Nightmare Cinema posted:I have a bad premonition that Phil Collins is gonna die very soon, so I'm swooping up as many Genesis albums as I can before he croaks and the price for everything skyrockets. I did that with Tim Curry's albums after I saw a photo of him from this past October. I was kinda half looking for them when I went to the used record shops so I could have the thrill of the hunt, so to speak. But after that photo I hit up Discogs for the two I needed.

Boinks posted:Holy crap, I think I just found someone's holy grail records just sitting in the bin of usual stuff at Goodwill. Wow, that's one hell of a find! I am legit jealous. I've pretty much given up on ever owning those two albums on vinyl.

She's gotta get herself fans like BTS has who will buy multiple copies of an album just to keep it in the charts.

sporklift posted:It was probably pressed in the thousands and being one of Bowie's least popular eras it didnt move as well as the other earlier sets. All my stuff has shipped so i shall report back when they show up. If we're going by that then they'll be giving away Tin Machine boxed sets. Real talk tho I haven't got my shipping notification yet, but my sale was #420 and if they sold 538 as someone else noted, I'm guessing they have their hands full processing orders at the moment.

hexwren posted:for me, this bowie box is actually stuff I like and will listen to, along with stuff I would like to hear that I haven't gotten a chance to yet. Buddha was music he did for a TV adaptation of the novel. It was long out of print until recently. The BBC session is amazing and was previously only available in a condensed version on a special edition box set of his early 70s BBC recordings. It rocked even in the condensed version and I can't wait to hear the full concert.

Got my Bowie box set today and the box had the corner bashed in something fierce. Thankfully the packed it with the foam supports and the box set itself was unscathed. I'm still in disbelief about the deal I got on this thing. Now after all these years I have a completed Bowie studio album collection (over both CD and vinyl) as Buddha was the only one I was never able to get.

I have over 300 according to my Discogs list and I'm quickly running out of space. It doesn't help I'm a TMR Vault subscriber and those sets on average take up a lot of space. If I mooved those I'd have much more space in my current setup.

So I missed the fact that the Violent Femmes RSD offering is a picture disc, so that's a big no go and I'll just pick up the regular version of that album sometime down the road. Now that just leaves the Dismemberment Plan release this Saturday. Otherwise I'm good since the Sparks offerings are just "RSD first" releases.

BigFactory posted:I got the bowie box in. It’s really heavy. But pretty nicely done. I had forgotten how terrible the album art is for the BBC sessions. Now it’s even bigger! Yeah, it uses, like, five or six fonts and has a LOT going on everywhere else. HOURS is really poorly designed too. At least the music is good. The version of Cracked Actor on that album is amazing with Earl Slick's perfectly raunchy guitar tone. Shiftypenguin fucked around with this message at 02:03 on Apr 22, 2023 |

I was able to grab a copy of the Dismemberment Plan's RSD offering just now off Discogs for retail price, so I no longer have to deal with the crowds tomorrow. I feel the $6 extra I had to pay to have it shipped is worth it.

I did the waiting in line thing for RSD once and that was enough for me. I didn't like the mad rush into the store and the craziness of people ripping stuff off the shelves right before others took it. Not my scene. Honestly I don't see a point to RSD anymore as vinyl/record stores have made a real comeback as the day intended and now it's just a collection of artificially scarce albums and stress.BigFactory posted:It looks like album art I would have made for a cd-r bootleg. At least hours was intended to have the funny cd case that made the picture change. Both good albums though. Y2K bowie ftw. Oh yeah! I'd forgotten about the old Hours packaging. I don't think it's been used since the initial release. But yeah, the cover art is directly inverse to the music quality there. The 2000 BBC concert is still my favorite live album of his and having the full show now makes me incredibly happy. Shiftypenguin fucked around with this message at 14:46 on Apr 22, 2023 |

The Sparks album rereleases were "RSD first" so they'll be widely available soon enough. While the first two albums are nice, I wish they'd do a standard rerelease of Angst in My Pants already.

CPL593H posted: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. My father-in-law is like that. He's got a ton of records in the basement in storage. I asked if I could borrow them on a semi-perminant basis since I'd listen to them and keep them safe. I was told no because "he still listens to them." He most definitely does not and his record player has been unplugged with stuff piled on top of it for at least 12 years.

JAMOOOL posted:was gonna wait to get a copy before I heard it (outside of the advance singles, which rule) and it turns out my local shop won't stock it because they'd have to charge $40 for it? even looking online, you can't find it for less than $35 + shipping, and it's only a single LP. I wonder what's going on there, I know records have gotten expensive lately but even still new LPs generally sit in the $25-30 range, 35-40 if it's a double. That's what has prevented me from buying it too. That's bonkers for a single LP. I paid $25 for the variant edition of their previous album. I'm guessing them being back on Island has something to do with the price jump.

Good Soldier Svejk posted:Record printing mishaps are always fun. Thanks to that I have 2 different shades of purple copies of Cracker Island for the price of 1 That happened with They Might Be Giants and their My Murdered Remains vinyl. They accidentally printed a side from one of their other albums on side B, so they sent everyone who ordered the vinyl MMR a corrected copy free of charge. I got the email then all of a sudden the replacement record arrived a few days later. Shiftypenguin fucked around with this message at 17:34 on Jun 29, 2023 |

Cemetry Gator posted:https://www.davidbowie.com/blog/2024/1/7/waiting-in-the-sky-vinyl-lp-for-rsd-2024 Yeah, that... seems pointless. I'd rather have a nice vinyl version of the anniversary edition they released a few years ago with all those other songs on a second LP. They're quite decent for B-sides, but there's no need for an off-the-cuff 'alternate" Ziggy album.

Ballz posted:Completely skipped this RSD. I didn’t see anything that stood out as must-owns and it seems more and more RSD releases don’t quickly sell out and can be found for like, half the price a month or so later on discogs. I stopped going in person because I'd rather get a decent night's sleep versus getting up rear end early and standing in line for hours, only to not get the releases I wanted because the store only got one copy and it sold out before I even get inside the door. Nowadays I'm firmly subscribed to the "wait for discogs" method of RSD buying.
