I wish someone would reissue "Something That No One Else Could Bring" becuase it has their 4 best songs on one 45. I think because Factory issued it there might be a problem getting the rights. I'm going to suggest it to Drastic Plastic or Captured Tracks even though they would never listen to some random customer in a million years.

Uh... my wallet. I just can't resist the Smiths... even though I literally have EVERYTHING they've done already. I need an excuse not to get this. I really do.

Vintersorg posted:

gently caress, that Smiths set is tempting but that is way too much money.

I'd only really want Hatful of Hollow and the first album anyways.

CPL593H posted:

There are already Rhino reissues of the individual albums. Rhino price gouges the gently caress out of their box sets anyway. I remember they had a Joy Division set which included the two albums and Still. Of course when it was released there had already been the exact same reissues by Rhino for a few years and buying them separately was something like 150 dollars less.

Just a heads up, there's more than one Newbury Comics, of the ones I've been to the one in Harvard Square seems to have the best vinyl section. But anyway a few places you might want to check out are In Your Ear, Looney Tunes, Nuggets(kind of overpriced), and the Armaggedon Shop. There's some new place in Somerville, that someone here posted about. But I'm not sure if it's open because I haven't been there yet.

Oh and there's a shop in Harvard Square which may be of interest to any vinyl people. I think it's called Stereo Lab. They have all kinds of audio stuff. It's in the same building as the Harvard Square Newbury Comics.

Which college out of curiosity? Former Northeastern kid, here.

Cheapo Records in Central is decent as well as Weirdo Records (although Weirdo has a really eclectic kind of theme going on). The Newbury St. Newbury comics is actually pretty decent for used but the Harvard Sq one has a slightly better "new" section. Outside the city though there's not much vinyl at other Newbies though, but you probably won't care unless you find yourself stranded in the burbs. There's a place called In Your Ears off comm ave near BU but I haven't been there yet - heard good things though.

Wish there was a little bit more info on how many of those Neutral Milk Hotel box sets Mangum will be making...

Mescal posted:

That neutral milk hotel site must be brilliant marketing, because this is the first time since high school I've been excited about that band.

I used to have (probably still do) two or three hundred live and demo tracks by them. Most of those on the new box set are duds when it comes to both songwriting and recording quality. Even completionists would probably spin them once and put them away. I imagine that "unreleased" means "leaked and widely available online" at least when it comes to four track and live versions.

But I loving salivate at the idea of this:


If those are truly heard here for the first time--not the versions I know--it's exciting. All of side B are solid songwriting, most of all Engine. And Oh Sister has always been the missing piece that left Aeroplane incomplete and (just barely) unsatisfying. It's a crime that song wasn't on the album.

"Home" I'm not familiar with it. Has anybody here heard it?

edit: wish i had the scratch to buy the set...

Tiny Faye posted:

It's called Newbury Comics and there's one on Newbury St. and one in Harvard Sq. Somerville Grooves has a fair bit of stuff in that vein (at a premium) compared to other mostly used stores, but not nearly as good of a selection as Newbies. The majority of the inventory is your standard classic rock fare.

I got the crazy-rear end bound reissue of Still for 11.99 in an Amazon blow-out sale.

CPL593H posted:

I remember the days when I thought 40 dollars was a lot for a record. I was so young then. Also I had money.

CPL593H posted:

That's my whole problem. They all mean something to me, always. Basically I've reached the point where it's bordering on addiction.

CPL593H posted:

I probably said this before, but you can get the whole set of Smiths vinyl reissues for something like 120-150 dollars. And they are they same discs as what are being offered in this set. I know there's a bunch of add ons and CDs and poo poo, but honestly if you've got them LPs what the hell do you need to pay an extra 350 dollars each for CDs of the same thing. Hell you can probably score the CDs at ten bucks a piece if you really want them. Or less if you get them used. Rhino box sets are always a huge loving rip off.

CPL593H posted:

I knew about the singles, but I still think that's insanely overpriced. There was a recent singles reissue box, but that it only has ten of the singles and is kind of a hot item. And as it turns out you can get the albums for something closer to 80-100.

Duckula posted:

By the prices on eBay/Discogs I have picked the absolute worst time to start a Boards of Canada LP collection.

Why can't those elusive bastards come out of hiding long enough to warrant a reissue.

In actual vinyl pickup news I got this freebie from a giveaway on Twitter. It has the Radiohead track from their record store day release.

Cemetry Gator posted:

That has to be a typo: only a single for Siamese Dream. Both versions I have are doubles, and that would mean each side would be over 30 minutes, and thus, sounding like poo poo. So, I really hope it's a typo, otherwise there's no real reason for anyone to get that.

Also for reissues, that's pretty standard pricing. Now the only question left is when they get to Adore, will that be the first time the album will be in stereo on vinyl, or will they use the mono mix?

big business sloth posted:

new store opened up in town, they're clearly still getting everything set up, but I did find Big Black's Racer-X (92 reissue) and Headache EPs. Should be getting a big buncha punk/hardcore in soon that I'm going to dig into!!

Hey, does that guy who works at Insound still post in this thread? I just got an offer emailed to me hawking preorders of Dropped Piano by Tim Hecker for 10% off, but I'd already preordered on 10/18. Any way I could get that discount applied to my existing preorder? I'd responded to the email offer but haven't heard anything back yet.

my Black Friday haul



kind of a smattering of different genres, can't wait to listen to that Night Birds LP.

CPL593H posted:

You mean you didn't wait outside in line with everyone else to hopefully get that eighty dollar reissue of John Lennon's Imagine?

On another note, I saw the Screaming Females open for the Dead Weather. They were pretty weird. The singer looks way too young. I regret not grabbing their album at the show.

CPL593H posted:

I'm certainly interested in picking up their albums. I've just been trying to cut back on my spending lately.

Stoked people are digging on the Night Birds LP. One of my favorite new bands of the past 5 years. That LP is amazing. Plus everyone needs to buy it so Alex can keep just running the label and not go back to having a real job.

Handshake Drugs posted:

One of my favorite bands is Sleater-Kinney, and last summer, I decided I wanted to collect their entire discography on vinyl. Received the last piece today:

Crap, just realized there's a 7" that came with the "One Beat" LP that I didn't include in the picture. Oh well, it's hidden inside.
I've also collected a few things from other bands the members have been a part of:

Handshake Drugs posted:

Thanks. Yup, I started with The Woods and then just went from there. Had all the LPs by the end of that summer and then it was just a matter of waiting for the 7"s to show up on ebay for a reasonable price.

Anyone received their Neutral Milk Hotel box set yet?

NMH Records posted:

Hello Friends,

The box sets are done and being sent to us in waves. We will begin shipping them out early this week. Please keep in mind that we will be sending out copies in the order we received them, so arrival times will vary. We apologize for the delay. We added an insert to hold all the records and posters in place, but when the pressing people shipped the first copies to us, the insert turned out to be a bit more delicate than we had anticipated, and unfortunately was getting torn in transit. Thus we have had to experiment with different ways of shipping the box so that in the end it will arrive to you in pristine condition. We know that you've waited a long time for this and we sincerely appreciate not only your patience, but also the good faith that you have placed in us by supporting this project!

Take care-

Artoria Gibbons---NMH Records
