Some recent finds: Florida's bay area has some absolutely fantastic shops. I've been to Bananas but didn't want to negotiate traffic to it this time, so Google told me Clearwater Records was nearby. If you're looking for stuff that's not brand new, go there. Great prices and the biggest selection of $1-2 vinyl that had some nice stuff in there. The Genesis album came from elsewhere.

Mobb Deep The Infamous pressing at VMP just went up, seems like it's gonna sell out within an hour or so probably, if anyone is interested.

Holy loving  https://thirdmanstore.com/third-man-records-shinola-turntable quote:The limited edition Third Man Turntable is a joint effort between the Shinola Audio team and Third Man Records. In our ongoing mission to empower new generations of music lovers and vinyl enthusiasts, it felt right to strike up a partnership with Shinola, because a collaboration like this needs to be fueled by a mutual passion for well designed objects and appreciation for the power of music. $2500. And it doesn't even do 78 RPM.

PancakeTransmission posted:Less than a year. But I wouldn't call it collecting, I'm only bothering to get albums that I actually want and that aren't overpriced ($50 AUD per album is my general limit... I just saw reissues of NIN - Downward Spiral and Tool's Lateralus for ~$90 AUD brand new in stores so it sounds like Amazon is the way to go for some). Oh I'm not one of those dildos who buys things because they're ~collectable~ or for price speculation or stuff like that. I just get poo poo that I like. Nail Rat posted:Holy loving quote:This item is excluded from the free shipping over $100 promotion and flat rate international shipping One would think that the guy who jizzes when he sees a shellac record would be selling a turntable that has a 78 speed. Who the gently caress is going to buy this? If you can drop that kind of money on a turntable why the gently caress wouldn't you just get a Technics 1200 or something? It's considerably cheaper than this plastic garbage and it's a loving Technics 1200. Moe_Rahn posted:What are the odds that it can't play those 3" singles either? I saw one of the ones that does in a store the other day. It's 80 dollars.

Finally finished cataloging my records and am going to reorganize them. How do you all organize? I have ~725 records and am probably going to organize based on my local record store, though I'm sure someone has a better way: -Jazz -R&B / Soul -Hip-Hop/Rap -Metal -Prog -World -Comps -Ambient -Catch-all Classic Rock -Catch-all College / Indie -Synth-pop / Dance / etc -Yacht -poo poo I've bought to sample and will never actually touch

Straight alphabetical baby. Back when I had a giant DVD collection I tried the by genre thing but I turned into Rob from High Fidelity re-organizing one too many times so now it's A-Z or bust. edit: Just by artist name, though. I also have divider cards for each letter so I know roughly where to look when I'm after something. esperantinc fucked around with this message at 23:30 on Nov 6, 2019 |

alphabetical, chronological by artist, and there are exceptions to alphabetical (ie john samson solo goes with weakerthans, trent reznor and atticus ross soundtracks go with nin, however thom yorke does not go with radiohead)

Didn’t expect so much pure alphabetical! My wife wants that, but I choose based on mood so genre works a hell of a lot better for me. I would probably listen to less jazz if it wasn’t in its own section and I couldn’t easily browse it all. I’m fully overthinking this.

Still a filthy CD heathen for the most part, but I have them loosely organized by genre with my favorites bubbling up to the top. Definitely considering alphabetical though since all the racks got mixed up recently since space became an issue.

Moe_Rahn knows what's up. The movie soundtrack section is alphabetical by title, though. Though my Residents section is basically a total middle finger, I don't know what the gently caress is going on there, it's a mess and I don't have time to go through it all.

Asnorban posted:Finally finished cataloging my records and am going to reorganize them. How do you all organize? Way too much effort. My records used to be alphabetical, but I haven’t had the motivation to shift stuff around to make room for new additions, which are mostly just piled in wherever there is room. My 7”s especially are out of order from moves. I nearly couldn’t find one of my rarer / “more special” 7”s the other day and was v. sad. (I found it). My CDs are just in boxes in the closet with varying degrees of organization.

CDs are alphabetical by artist then album by release date (including rereleases). Vinyl is mostly genre and then BPM but I have a bunch of "crates" that are notated with post-its and ordered by flow/place in the mix. It looks like a mess but it's a good system. Records are in sleeves with 'to-play' track facing forward. If it's the b-side then the back side of the sleeve faces outward. If it's a multi disc then the play track side still faces out but the sleeve is oriented based on if it's the first or second disc. If I'm playing 2 tracks from a single album then it's notated on the post-it.

Alphabetical here, also, though I have soundtracks, VA collections and classical music in their own block after Z. I have a few cases where solo albums are grouped with the main band (the one Steve Howe record I have comes to mind) but for the most part, boringly alphabetical. It's slightly awkward in that my shelving is a (sideways) 2x4 kallax with a vertical 1x4 kallax just to the right of it, so I start at the top and work my way down:

I had a wild idea when I first organized in my shelving to do Alphabetical. Now it's just, order I have listened with most recent pulls in front.  We're putting the house on the market and moving soon. I hope to get a better handle on record storage and organization in the new digs.Not gonna lie, the idea of disconnecting and driving my turntable to a new location makes me only a LITTLE anxious.

The Walrus posted:Fiona Apple Tidal at VMP - get it quick it'll go fast Think so? From reading reddit, they indicated they repressed a lot of these. Also, am I missing something with this album? I got the impression that it was incredibly expensive on the second-hand market, but looking at discogs it doesn't seem like the prices are bad compared to plenty of other VMP releases. Was kinda hoping it would make it to swaps.

This is certainly the dumbest vinyl I own, seeing as it's made out of leaves. Trying to explain to customs what was going on here, was a bit of a mess.   (i did also get some actual working ones with it, and a test press of The Armeds Untitled album as you can see in the first photo, and a vhs from tommy wiseau...)
