I don't mind that much and don't care about resell value because I don't intend to sell any of my collection unless I somehow get really poor. Probably half my LPs have some sort of bent corner or minor cosmetic issue (most came that way from the shop because I bought them anyway). I'd still rather they wouldn't, that's all vv

CPL593H posted:I'm not trying to be dickish, but why do so many people freak out about this kind of thing? I'd say more than half the time, the albums I buy/see in stores have some minor imperfection on the cover. As long as the disc is fine and the cover isn't completely destroyed I don't see what the issue is. For me, when it comes to buying stuff online (in general, not just vinyl), you expect something that's not poopy when you pay decent money for it. When you pay $30 for a Blu-Ray on Amazon, and it arrives with a dented slipcover or cracked case, you wonder if they threw it into the box overhand, and debate if it's worth returning your damaged product that, yes, probably still works. I work for my money, I'd rather not accept items at 75% value when I pay 100% of the price.

If I was buying a new record I would expect it to be and arrive in as new condition. Buying anything second hand and not in person is a crapshoot.

Here's something cool I just got: The flexibook release of Deerhoof's (really loving great) Breakup Song. It's six one-sided flexidiscs bound together, with the album and a bonus track. I guess since I was one of the first 50 orders, my copy came signed by the band.

Here's how it works: http://www.joyfulnoiserecordings.com/catalog/jnr102 I kind of assumed no one would actually want to listen to the album via a bunch of flexis, and would own another copy of it somewhere else for actual listening, with the flexi book as a kind of "Check it out" type thing. It's a cool concept, but it seems not very functional. Plus, flexis don't really sound that hot. It is really cool, though, and awesome that it was signed.

It's a cool concept, but it seems not very functional. Plus, flexis don't really sound that hot. I've got the normal white vinyl release of the album, and will just listen to that. I listened to one of the flexis (the one with the bonus track, which I don't think is on any other release of the album?), and it actually didn't sound that bad. I hope you guys get yours before you go see them. I'm seeing them at the beginning of November and can't wait. I've been wanting to see them live for years, but they never play Florida. By the way, if any of you haven't heard it, the band put the full album on YouTube. Surfingelectrode fucked around with this message at 20:52 on Sep 26, 2012 |

For those that have yet to see it and are interested, Outer Isolation is finally coming out on vinyl on Dec. 12th. They've got new album art for it. I'm not sure if I like it as much as the original art, but it's still petty cool and little more in keeping with the style of Black Future's art. http://earache.tumblr.com/post/32325471686/vektors-stunning-outer-isolation-album-coming-on

I get that it's mainly an art piece, but that's even cooler that it's playable without destroying the book. Didn't realise it was spiral bound. I'll check out that album when I get home.

Cemetry Gator posted:Oh nothing bugs me more when people say "This brand new record I got has a skip in it!" That's life. The last record I got with a skip in it was Best Coast's "The Only Place," but fortunately, that was in between the tracks, so it became like a 3rd side! I know this is from the last page, but I have to agree with the other person in this case. Skipping is not a cute by-product of the analog age, it is totally unacceptable for a brand new record to do this. The product is either defective, the turntable is not properly aligned, or it is a terrible cheap piece of poo poo. I have thousands of records from the entire history of the LP as a format. I could count the ones that skip on both hands. It's usually literally sand in the groove, working the needle back through the area has always fixed it for me. Even discs that have deep gouges that look like they almost make it through to the other side will play through. And this is with an m97 within the recommended force range.

cheapandugly posted:Do you have some sort of source for reissues being a thing? That would make me so ridiculously happy. The source is now a dead link, but all the music was left over to Ian Johnstone, Jhonn's partner and a good friend of Sleazy, after Jhonn died. Chris Carter is also supposedly going to have a hand in this, but I'm not sure. Nothing is written in stone yet, but reissues have been talked about.

Yeah, the rumor that I had heard was that Chris Carter was given everything. I'm sure thought that if some of the super early material such as the Sickness of Snakes stuff is being rereleased something might be on the way. Of course the thing to do is probably just keep an eye on Soleilmoon, since they received a ton of CD material immediately after Sleazy died.

answersyouseek posted:I'm heading up to Rhode Island next week are there any decent record stores in Newport that you know of? Hopefully I can stop by the shops in Providence as well. I haven't been in it, but the only place I know of is the Music Box near the Brick Alley Pub. The Google reviews aren't too good but it might be worth checking out anyway. Also, I live right off Broadway but haven't heard of Analog Underground. The name alone intrigues me though

Well since it's a Boyd Rice collaboration I'm not sure if the bells are ringing already, he's been doing a lot of stuff lately. Still, not impossible. His new album can be ordered at http://www.normanrecords.com/. 180g White vinyl, and a pretty good deal as well. By the way, The Seer finally arrived in the mail and it is beautiful.

I got referred here from the Turntable / Vintage Stereo thread. I'm planning on selling my Rega P2 turntable and I don't think I'd have much luck in SA-MART due to it being a pretty niche item. Would any of you vinylgoons be interested in purchasing it? If so, I will post or PM lots of pictures and details about it

One of my managers at work told me about how no one is really sure who owns the rights to Coil's material, which is why no one is sure if its going to get reissued. And why all the back catalog is so drat expensive

I'm getting it mostly for that. I'm having difficulty confirming that the second LP will have the bonus tracks, but everything seems to indicate it. It's not like the album needs 2LPs. And it says 'Never before released on vinyl' at Interlude so, I'm pretty drat certain. They could've worded it more clearly though.
