I wasn't paying attention while putting Propaganda back into its jacket, and managed to undo the entire bottom seam. There was no tearing, just 50 year old glue finally giving up.

I need to repair a few others, so are there any recommended glues for record jackets or would any standard paper/cardboard glue be ok?

I was ripping a bunch of songs from my collection recently, using a line in from the preamp's monitor out into my laptop. I could still have the music on my bookshelf speakers to monitor when I needed to begin recording in Audacity (Audacity doesn't pipe through the music unless it's recording) and then mute the speakers after I start recording, since there's a slight delay between the two and it's not pleasant to hear.

As I was going along, ripping songs day after day, I was listening back to a track with a light piano opening, and noticed that there was this faint, ghostly pre-echo about half a second before the playing started. I figured it was always there but I hadn't heard it before. Then I noticed it in another recording. And another. And I figured out that the sound from my speakers was bleeding into the recording in Audacity somehow? I don't understand how, but I started muting my speakers before recording and no more echoes.

Also if you're playing a louder song and don't have your speakers on, and you lean in towards the turntable, you can hear the unamplified music.

It is witchcraft

A lot of that stuff is collecting dust in boomer basements and garages despite that they haven't owned a working turntable since Reagan was in office because they have "sentimental value". But mostly it's just that anything popular or famous gets snatched up fast whether it's in a record store, flea market or thrift store often even when it's completely trashed. Patience is key in this hobby unless you want to pay absurd premiums.

Live at Leeds is an amazing album and not just one of my favorite live albums but one of my favorite albums in general. Especially the expanded edition with the whole show.

Nice, that Dokken album is a real gem. Also one of the best Friday the 13th movies.

Still waiting for two of the three I ordered. Jesus Christ Superstar arrived Monday, no sign yet in Informed Delivery of Who Sell Out or Stage Fright

I don't wanna have to start emailing with the "where's my records at" routine, goddamnit

I held out as long as I could, but these cute little bastards are just too irresistible. Now I can pick up albums over lunch break and annoy my co-workers in the afternoons!

I just walked into my Goodwill and there was an Original Master Recording Dark Side Of The Moon just sitting in front inside of the first record crate.

Might want to check your Walmarts. Mine had an end cap with a good amount of half price vinyl.



Three of these are gifts so you can't judge my taste.
