Jerry Cotton posted:Of course, chocolate records are no innovation but in the past (I forget which decade, I'm guessing 1930's) they used to be covered in tin foil, at least. (I read this in the same book from which I learned there used to be chocolate spoons to make giving medicine to children easier.) You're thinking of the Stollwerck Phonograph from 1903.

Ended up jumping on one last night, grabbed a shure m97xe to go with it. 5 grams on the stylus seems a little ridiculous. I've read of some people having success with dialing it down to 2, but I'd rather have a proper hifi cart anyway.

I have a M97xE on one of my tables and have it ~1.25g. The specs from Shure are 0.75 - 2g: http://www.shure.com/idc/groups/tech_pubs/@global_managed/documents/webcontent/us_pro_m97xe_ug.pdf

The specs from Shure are 0.75 - 2g: I was talking about the cartridge/stylus that comes with the deck, I guess I wasn't particularly clear there. I meant to say that I was buying the m97xe because the stock cart is kind of horrible. From the manual: Audio Technica posted:Cartridge Specifications (ATP-2) I think it's intended for scratching, or possibly for installing it in off-road vehicles.

I've been submitting photos and information for a bunch of singles for Discogs. Somebody out there better appreciate the efforts to have a database that includes Kitty Wells 45s. There is some terrible schlock in the collection. Of what I was given a few years back, one of my uncles had won a radio station contest somewhere for a whole bunch of free records. On the good side, I think it included Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band and a promotional single for The Zombies' Time of the Season. On the bad side ... let's just say it sinks pretty low. How low? This low.  As if the Paul Anka single, (You're) Having My Baby wasn't bad enough, she altered the lyrics a bit and covered it. No wonder I ended up with this.

Is anyone here a Third Man Records Vault Club member? If you are, are you still waiting on the recent package? Because I am and I don't remember it ever taking this long. I'm starting to worry that evil mail goblins snuck into the post office somewhere along the line and ate mine. It figures that this would happen for the package that I consider to be the best yet.

It takes aaagggeeess to add your collection to Discogs, but it is easier than an excel spreadsheet provided they have the records in their database. Even with the entered collection this small, I have a TextEdit list full of others that aren't there yet. The collection so far is very dadrockish because it's the ones I keep at my girlfriends house where I live. Once I go home to tackle the 2000+ collection it will look more impressive. Welp, here's what i've added so far.

In the past they've usually gotten these out sooner. Maybe membership has increased. Do you happend to know where they posted that? I looked in the usual place and it never mentioned anything about this. Harry Privates posted:I got mine last week. The final show LP is amazing! Your in for quite the treat when it arrives. I've been especially excited about this one because I never got to see the White Stripes live. So I've basically been buying every live recording I can get my hands on. But hearing the last ever show will be a special treat. All the live stuff from the Icky Thump tour that I've seen/heard is really good.

right behind it was an immaculate copy of Whipped Cream & Other Delights  I checked everything after I found it - I got a Hugh Masekela album, and the Super Fly soundtrack was there, but it was too beat to buy. Everything else was the usual.

Looks like The Avalances - Since I Left You is getting reissued next year. I'm ecstatic as I don't have the funds to responsibly buy pricey OOP records. Not that $80 or $100 is too extreme, but I've been really close to grabbing that one on ebay and just couldn't bring myself to do it.

Herb Alpert is still releasing albums. His 60's output is all of a similar quality, with possible standouts being The Lonely Bull and the Christmas album. This track from 1979 might sound familiar: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ennMD1fPtXA

Speaking of Whipped Cream... I was working yesterday and started digging in our clearance boxes under the bins, since there are thousands of albums sitting under there than never get any attention. The second album in the first box I looked in was a copy of Whipped Cream, still in it's shrinkwrap. The one edge had been opened, and it looked like it had been played maybe once or twice. Almost no scratches, just a ton of dust. $4! And re: that Avalanches reissue, I think it's only a CD reissue, correct? I got the Modular 2xLP release as a birthday gift last year, and I found out that the person who bought it for me paid $80 for it. It's my favorite album but I still feel guilty.

wait I can't tell if we're joking anymore, Whipped Cream is insanely easy to find. In fact, it would be fun to have a Whipped Cream race to see who can accumulate the most copies of that album in one day.

I've never been somewhere that didn't have it. I was surprised to find that I didn't do I actually bought it. A taste of honey is a cool song. I bought the one with Spanish flea too cuz I love the poo poo outta that song. I almost bought the reel of it once too but I figured that was pointless ha.

Farts Domino posted:My favorite Herb Alpert fact is that he founded A&M records Me too buddy. Alpert & Moss. It's one of the song facts I like to recite every time a HA&TTB song comes on. Much to the dismay of my girlfriend, who has heard every single song fact a million times since for some songs I only have one. Admin Understudy posted:Looks like The Avalances - Since I Left You is getting reissued next year. Is it going to be the crap version with generic samples? The expensive ones are usually the original pressings with samples intact. Farts Domino posted:wait I can't tell if we're joking anymore This. It's like saying "Hay guyz i found the south pacific soundtrack it looked barely played" I bought Herb's entire 60's output in one day for like 5 bucks from 2 charity stores. Also the MFSL pressing of Rise.

In case anyone here is a big a fan of The Protomen (and you should be): Act I will be available on vinyl any minute now. According to the band's newsletter the sale begins at 10am central, so I am just ready to burst from waiting. e: Get 'em while they're hot! Got one for me and one for a friend's birthday gift.

Has anyone purchased any of the Third Man Live series Vinyl? What is the quality like on these? I understand that it's direct to tape. I would like to get the Jacuzzi Boys one but $15 seems a bit expensive for 6 songs or is it double sided.
