If you're spending 50cents on inners go mofi, outers I don't care as much about as long as they don't have a stupid flap or any glue and fits fat rdouble lps or gatefolds. I buy them from a record store.
Got a sweet cassette score yesterday, 3 for a buck

I let out an audible gasp when I saw that tape, I don't think I'm going to give it away but what about a new av of whatever artwork you like best?

my record store has been killing it on the used stuff lately, here's a few mono OG pressings I got recently. Peter Dunton signed the T2 album "it'll all work out in boomland"

I have that fall album on vinyl, but I like that artwork on the cassette. I don't know if there was an insert with that art work when it was originally released but my copy just has the first picture as the cover.

It finally came! After months of waiting, 3 weeks shipping from England, a little dinged up and with a torn inner sleeve. But it made it! Limited Green vinyl signed by all 4 members and hand numbered to 500.











The CD is going to my brother for his birthday. Drummer quit the band before that one could be signed.

Sammy Davis Jr. Jr. is also in repose.
Got a little haul this week. Went to see a show yesterday, picked up some stuff.

Falls of Rauros - Believe in No Coming Shore. These dudes were the headliners. Kind of like Agalloch, with a bit more heavier vocals.



Fancy vinyl.


Serial Hawk - Buried in the Gray. Hadn't really listened to these guys until last night. They put on a heavy as hell live show, shove their cabs up as close as they can while still having room to play. Drummer beats the skins to death. You can feel it all in your chest.



Also got their Lying in Wait 7".


Acid Witch - Witchtanic Hellucinations. Got this in the mail. Acid Witch is great. Perfect Halloween metal.



The fold.


Cool vinyl.


Came with a poster of the album art. Also has this neat die-cut paper Halloween decoration.


Phantasm score. Say what you will about Mondo, but they do put out nice releases. The score is suitably creepy, but I forgot how funky it could be. Need to see it again, obviously.



The gatefold image is great.


Liner notes from Don Coscarelli.


Through the portal!


Label on the reverse is a death sphere, of course.


Absurd score. Death Waltz's latest. The guts are embossed.



The fold.


Bloody and smokey.



Comes with this lobby card.

Some dude down the street was having a garage sale and I believe may have lost his mind, or his hearing.

Thanks. This is my only autographed record:

That's pretty awesome.

Recently found an album I'd kill to have on vinyl but it wasn't produced. Wish I could make a cheap bootleg of it. Speaking of bootlegs, the Frank Ocean - Nostalgia, Ultra bootleg is pretty terrible but better than nothing I guess at $15.

For anyone that cares-- Nils Landgren & Esbjorn Svensson - Swedish Folk Modern

Yup. I have no functional desire to buy vinyl for the "sound quality" though I'd argue that is a side benefit albeit probably not that great with my current mediocre set-up.

1) It stops me from my horrid music ADHD that I have on Spotify.
2) Makes listening to music a purposeful task as opposed to turning something on in background without thought (which I do with a lot of mixes and it's fine, but doing something with intention is good too).
3) I like the album art.
4) Pleasure in collecting something.

BigFactory posted:

I wish I had a nicer copy of Nostalgia, Ultra but it doesn't exist on vinyl outside of the shoddy bootleg and likely will never due to Eagles having a conniption with American Wedding track. I wish I had even a bootleg of the jazz album I listed because I like it enough to want to add it to my vinyl collection.

Don't CDs fill 3.5 of your 4 point checklist? I understand collecting bootlegs of hard to find stuff, or even collecting bootlegs because they're bootlegs and interesting by themselves, but for something that's readily available on CD I'm scratching my head.

I mean outside of a handful of releases or remixes (and even now that's questionable due to everything being released for DL on Soundcloud), what other purpose is there to collect vinyl?

It's a really nice release. The sound quality is great, of course. Between the two scores I got, Phantasm is the better one. Absurd is pretty good, but Phantasm is a much more interesting collection of music to me.

Any Chicagoans with recommendations for the best place to run into early noise/avant/industrial stuff? Looking for like Whitehouse, Nurse With Wound, Current 93... did the Lincoln Park circuit today and hit Reckless, Gramaphone, and Dave's with little luck (one beat up reissue of "Birthdeath Experience" that I chose not to pay $35 for).
