Cemetry Gator posted:Even if with pristine vinyl, this will never sound good. The stereo mix of this album is horrid. Like, basically, some of the songs sound like the entire song is in the right speaker, with just high end and low end but nothing in the mid (it sounds really bizarre), and then vocal overdubs will be in the left speaker with really good fidelity. Yeah. For a record that came out in 1966 on a major label there is no excuse for how crappy it sounds. I actually thought it was a much older recording. In other news the O Brother Where Art Thou soundtrack is under $13 on amazon right now.

JehovahsWetness posted:I used to have a lot more gospel 45s rips up, but these might interest you. I've also got a Mary DeLoach version of Move This Thing that's a different take than the one she released on Artic. Much more stripped down Thorpe style, I'm pretty sure I've ripped it before. I'll see if I can find it. Nice. Thank you. Been entering in the collection in Discogs and I guess I'm about halfway done with the LPs at 650. So far this is the only one I'm having trouble locating.   French pressing of Animal House that I've had sitting around forever.           Been feeling fuzzy lately. I have tickets to King Gizzard next month. Pretty stoked and bonus points the wife digs them too.   Cheap bin stuff.  http://imgur.com/mAKHO91NWS I guess for cartoon dong.

I joined up to get Odelay and it was released as a plain black vinyl everywhere else for about $10 cheaper. You have until April 15th to pull the trigger on it.

 Trying to decide keep it or flip it. Kinda a fun party album to have in my set but on the other hand I'm not at all attached to it and I can buy a bunch of records for what it sells for. Seems weird this isn't getting more of a reissue.

I haven't seen any shifts in sales since it came out. I've got that one and an original pressing and have really thought about a flip because the OP is superior to be honest. no split tracks and it isn't cut so hot. Yeah. They are going for over $100 right now. I was listening to it and decided to keep it but I got one of the defective ones so hopefully I can get it replaced.

Guess I'm on a compilation kick... Got these during one of those overseas Amazon deals. Volume 4 (Green) seems pretty elusive which will probably trigger my OCD for years.  Sorry about the blurry picture but I grabbed these from the Light in the Attic spring sale. Haven't had a chance to listen but I'm sure I'll dig these.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zuxdJNNlKZk Just watched this movie and had to grab the soundtrack. Volume 2 is a little too disco/80's but it $10 for the colored wax version so I snagged it as well. Edit: Got this as packing material and both the album and the cover rule.

I dropped by after work expecting to find nothing but snagged the Girls in the Garage record. I almost picked up The Flower Traveling Band but they wanted $30 and it seems widely available elsewhere. Then I grabbed these. Someone musta found a box of NOS records cause these look totally unplayed.  The Lenny Dee is pretty dope.

Action Serious posted:Well I guess my Vinyl Me Please account auto renewed even though I thought I for sure cancelled it after Demon Days. Now I've got a Fiona Apple record that I couldn't be less interested in on the way. I'm definitely selling mine. Hopefully it will pay for the subscription. I gotta say they have pretty great customer service. My Demon Days was defective and they sent out a new copy ASAP and I get to keep the other. Only skips on one song so I'm gonna give it to my friend who is a big fan.

CPL593H posted:So I checked ebay sold auctions and people have already paid anywhere between 75 and 150 dollars for the Fiona Apple Tidal LP that no one is in possession of and you can still order for the original retail price. Why are people this stupid? It's not like it's hard to just google that poo poo and find it for sale on Vinyl Me, Please. I wonder what happens when someone gets one of the defective copies second hand. Send it back to the flipper who then has to send it back to VMP? It looks like VMP has gotten rid of the single month option maybe some people just want the record without the hassle of joining the club... who am I kidding. People are dumb.

Phearson posted:So my half brother passed away a few years ago, and his mother asked me if I wanted his vinyl collection. I was only recently able to pick it up, and now have the daunting task of cataloging the whole thing (my guess is I've got 2-3k albums). I plan on keeping a small collection of stuff that interests me, and selling off the rest. It might be worth it to get a professional to help you. That is a lot of records to go through and grade.

wa27 posted:Sounds fine to me, but I'm definitely not the best person to ask (because of my non-discerning ear and less than ideal setup). I see a lot of people say their pressings skipped on first playthrough. There's so much deadwax on each disc that I would have expected them to space out the grooves more to avoid that (that's a thing, right?). There's also the issue of no tracks on the labels, and the disc#/side# labeling is stupidly hard to read. Overall it's a pretty bad release in a lot of aspects, though the packaging is nice. It's ART man.

Recieved my new King Gizzard album from goon owned? Needle Juice Records. Vinyl looks cooler than the mock up. I think the cover is kinda ugly but that seems to be the Giz style     This "new" Songs Ohia showed up today as well. Just went with black vinyl on this one.   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qMhLT-Ga71Y This Seu Jorge was supposed to br clear vinyl...which is ok because clear vinyl is a pain in the rear end in dark bar. Pretty crappy pressing with lots of surface noise and some skips, but I still dig it.    Cool retro soundtrack sounding stuff. This was supposed to be smokey red vinyl and it just turned out mostly translucent red with one little black smudge.   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=faMfDgQTXk8 Vinyl Me Please. I keep letting my poo poo expire then they put out something like this. It's a really beautiful package. Foil embossed, thick textured cover, sounds rad.        ... and it wouldn't be complete without the crappy VMP art print  King Sperm is ready to die. sporklift fucked around with this message at 00:18 on Feb 13, 2018 |

 Swapped Arctic Monkeys for the Piero Umiliami. The Coathangers, super vibrant colors, it was supposed to be a different variant but I don't really care what color the wax is.  Little nostalgia bomb...  Birtha has balls. I guess that was their slogan. Anyway pretty awesome 70's hard rock that seems to have slipped through the cracks. My wife did not like Jandek... At all.  Soul of a Bell and Badu are VMP pressings. They do a drat good job on the pressings and the overall package but the price is just a tad too high for me.      Goodie Mob is a pretty awesome package from VMP but those stencils are almost as garbage as the art prints. Might be the last time I sign up with them unless they go back to pressing more hard to find stuff. like this. This month's hip hop selection was Doggystyle which I had just picked up for ten bux. The classics selection is The Lightmen Plus One, which I want, but Now and Again will be releasing it in a couple months. Also. gently caress this poo poo.... https://www.princehitnrun.com/product/5QPR01COMBO/nc2u-picture-disc-vinyl-tshirt-bundle?cp=null

Had to go check my Zep. II is just a regular copy but here's my hot stamper HoH. Do I need to NWS this?https://imgur.com/p1qWfFc  It's totally signed too! Signed by someone... And JehovahsWetness put it pretty well. A lot of those samples could just be one song on an album or even worse just a snippet of a song... I know its probably not "cool" but there are a ton of good Breaks records out there that stand alone as just really good compilation albums. I bought the Blue Break Beats albums https://www.discogs.com/Various-Blue-Break-Beats/release/44125 when amazon was clearing them out. I dig em. Or just buy funk and soul records, they usually have the killer breaks built right in. I think it was a few pages back but to add the the pretty wax discussion The Books, Lemon Of Pink album that VMP put out is really striking. The label and the colored vinyl are just done perfectly in my opinion. I prefer just plain black records but this one is nice to look at.
