Turbinosamente posted:Ah so that explains why it can take a day or so to have new releases added to discogs. I don't have time to learn their style guide to make new entries myself so I just wait until some one else does it. I thought this guy had an interesting take on the contributing to discogs thing. https://dollarcountry.org/items/show/27109 He also has a really awesome mixcloud show focusing on old, unknown country 45s. https://www.mixcloud.com/DollarCountry/

New Vault package announced recently.   quote:THIRD MAN RECORDS ANNOUNCES VAULT PACKAGE #59: ELVIS PRESLEY AT 706 UNION AVE: THE SUN SINGLES 1954-55 It's cool but I'm not even sure it's $60 cool, let alone $75 cool. If you love Elvis, maybe.

That 45 adapter looks nice but I do not trust Third Man with patches after the Sleep box. Here. Save yourself some dough. https://www.discogs.com/master/107699-Elvis-Presley-The-Elvis-Presley-Sun-Collection?format=LP

I tried to get a Danzig and got Sister Rosetta Tharpe - Live in 1960. It's quite an upgrade. I do wish that I had the opportunity to order more than one album the night this was happening. Oh well.

well I did something cool I hosted a vinyl night at a local bar where I set up two turntables and a mixer and brought about 40 records and encouraged people to bring in their own. I honestly did not expect anyone to but a bunch of people did! so my "set" was like 40% random poo poo people took with them, which was good because I kind of ran out of things to play by the end! (it was 4 hours though) all the stuff that was brought owned too, I got two King Gizzard records and they both ruled, some weird Fripp & Summers insane disco thing (??), Kraftwerk's Radioactivity, a Hall & Oates cut that actually was good, a random blues record which was okay but something I could mix out of, and some other stuff I forgot about. I am pretty sure I made some transitions that have never been made before in human history

I'd be kinda paranoid taking my albums to a bar, but I suppose anyone that came up with an idea like this would be good at handling them. Out of curiosity, do you know which two Gizz albums they brought?

Been cataloguing all my stuff on discogs over the past week. Was able to find exact pressings of most things but man it gets tedious from the phone app. Almost done though! Only have like half a kallax shelf left. Super satisfying to finally have a nice, sortable list of everything.

Followed by like 3 more messages about the same record because some nerd got in a slap fight about it.

Nightmare Cinema posted:Ah I'm confused now bc that album looks to have the master cut at one and then pressed at the other or vice-versa depending if its black / color / etc. Yeah, sometimes the lacquer will be cut at one place and then sent somewhere else to be pressed (usually GZ) because the first pressing plant doesn't have the capacity to press it themselves. Most are fairly small operations, with GZ being the largest pressing plant still in existence today so a lot of the larger releases get sent over there. In other news, I did my semi-annual pilgrimage to my old stomping grounds of St. Petersburg, Florida, and came home with a bunch of beat up but still charming (and stupidly cheap) finds:  Most of these come from either Bananas Records in St. Pete or some antique store in Plant City that had a "buy 6 for  " deal. The Quincy Jones came from a Goodwill and is in shockingly good condition for Goodwill fare.That copy of Heart's Magazine is the OG version released without the band's approval that was eventually recalled. Not especially rare, but a neat version to find if you know what to look out for. And speaking of forbidden music, two of those three Erroll Garner records were released without his consent during his lawsuit against Columbia Records. After he won his lawsuit, the albums were recalled, never to be released again. There are probably about two dozen people out there who care about those albums, but I count myself among them so am happy to finally have them in my unnecessarily large collection of Erroll. Lastly, that coverless Blue Note is Lou Donaldson's Alligator Bogaloo. The record is in great shape... just missing that cover! Edit: I forgot to include Ahmad Jamal's "But Not For Me" in the pic, Just pretend there's another random 60-year-old jazz record and you're all set.

sigh I'm loving around on the mobile fidelity site like I do every so often, pondering what could possibly be the difference between "sold out," "awaiting repress," and "out of stock," all three of which are distinct states of being for most of the records they sell and I kinda want to buy some records, and I can definitely afford to buy some records, but they're expensive enough (and likely enough to become unavailable at any moment) that trying to decide which ones to get when buying a few of them turns into a "which child do I like the most" dilemma, and buying a huge stack of them is right out a lot of the decision pivots on questions like "do i buy something i've never heard before and want to explore, or do i take this not-likely-to-come-again chance to buy a really nice copy of something i've already got a thrift store special of" and I'm only looking at the 30, 40, and 60-dollar records, not even the ridiculous triple-digit stuff trying to stack records up to where it feels like I've gotten a bunch but also haven't spent a truly stupid amount
