Harry Privates posted:Death From Above 1979's You're a Woman I'm a Machine is being repressed on pink vinyl for record store day. Only 1000 copies in Canada only. The label will be putting some on their website. I literally left Canada two days ago. A week out from RSD. And now I'm in Australia. A place where my favourite band probably won't ship poo poo to. gently caress

Finally grabbed a copy of DFA1979's RSD reissue for less than $80 (although it's around $80 after shipping to Australia, I guess but still) as well as Andrew WK's "I Get Wet" reissue. Have also been able to find a few of the DFA1979 7"s on Ebay, and considering they're my favourite band I'm justifying the cost to myself easily. Next will be getting all the LCD Soundsystem stuff I can get my hands on.

Reddit alerted me to the fact that Hot Topic have a 50% off deal, using these codes: $15 off $30: AK74RQS5 $30 off $60: Bt16fjx8 $45 off $90: ??? $60 off $120: ??? $75 off $150: EC35UKD9 http://www.hottopic.com/hottopic/Music/Vinyl.jsp Grabbed Bloc Party, Foo Fighters, The Smashing Pumpkins and At The Drive-In, and some various 7"s and it covered the cost of shipping; still about half the price of what it cost to buy them locally.

david puddy posted:This is how us Australians experience record buying every time. I just paid $43 for shipping on one thing, pictures to come when it arrives I guess (it is heavy though). I'd guess I usually pay $15-20 for shipping on one record, aside from the likes of Amazon and a few big eBay sellers that probably have deals worked out with the post services. I've bought quite a bit from eBay the last couple of weeks and one big huge massive order from Hot Topic (because of that 50% off thing and terrible local prices on those releases) and the most I've paid for shipping was $23 for 5xLPs and 2x7"s. Then today I bought Trash Talk's new album for $15 and postage was $20  Finally got a decent record player today, an old school Hitachi with a Shure cartridge. Turns out the spike on the platter is too big for my Dinosaur Jr. Bug - Live at the 9:30 12". Don't want to push it down because the record is pretty limited and the jewel of my collection at this point (at least until my DFA1979 RSD release comes because that is gonna make me drool). Anything I can do? Also, I'm running the turntable direction into my Logitech Z5500's at the moment through the stereo cables from the turntable, but there's a green wire as well; I assume that plugs into amps to ground it?

Don't have a proper amp+speaker set up yet (that's what I'm saving for now, after I build my display cabinet over the coming weeks), so I've just got the stereo output plugging straight into the Z5500 controller - http://www.amazon.com/Logitech-THX-Certified-Digital-Surround-Speaker/dp/B0002WPSBC

So, my DFA1979 record came today...and it was the black repress that's still available for $18 though the labels website. The seller on discogs had put it up under the wrong listing; managed to get a partial refund and keep the record, but holy gently caress I was pissed off at first.

Man, I'm so happy. I finally found a copy of DFA1979's Heads Up EP on Discogs. Now I've only got some 7"s and the pink repress of You're A Woman, I'm A Machine to go and I'm set. Favourite band vinyl collections get expensive

LooksLikeABabyRat posted:How much did you spend on the ep? $120 including shipping. DFA are really the only band that I'm willing to spend that much on records for (and probably will have to shell out for that much again for the pink reissue of the album). It's only a black copy, and not a clear one; only 200 were pressed of the clear version, 800 of the black version. If the opportunity was to present itself for a clear version though, I'd probably fork out for it again.

Harry Privates posted:My friend found a copy used at a record store in Minnesota for $10. He bought it and sold it for $40. Super dumb move I thought. I doubt I'd ever be able to find a copy locally however (being in Australia kind of sucks balls for this sorta stuff; it's only after their reunion at Coachella and appearance at a festival over here that the CD has been stocked as more than "special order" at retail stores) and I'd come to terms when I decided to get the entire available discography on vinyl that I'd pay a fair amount for it.

Printed out on Melbourne and mainly focussing on stuff out of there, it comes with a 7" every issue. This month it's Dinosaur Jr. and The Jim Jones Revue, but it's had poo poo like Mark of Cain, Opeth, Children Collide, Jackson Firebird and a pretty big variety of others. It's a great mag as well.

david puddy posted:Yeah I usually stop in at a record store on my way home from uni tutoring once a week but I have basically no money and I am saving to go to the US next year, so I can't just drop $100 on impulse buys anymore. I will just save it for record store hopping around the states I'm doing the same thing, heading over to SXSW for the third year in a row; however, my girlfriends going ahead and meeting me in LA on her way back/my way through, so I can send her home with a carry-on bag of records from Amoeba  Just found a decentish Marantz amp and some speakers that are probably better than the ones I have now on eBay for $65 total, super close to me for pick up as well. Right now my turntable is only going through my Logitech Z5500 mini-amp and speakers, so it'll be nice to get something better. At least, until I can save up and splurge on a decent new amp+speakers. PS, if you like Bleeding Knees Club they've just released a 7" limited to 50 editions earlier today: http://velvetdrag.bigcartel.com/product/limited-edition-have-fun-bad-guys-7-only-50

If you've got a plywood supplier you can get a sheet cut so all you have to do is paint + screw it together for about $280 or so; over the past fortnight I've been spending weekend measuring and cutting and it's cost me about $105 total ($90 for the ply, $6 for paint and the rest on screws and brackets, and borrowing friends/parents hardware) and it'll hopefully be done this weekend; it's only sanding and painting from here out.

Going to my first record fair on Sunday to suss things out. Finally got a full set up now as well; a second hand RS33 JVC amp and Beovox 3702 speakers from eBay for $55. The Beovox only have two original speakers on each box, but still sound pretty great.

I'll probably end up looking on eBay in four months and getting most stuff people are trying to flip for close to retail price anyhoo. The only real thing that I want is that Reservoir Dogs soundtrack and Sigur Ros...and they're from last year, but for some reason Australia's only getting it this year?

Has anyone else noticed that Outer Battery vinyl is very...fragrant? I've had the Dinosaur Jr Bug Live At 9:30 Club and thought it might have just been the screenprinted cover, but I just grabbed the Off! Live at 9:30 Club and it's the same kinda deal. As far as I know it's not a screenprinted cover either. Both are coloured vinyl, but I've not noticed any of my other vinyl smelling the same. It's a pretty oily, just-printed kinda smell. Not bad, but it's kinda like "whoa"
