will know what rrr is

The song on the center label is pretty cool. So is the spinning "hologram."

edit: :lol: in the video he says the matte side "looks like a brand new 78 might have look like in 1978." Who the hell was putting out 78s in the late 70s?

yea i never said they weren't gimmicks. just more interesting. what's that have to do with anything? i don't really see what making that point accomplishes?

Jul 29, 2011

Its your opinion, but I cannot honestly see how it would be cool to have steel plates, a plastic bag, or an American flag than to actually have a record that plays music in a bunch of weird ways as well as just have the regular album included. At least Jack White's gimmicks have some practicality except for the liquid disc.

Oh neato, I get to throw away this plastic bag or find out where to recycle these steel plates or put this American flag in my closet.
