madpanda posted:I went to wolfs flea market in palatine and ended up with an entry level technics with a newish audio technica stylus for $50 and a bunch of records for another $30. Overall pretty good day. Haha, that's why I was asking, Wolff's is the poo poo. I go there at least once a month for records. Did you get it from the guy on the far right side, near the wall? I always see a million players there. And the guy is real cool. Wolff's also runs an outdoor market in the lot of the Allstate Arena that's really good if it's nice out.

Is the Carl and the Passions you have one of those mid-70s Beach Boys comps with two albums in one package? Usually a basic white cover with one image on each side. I have Wild Honey and Surf's Up (I think) that way. If they green label Pet Sounds ends up with the worse sound, let me know. I'll buy it off you.

If anyone is a fan of late-period Dylan, the 2 LP + CD version of Tempest is only $13. On amazon lightning deals, for the next 20 minutes.

If I ever met Bob Ezrin, I'd want to ask him about Music from 'The Elder'. Vis a vis the amount of cocaine it took for everyone involved in that album to convince themselves it was a good a idea.

Everyone here who hasn't heard of Quasimoto needs to listen to The Unseen ASAP. Lord Quas is the poo poo. Madlib is a master sampler and one of the most prolific beat makers in hip-hop.

As a former Sears Holdings employee, it looks like this stuff is sold by a different store and fulfilled by Sears. Their website is really poor at differentiating that, to the point where it even says "Sold by: Sears" in the confirmation email. Sears doesn't stock records online or in stores. The dude who signs the "your order is processing" email was my boss' boss' boss.

What's the most reliable website for ordering turntable parts? I recently came in to possession of a Pioneer PL590 (for free), I'm looking to dust it off and restore it. Everything looks to be in decent shape, but I want to replace the needle because it's very old and hasn't been used in awhile. I shouldn't really need to replace the entire cartridge right? I figure I just need - New needle - Preamp and I should be good to go. I haven't fired it up yet, but belt seems to be in good shape as does the arm.

YMMV on this, but the Urban Outfitters by me had a shitload of copies of Ghostface Killah's Twelve Reasons to Die and MCII by Mikal Cronin marked down to $10 on clearance. Woodfield Mall if anyone else is in my part of the world.

Yeah, I was just going to say... anyone who poo poo-talks live albums clearly isn't a soul music fan. James Brown at the Apollo, Sam Cooke at Harlem Square, Bill Withers at Carnegie Hall, Curtis/Live! Soul takes on a whole different sound in the live setting.

Me in Reverse posted:Every album I bought from the last major BestBuy clearance was damaged in some way. Expect disappointment. Make sure to run the prices against Amazon, as well. I thought a lot of things in there were good deals were either the same price on Amazon (who are much more reliable for shipping records) or only a buck or two cheaper.

I don't know why people are always like "Who gives a gently caress about the cover, man? It's all about the MUSIC." Like, it's possible to want to enjoy something for both its functionality and its aesthetics. If I buy a book, it's to read the contents but that doesn't mean I wouldn't prefer a version with a cover that isn't all ripped up and water-damaged too.

Is there anywhere selling RSD releases online, like last year? I drove to the store, saw 50 people in line almost 2 hours before they opened and just turned around to go home.

I went to another store that didn't get any RSD releases and they gave me 40% off a copy of Ahh... the Name is Bootsy Baby, so today is an inarguable success either way.

Jerry Cotton posted:If we stick to moving pictures, Klaus Doldinger and David Rose. Also Ennio Morricone, Goblin, Tangerine Dream. It says a lot that I listened to the score from Sorcerer a while before I actually saw that movie. But like, no one gives a poo poo about John Williams' scores that aren't part of huge, nostalgia-fueled franchises. When was the last time you heard someone go "Wow, John Williams' score to War Horse was really top notch! Can't wait to pick it up on vinyl."

Defleshed posted:I know this is not a popular opinion but I hate My War. I'm a big fan of the Keith Morris/Ron Reyes/Dez Cadena era. But I've always like my punk rock to be punk rock and not faux-intellectual poetry horseshit. I actually like Henry Rollins and what he stands for in the music "industry", but I've never liked any of his creative output. I love the Morris/Cadena stuff too (First Four Years is my favorite album of all time), but I think My War is great. It hits the perfect balance between the early stuff that just rips and the second-side, sludgy stuff. I have an affinity for sludge and doom, so I could see why that second half of My War would turn you off if you didn't.

Wronkos posted:What's the worst store you guys have been to? I remember going to this hole-in-the-wall in San Antonio that left its door open at all times during the summer, so flies were literally escaping from the dusty smooth jazz bins. Shooting Star Records in Carpentersville, Illinois. It wasn't a bad store, but the guy who ran it was the prototypical "lazy record store guy" who didn't realize that yes, owning a record store is like having any other job. You don't get to just hang out and talk about music all day. He was constantly closing the shop for 2+ hours for "lunch". It seemed like the store was closed every single time I stopped by, regardless of it was noon or 3 p.m. I eventually stopped going, and everyone else must have too because they went out of business shortly after.

So yeah, you should probably go to Urban Outfitters. $9.99 a piece: The Shins - Chutes too Narrow Pavement - Slanted and Enchanted Elliott Smith - XO Superchunk - I Hate Music De La Soul - 3 Feet High and Rising YMMV obviously, but the one by me is in a huge and well-trafficked mall; they had a ton left.
