Always sort your discogs collection by median value. Highest value and lowest values are generally meaningless. Median won't be the true value either, but it will be pretty accurate for ranking what's actually the most valuable.

oingo boingo is a weird band because they put our some incredible bangers in the 80s and I'd absolutely pick up Dead Man's Party if I saw it at a store but that first album is a loving nightmare via Wikipedia quote:Elfman claimed that many of the songs were inspired by newspaper articles he had read at the time and were "written as in-your-face facetious jabs."[2] "Little Girls" courted controversy for its theme of underage relationships. The video for the song, directed by his brother Richard Elfman, was purportedly banned in Canada.[3] The music video features Elfman dancing inside a surreal, empty suburban house, joined by dwarfs and teenage girls. The band members are later seen staring complacently in shop windows and drinking tea while Elfman's character walks down a street with an apparently underage girl. this doesn't even include the title track which is basically about how juvenile delinquents are inherently evil, up there with Keep Em Separated for hosed up "punk" songs abraham linksys fucked around with this message at 05:36 on Jul 3, 2021 |

Treated myself to a couple of the newer Mountain Goats albums. Now I can start working backwards into their catalog. God help me. Was looking through the 7" section and came across the "The Last Thing You Forget" by Title Fight which surprised me. I was of the thought that was a CD/Digital only release. I always seem to find something interesting at Record Breakers So happy I moved back to Chicago

The only Oingo Boingi thing I own is the thing my avatar comes from. That EP was good enough for me.

I'm an '80s SoCal baby and am fully on board with Boingo (I actually just got roped into going to one of the Elfmanless reunion shows in Salt Lake City in December). Also probably the reason why 80% of the music I listen to involves marimba.

Even highest can be good for finding the most valuable, and for insurance appraisal purposes highest or median is what I would use, I guess my point was that if I was trying to turn my collection into cash, I’m going with lowest value. I have probably 1000 records on discogs and only a few hundred that I could sell easily. I’d spend the rest of my life trying to move some of that stuff individually. It’s all the crap i have that might have a median value of $5 that distorts the real value. I have hundreds of classical LPs in good condition that nobody wants or is buying outside of a select few, but discogs puts a value to each one of them.

Got my Garth yesterday  Is there any consensus on whether Analog or Collectors is the set to keep? My brothers are each going home with a set tomorrow (unbeknownst to them) but I don't want to open them all up to do a listen test myself first.

Totally dug No Fences and really enjoying how laid back The Chase is. Can't speak for the remasters (yet  ), but the analog-sourced records sound quite pretty.

Vinyl is the cool gift everyone is collecting this holiday season. You can find most of the cool people there. With vinyl you can just chill and do whatever and totally relax. "Take it easy" is the vinyl collectors' motto, for example, that's how laid back it is there. Listen to vinyl if you want to have a good time. Another good reason to listen to vinyl is if you want to hang out with friends.

Smoking Crow posted:what are the best inner and outer sleeves to protect my records By outer sleeves do you mean bags? I think any of those are fine. Whatever’s cheap or handy. For inners some people swear by MOFI, and they’re great. I have no problem with the knockoff MOFI sleeves you can sometimes find at Walmart or the paper sleeves with poly linings. Those last ones are especially good if you don’t like the way mofi inners fit in your sleeves. I don’t have that problem because I keep my record outside the outer sleeve because I’m a moron.

Many will not. Also avoid those crinkly very clear ones because they rip constantly. You can find them cheaper than what they're listed there.

I still like my 5Mill sleeve city ones and generic bags unlimited floppies for generic sleeve records. Mofi-style inners for 12inch records. Haven’t tried making the change to my 10” and 7” inch records to a rice paper sleeve but they are in those diskeepers which I think if you don’t want to wait for mofis or spend that much on sleeves diskeepers 2.0 are great and reliable. If they’re in stock.

They're currently out of stock at Amazon but Invest In Vinyl rice paper sleeves are comparable to MoFi's and typically several bucks cheaper which might explain why they're sold out. But keep an eye out for when they restock! I last bought a pack a couple of months ago.
