I recently stole this from my father, who has a ton of Herb Alpert stuff mint original pressing. That album is great. Are the others just as sublime?

Herb Alpert is still releasing albums. His 60's output is all of a similar quality, with possible standouts being The Lonely Bull and the Christmas album. This track from 1979 might sound familiar:

The entire concept and idea is just sort of beyond me, when I look at a record and the pin on the player and everything it just doesn't make sense. I get that it's all bumps and grooves and vibrations or whatever but seriously wtf.

I know, right? Digital playback is so much more intuitive, what with the lasers and the binary numbers and whatnot.

Pretty sure it's from China. Maybe Taiwan but I'm thinking it's mainland China. The text is all Chinese and the audio sounds pretty much like Chinese to me. I only know Japanese though so I'm not 100% sure.

Why would it be from mainland China and not Taiwan? Mainland China was vehemently opposed to Western culture until recently, whereas Taiwan was the opposite. I would say it's way more likely to be Taiwanese, with a lesser possibility that it's from Hong Kong.

Well, the album I'm looking at is from 84 (Zen Arcade), and it still says no bar code on it. I'm thinking the label (SST) might have been small enough to have not started to follow that trend, would I be right on this assumption?

That LP has always been in print and has never had a bar code.

What do you mean? Are there breaks between the sections on the medley? Because that would be really lame. As far as I know, there is no previous version of the album that does this.

Completely off topic, but does anyone here have experience selling an especially valuable record? I just found out that something I have an extra copy of quadrupled in value since I got it and I'd like to sell it before that bubble bursts. I'm considering ebay, but I'm concerned that A)I might not get the best value I can that way and B) I'm hesitant to do that because I got burned once by a buyer there who claimed they didn't receive the item (ebay sided with them). I'm more concerned about the latter, honestly. I wouldn't be opposed to selling it to a record shop (in fact I'd prefer this) but they barely give you 40% of the total value if you're lucky.

Sell it in a record shop on consignment.

Do it from the beginning.

At this point I have around 1400 records but I don't need alphabetical dividers because I know where every letter is. The only hard part is V/A slash Miscellaneous which takes me about a minute to find a thing.

Yes, lump soundtracks. The good thing about most of that miscellaneous stuff is that you will hardly ever listen to it, so trying to find it is not such an issue.

Lump everything that can be lumped.

Why bother? How much time do you save finding a record by alphabetizing by title or organizing by release date? God save me from anal retentive music fans (assuming that you all are actually music fans, which is not a safe assumption at all).

Yeah why bother with anything, lets just take all our records out of the sleeves and stack them next to the turntable. Who cares since I listen to records I must not like music and just fetishize the experience of listening to records.

I have about thirty John Coltrane records, but my favorite is Ascension, so that one is at the near edge. That's how I organize my records within a single artist.

Hey guys, when you combine being super fussy about organization with being super sensitive to criticism it makes you a gigantic nerd, hth.
