 Finding this at the record store two weeks before heading to LA to see 'em live for three nights feels like a good omen. Thanks, record store!

Temple of the Dog vinyl remaster is $17 and change today on Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/Temple-Dog-2-LP/dp/B01KKYZQRC/ Nice to see they're running a sale instead of jacking up the price due to Chris Cornell's recent passing.

My Bloody Valentine are finally reissuing Isn't Anything and Loveless - https://pitchfork.com/news/my-bloody-valentine-announce-isnt-anything-and-loveless-vinyl-reissues/ Glad I never got the courage to bite the bullet on the $200+ bootlegs.

On a whim I decided that I wanted to get a record player, so I got myself an AT-LP3. Unboxed it today and my dad surprised me with his crate of records from when he was a kid, didn't even know he had them! Most super dirty, but I found a clean ELO LP, threw it on with my dad. Very cool experience listening to something with my father that he hadn't heard in 30 years. I also dug out a random LP that I had never head of before and it turned out to be 100% fire (seriously), sounds so nice through my Magni 2 + HD650s. I've ordered a bunch of cleaning supplies, new sleeves and a Vinyl Styl cleaning system.

I was just at my buddy's house and he had about a dozen crates of taters in his garage; it didn't even occur to me to measure them, I might have to procure one or two 3. Is that oboe record the 100% Fire disc? 4. Fantastic photography, thank you for making nice pictures

dorium posted:that shipping tho. $20, gently caress that. I'm guessing that's the flat rate for ROW, because to Australia the cost comes to $150 including shipping for the 2x vinyl + 2x t-shirt bundle, which considering how often we get shafted on shipping is pretty good?

RC and Moon Pie posted:I'll be going to the Tampa Bay area in a couple of weeks for a day. I moved from St. Pete a few years ago but I trust these stores will have things that intrigue you: Bananas Music -- They have a metric fuckton of records across two locations. Their "warehouse" has limited hours but you might find rarer stuff there. Otherwise you can literally spend an entire day perusing their selection at the main store. Seriously I've never encountered a store that just had the sheer quantity that Bananas has. Planet Retro -- More metal/punk sort of stuff, but their selection is decent all around. I'm sure they've got a good selection of prog if that's what you're looking for. Daddy Kool -- More contemporary stuff but it's literally a five minute drive from the above two mentioned stores, so it's still worth checking out while you're hanging out in St. Pete. Sound Exchange is kind of a mixed bag. I've found some random poo poo there for a really good price, but you have to sift through a lot to find it. And as far as overall variety and pricing, you'll probably have better luck at Bananas or Planet Retro. All in all, Tampa Bay (St. Pete side particularly) has some amazing record stores and you should find a lot of what you're looking for and then some. I was completely spoiled the years I lived there, not a lot of towns have a single good record store, let alone three-four.

Also hello thread, it's been a while since I posted anything. I assure you I've been wasting plenty of disposable income on a dead medium, but moving to a new place and putting a lot of record equipment in storage has kind of slowed things down. Here's a random assortment of finds from the last five or six months.  Count Bass D - Too Much Pressure feat. Snoop Dogg Count Bass D is probably one of the most underrated hip hop artists out there. This is a 12-inch single collaboration with another, slightly better known legend.  Psychic Temple - IV I think someone else posted this earlier in the thread. I've been a fan of Chris Schlarb since he did the soundtrack to one of the best things born out of Something Awful, Dropsy.  Rolling Stones - Sticky Fingers Real zipper edition. When I inherited my mother-in-law's record collection after she died, she had the cover of this album, but the record was missing (I hear a lot of records were damaged by the zipper so it was probably thrown out). For  I figured it was worth having a complete copy. J Dilla - Jay Stay Paid The first posthumous album of Dilla's where he had zero involvement in. Unlike most later releases after Dilla's death, this is actually coherent and sounds like a completed album. You can probably thank Pete Rock for that. I think it was in legal limbo for a few years, but as you can see here it's back in print.  The Muppet Show   Raiders of the Lost Ark: The Movie on Record Oh, like you'd pass this up if you saw it while crate digging.  Elvis Costello and The Roots - Wise Up: Thought remixes & reworks Elvis Costello, The Roots, and Blue Note Records. This 10" release speaks to me, man.  Portugal. The Man - Woodstock Surprisingly harder to find than you'd think. I still can't quite wrap my head around Portugal having a "global smash hit" but I recently heard Feel It Still playing over the intercom of PetSmart so v  v DJ Harrison - HazyMoods One of Richmond, Virginia's best and brightest right here. This is his debut release on Stones Throw Records, but you can find a ton of his poo poo on his bandcamp, and it's all excellent (want to start with just one? Get TapeCookies). I don't want to oversell the hype here, but the dude is Dilla-esque in quality and output. His jazz ensemble Butcher Brown is also incredible, but that's for another time.

I am at work and didn't have a chance to take some pictures (and I am a little bitter no one commented on my Parliament/Funkadelic find last week), but I checked out a Dimple Records for the first time to dig through some vinyl and the selection was WAY better than I expected and the prices were pretty much Goodwill-tier. I got records from the following artists for 1.99 and they all seem to be in decent shape: Smoky Robinson Donna Summers The Crusaders Jefferson Airplane Grover Washington And a Jean Michael Jarre Essentials album for 3.99. I will definitely need to check out more of these in the area. They had hundreds of used records there which is a lot more than I was expecting.

I'm looking for a new record player, something decent mid-rangey not too expensive with a plastic dust cover (right now I've a cloth dust cover Stanton one). I've been looking at a Audio-Technica AT-LP120USBHC, but am unsure about how good it is or if there are any better players available in the same price range? Anyone got any ideas? Cheers!

I'm not sure about others in the price range that might be better, but I am super happy with mine. I also have a belt drive audio-technica (LP60) that has worked like a champ for years, so I definitely trust the brand.

The AT LP3 is priced halfway between the two, and has the features of the LP60 I like (automatic start/stop, built-in preamp) with the adjustable tone arm of the 120. I got that one a few months ago to replace my LP60 and absolutely love it.

Holy poo poo at the warehouse. I wish I had a lot more money and I wish I lived closer than 300 miles from St. Petersburg. There was so much stuff I wanted, even with just a handful of prog albums. Ended up with a couple of Beach Boys albums - Love You and Little Deuce Coupe - and King Crimson's In the Wake of Poseidon. They had the only copy of the Beach Boys' Stack o' Tracks I've ever seen on vinyl, but couldn't get myself to pull the trigger.

Figured I would post this here in case anyone was interested. I saw Chromeo post an announcement that they were re-releasing their album "Fancy Footwork" as a 10th anniversary LP. It has a ton of the classic Chromeo tracks, as well as a bunch of remixes on double-white vinyl. It's only $25 + Shipping which I though was pretty reasonable for a double album. Track List: side A Intro Tenderoni Fancy Footwork Bonafied Lovin (Tough Guys) My Girl Is Calling Me (A Liar) Outta Sight side B Opening Up (Ce Soir On Danse) Momma's Boy Call Me Up Waiting 4 U 100% side C Tenderoni (MSTRKRFT Remix) Fancy Footwork (Crookers Remix) I Am Somebody - DJ Mehdi feat. Chromeo Bonafied Lovin (Yuksek Remix) side D Needy Girl (Lifelike Remix) Fancy Footwork (Laidback Luke Remix) Bonafied Lovin (Jori Hulkkonen Remix)

No, I don't think I could pass it up. I didn't even know they did this kind of thing for movies. I know about NFL records were are just sounds of games and those records that are just sounds of car engines, but I don't recall seeing something like this. Does it have isolated tracks of dialogue and sound effects, or are they integrated into the music?

From the back:  Basically it's like turning the movie into a radio drama, with musical interludes, sound effects and dialogue from scenes of the movie, turning it into like a cliff notes summary of the film. I remember seeing a similar record for the original Star Wars a while back, I guess there was a niche audience for these in the 70s and 80s, before the advent of home video.

I have an SNL LP from the first season like that. It’s basically an episode or best-of in audio form.  No musical guests, ironically. (This copy is a repress from the late 80s. The original issue from ‘76 has a purple title.)

I have a copy of Loveless of questionable provenance (I think it's one of the Plain recordings that Kevin Shields hates) so I might have to pick up that as well as Isn't Anything. $20 shipping is kind of a drag. Nothing seems to indicate this won't make it to record stores, might just wait for that.
