Peacebone posted:Finally got a bunch of records (most I've listened to but loved too much not to have) We basically agreed it was alright. I'll take the Deerhoof and Washed Out ones if you don't want them. Send them over to brettfrangella AT gmail.com I also can't wait to pick up all 3 of the Grandaddy reissues myself. The first two are two of my favorite albums, and the third is a lot better than it gets credit for.

Thrift store records will always be the domain of Mitch Miller. I usually see at least 5 - 10 records by him at any thrift store. His sing-a-long albums must have been ubiquitous in the 60s. They're EVERYWHERE.

Harry Privates posted:Chicago goons what are some of the best record stores in the Chicago area? Reckless Records is alright. Dave's Records (at 2604 Clark) is the poo poo. Here's an old blog someone wrote about this subject http://dkpresents.wordpress.com/2007/11/07/windy-city-wax-5-great-chicago-record-stores/ It has some pictures of Dave's, which should be enough to make you fall in love.

I need something to clean my records, or am I better off just making some cleaning solution? EDIT: Well I'm poor, so I didn't even own an anti-static brush, so I made picking that up first priority. When I next have money I'll get a cleaning kit. Blast Fantasto fucked around with this message at 02:38 on Aug 23, 2011 |

I got my copy of Head Hunters for $2. It's pristine; I'm convinced the owner of one of the record stores around here is a racist. His bargain stuff is all amazing albums by black artists like that, while every lovely Van Halen compilation is like $18.

CPL593H posted:I always wonder what kind of person can actually afford to spend that kind of money on a record and have no qualms about it. Even if I could piss away that amount on an item like that I wouldn't even consider it because there's so many better ways to spend thousands of dollars. There's a type of hobbyist or collector that's just beyond anything that makes rational sense. You'll always see them at record fairs or comic book conventions. They'll have a massive, 5" binder with just hundreds of pages of stuff to buy in an itemized list. For them, the hobby isn't about finding stuff you like or getting a great deal on a classic. It's about trying to own everything. It's sad :/

There's no shame in Urban Outfitters clearance records. I got Liquid Swords for $10! Same for the newest Of Montreal. Not crazy about the album but the seafoam green color is amazing.

I Might Be Adam posted:I know the mono masters for the earlier albums sound superior but what's the deal for people who are running their turntable through a stereo set up? I know mono means one channel and stereo is 2 for stereo mixes but I guess I was always kind of confused on the matter. If I play a mono copy of Rubber Soul, am I going to get sound out of only one speaker or am I going to get the same sound out of both speakers? I feel dumb even asking this question. You get the same sound out of both speakers.

Reckless Records in the South Loop is my absolute favorite. It's one of the only places I've been where their new and repressed records are competitively priced with Amazon, and they have a great selection.

Ugh, add me to the list of people who got burned by Pop Market. I had a good experience with them in the past, but I just had the thing everyone has been trashing them about happen. I ordered the Raphael Saadiq bundle they had yesterday, it was listed as in stock. They received my order, took payment. Now the order says "Item is temporarily back ordered" How much of a pain in the rear end is it to get a refund from them? That's so sketchy.

I think if he was just like "Here is these records, I have six, $40 each." No one would care. It's the fact that he's auctioning them off one by one to drive the price up. Ugh.

Amazon is great. Every time I've gotten that message the item ended up coming on time or at the most a few days late. I'm sure if you call them and complain they will make it worth your while. Never had a bad customer service experience with them.

eggsovereasy posted:Everyone's always yapping about piles of mint Beatles albums for <$10 and that just isn't happening where I am. A beat to hell stereo Sgt Peppers gets a $25 price tag on it. That said, there are about 500 copies of Rumours for $6 here. I've never looked for The Gambler. Beatles records are always going to be expensive. They sell well to people who have no interest in records otherwise. See also: Pink Floyd.

Waltzed in to RSD late, got some neat things anyway: Jack White & The Bricks - Live 1999 Also includes White Heat DVD. This isn't a record store day release but cool nonetheless.  Steve Earle & The Dukes - Burnin' It Down This is signed & numbered. Numbered to like 1000, but I really like Steve Earle so I don't care how fake rare it is.

Goodbye Horses is one of the best one-and-done songs of all time. Someone sat down and was like "Hey, you know Erasure? What if it was super unsettling." Then proceeded to make that song work.

luncheon meat posted:As bullshit as this may sound I found weed (99% sure) crumbs/stems inside the plastic sleeve on one of my Dad's old Creedence albums. It's possible. I bought my copy of Sgt. Pepper's at a flea market, there were obvious weed stems all on the "crease" of the gatefold. More on the subject, when I bought my initial Prince collection (all the studio albums from "For You" to Sign O the Times, for only $10!), the copy of Prince had a pound of clippings in it. Pictures of Prince, concert listings, reviews of the Purple Rain film. Good stuff.

Crain posted:So I guess this is the thread to ask this. I have a copy of "Sucking in the Seventies" that is labeled "Promotional Not for Sale". Promo copies of basically every album are actually really common. They could have been given to a radio station, club or even record store. The best thing about them is they're often less played than traditional copies (if they belonged to a radio station). Not really worth any extra dough though.
