Found a promotional copy of ELP's Brain Salad Surgery for really cheap and I couldn't resist. This is apparently the original inner sleeve. Yes, I have a crappy camera.

One of my favorite inner sleeves is the one for Yo La Tengo's "I Can Hear the Heart Beating As One" LP, with all the fake Matador bands: Also, that White Noise record is loving great. I didn't know much about it before I got it, but it's kind of blowing my mind. One of the first bands to fuse rock and electronic sounds (it was released in 1969), the a-side is mostly eccentric psych pop, while the b-side is a rather terrifying foray into weird electro-oscillations and blood-curdling screams. Highly recommended if you haven't heard it and it sounds like your "thing."

Picked up a Peggy Lee while crate digging, came home to find my Best Buy sale arrived.  They go pretty well together, I think.

I picked up the new Ty Segall album this week. It's amazing and I got one of the randomly inserted red vinyl ones which is neat.

Crap I haven't opened my copy yet. That's pretty egregious I hope mine is OK.  My Madlib Shades of Blue is fine, at least

Ralf und Florian may very well be my favorite Kraftwerk album, it is some wild synthesizer landscape poo poo. I got mine in Austin as well, a lucky find at a Half-Price Books, about five minutes after the clerk put it on the rack. Turned out the clerk in question (who then ran the register) was originally from Dusseldorf. I need to hit up End of an Ear, I don't actually know what part of town it's in (though google can help with that, obv.)

I need a little help with info on a couple of records I got this weekend. Both of them are early Black Sabbath. One is their first self titled album and the other is Paranoid. The cool thing is they are south korean bootlegs. I can't find very much about them online. I only paid a dollar each.

It's on 1st somewhere, and honestly I felt like it had a better selection than Waterloo. Less records, but better quality.

Considering the last copies have sold for $24.99 + shipping and $36.55 + shipping, I'd say that $20 w/ free shipping is an excellent deal for this copy of Les Savy Fav's "Go Forth" LP. I actually want to buy this one myself, but alas, I've already exceeded my recent record budget.  CPL593H posted:This is a fairly interesting read: That is interesting. Thanks!

CPL593H posted:This is a fairly interesting read: Indeed it is, although it would've been nice for it to explore the boom similarly going on with second-hand shops. I'm genuinely curious how many people are exploring older LPs for the first time or revisiting "classics" on vinyl. While the factories are struggling to maintain demand of new records, there are a growing number of stores that offer tons and tons of existing vinyl, often for dirt cheap prices.

I love Waterloo, but End of an Ear will often have stuff that Waterloo does not, particularly metal and punk rock. Wish I still lived in that area. El Paso has one (ONE!) record store and it is decent but insanely overpriced as most monopolies are. As someone who lived in Chicago prior to living in the Austin area, moving here has been a culture shock to say the least.

Most of the stores here have cottoned on to the fad and are premium pricing everything accordingly. Even goodwill are starting to get cheeky. The ones that have maintained sensible pricing are the independent record stores that never closed from the original reign of vinyl.

A big annual garage sale this weekend had 50+ military marching band type records for 50 cents each. Some standard US stuff but a lot of seemingly obscure UK regiments albums. I usually only buy stuff I want to listen to but was I dumb to pass on those? I had no idea how to value them besides looking them up individually on discogs and I wasn't going to sit there for an hour tapping on my phone.

Does anyone have any recomendations for places to sell vinyl in Austin? I tried Half Price Books, but the offer they gave me was comically awful.

the only way you're going to feel like you extracted value from the sale is to sell them yourself on craigslist, discogs, etc every store ever is going to lowball you because they have to turn around and sell it to some floppy haired freshman and need to make a return

^^ Yerp. My usual advice is to take any records worth above some value you determine as to be worth the packaging and shipping hassle and sell them off set sale / ebay / whatever. Anything else you take to a local shop and take it in the rear end for whatever pennies on the dollar you payed. If you have big pieces and don't want to deal with shipping then talk to your local shop about doing stuff on consignment. (I've bought 45s from Friends of Sound in Austin and they seemed okay, maybe hit them up.) HPB offers are straight up jokes, though. I wouldn't expect a big offer from bin filler LPs, though, wherever you go. B&W jazz arrivals only.

My friend co-owns Breakaway on North Loop, I don't know if I get a better deal since we are friends but he does alright enough that it's not worth my time to sell poo poo online in my opinion.

"The Lonesome Crowded West" is finally getting a re-release! And it's only $22! And the same for "This Is A Long Drive For Someone With Nothing To Think About". http://store.glacialpace.com/collections/new/ They also have a pack which gets you "Sad Sappy Sucker", "The Fruit That Ate Itself" EP, and both of those for $70. This is good news to wake up to, "The Lonesome Crowded West" was one of those albums I've always wanted and never thought I'd have as the original vinyl copies are so expensive. Isaac always talked about doing a reissue but they don't call the label Glacial Pace for nothing. Seems there are also two 7"s with a couple of unreleased tracks from that era too. Happy Modest Mouse news. Edit: now rerelease the Ugly Casanova album Brock. VV Oh yeah $14 is CD, $22 is vinyl, edited to correct that. I'd ordered the bundle so checking the individual prices was an afterthought. shmee fucked around with this message at 03:37 on Sep 4, 2014 |

Looks like the albums are $14 on CD, but $22 on vinyl. Not a horrible price for a nice reissue, though. I loving love both of those first two albums (haven't heard the two others in the bundle), so I'll definitely make sure to preorder them.

Every once in awhile, just for a chuckle I check Discogs for how much Devil Doll vinyl is going for and I laugh and laugh and laugh. If only I had $500 just lying around in little piles.
