This happens to me at my local GCF Donation thrift store. Vinyl is $1 flat rate regardless. 99% of the time it's just absolute junk there, but occasionally there will be absolute gems, and I just slowly pick it up and walk to the register acting like I'm helping them out by taking this junk off their hands.

edit: Here's every record I own. Feel free to nitpick.

Bah, I have the ORIGINAL issue, with a gold emboss on the back telling me "FOR PROMOTION ONLY. OWNERSHIP BY CBS. Sale is Unlawful" because Wendy Carlos is loving awesome


Plus the original cover is better than just an image of the poster for the movie.


I also found a good copy of Switched on Bach at a thrift store. Original issue too, with "Bach" sitting down.

This guy is in the process of listing some cheap records, e.g., a couple King Crimson records ("In the Court of..." and "In the Wake of Poseidon) for $6 each w/ free shipping. Not bad!

Got my copy of Lost Themes in the mail today! This is the first LP I've ever bought that was made after 1989 and I can't wait to listen to it.

Came with a code to download the MP3s too so that was nice.

Check out what arrived today!








Transylvanian Flashback Black & White Swirl limited to 500 copies.

From the same goon label that put out the Martin soundtrack featured on the last page. No release date, but I'd expect it to come out around the same time as the blu-ray restoration.

Edit: Torgo's theme is a locked groove.

Is Mother 2 a straight game OST or will it be an arranged album like Mother 1 is?


Got mine too, it looks loving awesome.

It is legitimately the weakest Daft Punk album.

Are we going to get first dibs on the Mother pre-orders?

If you want to go for something a little more palatable, Demons Dance Alone is an easily digestible, haunting album the band recorded right after 9/11. It's an easy listening and probably the highlight of their current (?) state. It's my go-to for a suggestion for their more pleasant side.

My favorite Residents album is also the most impenetrable: Not Available. It sounds utterly alien, I can't even imagine in my head it being recorded in a studio by a group of human beings. It took their Theory of Obscurity (an Artist's best work being produced in total seclusion without any sort of influence from the outside world, especially any sort of audience) and took it to the most logical conclusion (recording an album and locking it in a vault, deciding never to release it until they had forgotten about it entirely).

I can go super-autist-goon on some Residents, but those two are good intros to both sides of the band.

EDIT: keep away from the late '80s/Early '90s material for the most part. It's all chintzy MIDI garbage and pretty indefensible.

Here's a cool record I just bought -- a local jazz trio did covers of some Black Sabbath and Nirvana songs, and a local brewery published the record for them.

Bonus MP3 download for whoever.

Good news for anyone who thought that Mike Lorenz record was limited to 50 copies, wanted one, and didn't buy it. It's actually a 250-copy run, and they just didn't mention that the 'limited to 50' copies were pre-release orders. Crushing news for anyone who bought it based on the rarity, I'm sure.

Aside from junk like the Home Alone soundtrack they have put out some good poo poo like the Halloween score. That said, I still wish they hadn't acquired Death Waltz.

Honestly with the source they used for that album, it wouldn't matter much. And that reminds me: There's some Amazon sellers selling Miracle Witness Hour for $25 in the US now, so I might finally pick it up. Unfortunately none of them specify which color pressing they have.

Did anyone here pick up the EZ Listening re-release?

caligulamprey posted:

Limited edition pressing of 100 for the US tour out of 500 in total.

Last night's show was a goddamned massacre, it was so good.

caligulamprey posted:

I find their album with Renaldo and the Loaf (Title in Limbo) to be a really good entry point, which is odd because the album doesn't sound like either The Residents or Renaldo and the Loaf, not too overboard when it comes to the weird.

Demons Dance Alone is their sweetest, most sincere, melancholy album they recorded, like, two weeks after 9/11 when they we on tour.

Not Available is my favorite album of all time, not just my favorite Residents album. It's otherworldly to the point that I can't imagine it being recorded by 4 human beings in a studio on the planet Earth. It was recorded and locked in a vault, the band deciding it would never be released until they forgot of its existence. It's intense, the production is primordial and thickly textured, but Not Available is the deep end of the pool. The stand-outs on the tour were definitely the Not Availavle excerpts.

Goddamn, I'm 100% sure I've gone on these tangents in this thread before and have probably said the exact same loving things. Oops.

wa27 posted:

So it turns out Devo's Miracle Witness Hour got repressed some time back and now you can get it shipped to the US for $27, which is far better than the $50 or whatever it cost originally. Also, they repressed it in a better color than the original options (I think some of those colors are still available though):



I believe I expressed my disappointment with this release when it was announced, but I've since changed my mind. If you're going to edit that show down to 2 sides, they did pretty well with track selection and arrangement. And the remastered recording does sound a bit cleaner than the old bootleg that's circulating. Side 2 in particular is just a great sequence of rarely heard live songs and great/weird versions of familiar tracks. It's still amazing to me that these early live shows keep getting officially released in any form.

I was bummed about Nutty Buddy and Space Junk being excluded, but I just went back and listened to them and there's noticeable dips in quality during those songs, so that explains why they aren't on there.

Here is a digital code if anyone wants it:

I was excited to see this news that more Pink Floyd reissues are coming soon, but then saddened to see they're using the inferior stereo mix of Piper at the Gates of Dawn instead of the superior mono mix. It was released on CD as both mono/stereo in 2007 and in 1997 a deluxe mono reissue came out, but that's currently $90+ on discogs. Original mono releases are much more unreasonably priced. Waah~

There's still quite a few unreleased demo reels out there - probably enough for a Hardcore Vol. 3 if they wanted to do that.

Personally I'd like to hear whatever live tapes they might have from the 70s, but I'm starting to question how many of those even exist. The recent releases have just been recordings that are already circulating (Seattle 1981 was new... I think?) A vinyl version of Live: The Mongoloid Years would be nice, though that CD kinda sucked despite having the best live content they've ever put out. I asked Jerry about the full version of the 1975 show from that release on twitter and he said he didn't know where the tapes were, so there's probably no chance of a "better" version of that album. Who knows though, maybe Mark is sitting on a treasure trove. Frankly I'm surprised we've gotten any of these high-effort releases, given the state of the band.

My bet on the next release would be a Dev-o Live LP, like Rhino released on CD years ago.

edit: I completely forgot about the Max's Kansas City RSD release a few years back. That was straight from The Mongoloid Years, which makes sense because that disc is too long for one record. So yeah, probably no chance of the rest of that CD ever being re-released.

So Warner has this thing they do called Run Out Groove where every few months they put up three different titles for a reissue or special edition, you vote for one and the most popular is produced and then sold. Often they are things that have been out of print for a long time or otherwise never issued. This time around one of the choices is a Devo singles collection. Several of the songs are rare early non-album tracks. I know there are a bunch of other fans on here, so I figured I'd get it out there. Info here:
