I actually tried this the other night, but it was too noisy to hear much. I could make out the first couple sentences...he was talking about how excited he was to speak to them, and how he was wondering if it sounded like he was on the radio. I've got some record cleaning supplies, so I might try them out on the side that doesn't look like it has anything on it to see if I can clean things up some.

Don't put anything containing alcohol on it, it'll gently caress the acetate layer.

Barnes & Noble finally mailed the one record I (the King Crimson album) ordered from them during that sale like 2 months ago, so check your email if you were still waiting on something from them.

I only ordered the King Crimson record too and mine is still "processing" :(

Though I guess I can't talk, I have bought 5 copies of that one King Crimson record.

In my defense, the two US stereo copies were gifts.

Well, you wont get the best sound playing a 78 with a 33/45 stylus, but for something like this that's just voice, it would be enough. If you can play it at 45 and record the file on a computer, audacity has a 45 to 78 conversion script that will let it play at the right speed. Might be a little noisy with the wrong needle but passable.

My friend was given a bunch of old records and in there was an aluminum home recorded 78 with no label. Turns out it was some kind of speech practice with a man reading poetry and talking to the teacher here in there from the 20s or 30s.

I'm told that using a standard 33/45 stylus can damage both the stylus and the disc. For something like this, I don't think it would be worth the risk.

Such a good album. I bought the vinyl version of this back in the day without even owning a turntable just because this album is that good

Heads up: if you were interested in getting the Boards of Canada reissues, the albums are on Insound right now, if you don't want to order from Bleep. I think the 10% off code "springsummer2013" still works right now, too. All their Aphex Twin is on sale as well, and they have the reissue of Selected Ambient Works 85-92 on backorder.

I don't know what the hell's in there, but it's weird and pissed off, whatever it is.
For those with deep pockets and a love for Modest Mouse, here's a copy of "This Is a Long Drive..." for $139, which is actually cheaper than what it has been going for lately.(SOLD)

However, if it sounds anything like "Lonesome Crowded West," it probably isn't a particularly good-sounding record. I can confirm that LCW sounds rather flat and dull (or so I thought last time I played it, which, I'll admit, was some time ago, and on a stereo system that's inferior to what I have now).

As a side note, my mind is boggled that these haven't been repressed yet.

e: The guy also has LCW listed for $139, and it has been going for even more lately(SOLD). Also "Building..." for $119, which is quite reasonable given recent auctions (SOLD). All are 24-hour listings, so maybe he just needs some quick cash(?)

e2: I came close to pouncing on the LCW and trying to flip it for $300, but, eh.

Apparently the masters for LCW were lost, which is why it hasn't happened yet. Isaac has said he plans to reissue it, but no idea when.

I just want to spin that album without paying a ridiculous price. :smith:

I have heard this too, but other trusted things I have read is the needle is just narrower and it rides the bottom of the groove. It won't damage anything but might pick up some of the junk in there.

I probably wouldn't listen to too many soundtracks on vinyl to be honest. I have and enjoy the Rocky Horror Picture Show soundtrack on vinyl, and I think with Halloween coming, that's gonna get some play time soon.

You're probably right. That does sound like a thing I'd say. You know what is an awesome film score that works great as a stand alone album? Halloween III.

Season of the Witch. The original music is great stuff if you're into John Carpenter scores or electronic music played on analog synths.

And I know this is a harder sell, but the movie is kind of cool in its own way. It's by no means a good movie but it has a certain charm and I am very fond of it. I know not everyone will like the movie and I happen to like weird and/or schlocky movies. Regardless the OST is a great piece of art independent of the film.

Electric Bugaloo posted:

Apparently there is for the Master, which is the superior film as far as I'm concerned. Mind you, I'm not putting down There Will Be Blood. I'm saying the Master is that loving good.

If you bump it up to like $180 I'll cancel the auctions and we can do this thing. I'll happily take a bit of a price hit for convenience but I'm pretty sure TDK alone will sell for like $130-150.

In Utero 20th is awesome! Basically the same album remastered by Albini using modern transfer techniques. Best of all, no brickwalling!

The alternate remix is quite nice although you'll need to buy it from either the Deluxe or Super Deluxe versions (disc 2). The Super Deluxe (minus the DVD and liner notes) is also available on HDtracks.

Yeah, if you don't care about the super deluxe booklet and packaging, I recommend the HDtracks version (all 3 discs) for $60 and $20 for the DVD.

I did break down and order the vinyl version too but it doesn't contain the alternate mix, demos, or concert audio.

What the hell is the HDtracks version and what does the vinyl version include? Because I saw a three disc (CD) version at Best Buy today for 25 bucks and it has all the material you listed.
