Sounds like a cool plan. Buy the leftover stock (that's been well picked over) from a closed down record store then use the lucky dip method to sell it. It's the #vibe!

Remember that dumb VNYL thing from a little while back? A subscription service where you paid $24 for a few dollar bin records? They apparently used the money from their Kickstarter to open a record store. Here is some video footage someone took. It's easily the most embarrassing record store I have ever seen.

I'm just weirded out by the amount of empty space in there.

that's cool as gently caress

as if you all don't have splatter records in every color of the rainbow

edit: like ^^ that dude clearly knows what's up. he even hung up vinyl for his wallpaper and used it for his floors

Yeah, I was thinking it would be great for those crazy splatter and mix-colour records.

Had a nice pickup at my local today. Cadallaca were a short lived band featuring Corin Tucker who released this single LP in 1998. It was a nice surprise to come across a copy.

New Deafheaven album is up for pre-order. US versions here and EU versions here

I ordered the pink EU version as it looks the nicest, and shipping is way cheaper to Australia from the EU than US.

Merge are reissuing The Magnetic Fields - 69 Love Songs. First 1,000 on colour vinyl. This is one of my favourite albums so I had to take the plunge, even though it's pricey.

Any Australians in here? Where do you guys buy your records online?

I miss when in 2011-13 the AUD/USD was not 0.7 and you could buy whatever you wanted from the US but now it's all buggered and buying anything internationally is terrible, particularly with the international shipping rates record retailers charge.

Check out this ebay seller: http://stores.ebay.com.au/importcdsau15/

They have a huge range, prices are often cheaper than in store, and the shipping is free.

Those golden days when the dollar was at parity and before the USPS massively increased international shipping were awesome.

What I like about ELO, apart from being a great band, is that their records are abundantly available in any used record shop, usually quite cheap. That looks like a nice copy of Out of the Blue though

so, i'm curious: what's the least convenient record y'all have ever bought? i just got the Snails' Worth the Wait EP, which is very good and has some beautiful art, but is also 5 very short songs split across two 7"s

it got me wondering if any band has ever just released a long album across a ton of 7"s or something equally annoying

Perfect Teeth by Unrest is a great record that is split across 6 7"s.

Rancid released this ridiculous thing: https://www.discogs.com/Rancid-The-Essentials-20th-Anniversary-Edition/release/4364742

It's their discography across 46 7"s.

the original release of f#a# was numbered but they basically look the same. i have never seen one with 97-98 on the cover though

this was my first rsd since 2013 and i got what i wanted

My store got a ton of stuff in, but not that Mew album :mad:

I also missed out on the John Grant - Queen of Denmark as they only got one copy (but something like a dozen copies of a Florence and the Machine 12" lmao)

I ended up buying Superchunk - Tossing Seeds, Metz/Mission of Burma split, that Run the Jewels VR viewer, and the new Drones album, though not an RSD item, it just kicks arse

Whenever an iconic artist dies people go crazy for their albums. It will go back to normal soon enough. I got all my 80s Prince albums cheap

I just looked over the Record Store Day list again for tomorrow and good lord that really is the worst selection I've seen for a RSD yet. It says a lot when the only things that remotely interest you are a single of Toto's Africa that is in the shape of Africa, and some 1970s Japanese erotic jazz porn thing.

I'll still go because I haven't done any crate digging in a while but... yeesh.

(although if you still need Arthur Verocai's self-titled album in your collection, jump on that poo poo if you see it. Just trust me on this)

I bought the Africa pic disc. No regrets

I only bought one other thing, this year's list was dire

The Titus Andronicus album The Most Lamentable Tragedy comes with instructions on how to play it. It's a triple LP, with one of the records plays at 45, the other two at 33.

From the discogs page: Play order: LP1, Side One / LP1, Side Two / LP2, Side Three / LP3, Side Four / LP2, Side Five / LP3, Side Six

This is super good, hadn't heard of them before. Thanks!

e: less than 10 left if anyone else is on the fence

You really should check out The Drones, Gareth Liddiard's other band. Their last album was great (well, they all are)

Is that Daft Punk record hard to find or something? 27,000 people own it on discogs. I'm thinking of getting rid of my copy, as even though it's possibly the best sounding record I own, I never listen to it

Was curious if anyone else has an instagram where they post their vinyl hauls or special grabs? Let me know your handle and I'll follow you, mine is @hundredacrerecords. I post a lot of hip-hop, but definitely mix it up with soundtracks, funk, soul, and jazz as well.

This is like from a week ago but I added you as @somerecordsihave anyone can feel free to add me if they like looking at pics of records
