There is good report on pitchfork about this, they have quotes from the label heads and damage estimates. How can they find who is responsible for this? and why? http://pitchfork.com/news/43478-labels-react-to-sonypias-warehouse-fire/

I was more talking about placing the culpability for what happened, down to a single person/group Which in retrospect, is a pretty naive question. I was more interested in the label heads saying their entire stock had been wiped out

I posted this in the beatles thread, but didn't get any responses, so thought maybe you guys would have more of a clue about these. I just got them from my local record guy, I can't find anything out about that particular version of the Beatles in Hamburg and the Renaissance Minstrels is just a bootleg made in the 70's of some demos/unfinished versions of songs for Let It Be, the vinyl for it in the picture is actually a royal blue, but the picture doesn't really show it. Anyone have any more info on these?

Ron Burgundy posted:All I can tell you about the Hamburg disc is that it is made in Australia, as Summit was an Australian distributor, in this case of a Karussell record. Karussell and Summit were legit labels, so I think that it is more of a localised version than a flat out boot. What is the content, early recordings, a concert? It's a live recording, though I haven't actually listened yet. Cat No. is SRA 250-550, track listing is: Side one: 1. Ain't She Sweet 2. Cry For A Shadow 3. Let's Dance 4. My Bonnie 5. If You Love Me, Baby 6. What'd I Say Side Two 1. Sweet Georgia Brown 2, The Saints 3. Ruby Baby 4. Why 5. Nobody's Child 6. All My Love - Ya Ya

Ron Burgundy posted:Being the friend/relative/neighbour that collects records, I found a large lot dumped in my room when I got home from work. I got through about half a dozen Nana Mouskouri records before I found a nice little collection of small run 70's Australian jazz records, many of them are signed by the bands, one had a letter to the previous owner. Can I ask what they were? Australian jazz is a bit of an interest in out family

Dissapointed Owl posted:I want to see them live so bad but they skip coming anywhere near me every time I saw them in Melbourne last year with The Antlers, I didn't know who they were at the time but left very impressed. And yes, the drummer is pretty awesome to watch, mostly because Jon (the singer) couldn't do much from behind his keyboard, so he was front and centre.

Bliggers- posted:Hey so I stumbled across popmarket.com which is kind if like the groupon of music. It's run by Sony and seems to be mostly deluxe boxsets and package deals with a focus on older artists but there is new stuff too. Lots of free shipping offers as well. I've had nothing but good experiences with them. They somehow got my black keys bundle to a country town in Australia in the space of 3 and a half days. They also have a sister site called metal wreckage which only deals with metal stuff

Jerry Cotton posted:I don't know, I don't have the album. Is the purpose to listen to it through 8 speakers at once or just to listen to it all at once? I think part of their intended listening experience is that when you listen to it, the cd players will never play in sync from beginning to end and will slip in and out of phase so that it becomes a "new song" every time. I only did it once and it was pretty cool, but a pain in the rear end to setup.

Did That on Television posted:This is what buying records should be like all the time. Down with RSD, up with American RSD sounds like a loving nightmare, I live in a smallish city in Australia where the only record shop is a tiny rented stall at the markets. When I went down there to pick up some things the guy who ran the stall was there, and was putting through all the purchases himself (should clarify that it's just a big warehouse that rents out a small space for people to sell poo poo, they take a small cut of everything sold), and thanking everyone for supporting his business and hanging out and talking to people. It was actually a pretty cool and surprising experience, I didn't really expect anyone else to be there

Wouldn't ripping from vinyl be pointless in the first place anyway because the advantage of listening to an analog recording would be completely negated once you digitise it? Unless that record you had was not available anywhere online I suppose

david puddy posted:you poor soul Yeah. I don't think I can ever justify buying from the USA anymore. With the aussie dollar the way it is and the increased shipping prices from USPS it usually works out to be more expensive than the actual record. I wanted to get that Devo box set that was recently released but shipping was 60-80 bucks

Are you sure that's right? JB's catalog is weird in that they will have multiple versions of the same thing at prices that vary up to 50 bucks. I remember looking for the next day by Bowie on there and they had multiple copies listed, then a few days later just the one double lp listed at 39.99. I know I've seen those Beatles reissues in store at 35 bucks

You guys like Death records? My brother inherited a bunch of records from a guy who, get this, was loving laser cutting them into shapes to sell as jewelery at a local market before he had to stop because the guy who did the cutting said he wouldn't do it any longer because it was loving with his lungs. Or some bullshit. So my brother took the rest from him, and there a bunch of gems in there, a bunch of old slayer, kreator, iron maiden, exodus records. Basically if it it was 80's metal it was in there. Including these, there were also some slayer records in there that were signed by everyone. It's been a while since I was there to see the collection so I can't remember exactly. There might have been a copy of Leprosy in there that was signed by Chuck Schuldiner as well.

CPL593H posted:A lot of people think that any and all records are priceless collectables for some reason. Hilariously, it's usually middle aged people. People just assume old = valuable. I used to work at an auction place and people would be forever bringing in lovely furniture and saying "It's old! It was built in the 20's! You could get a hundred bucks for that." Most of the time it was just a few broken chairs and a very chipped table with deep deep gouges on the surface. Even if it was built then, and by someone who knew what they were doing, it's in such lovely condition the only thing you could do with it is take it to landfill. But yeah, the record buyers/sellers were the worst. The Beatles are the most well known band on earth and their records were mass produced, your water damaged copy of Sgt Peppers is worth nothing, not 30 bucks. It's always Beatles records too, always.

Rarest for me was some TISM albums, the Collected Recordings was from Collectors Corner in Melbourne for 40 bucks about ten years ago, the records weren't technically from a shop, but from a dude who would buy up random lots from estates and old radio stations and stuff to resell from his garage, got them also for about 40 bucks for both. Discogs has median price for Truckin Songs at $84.62, no sales history for the others. Fun fact, one of the pressings for Truckin Songs had all 4 sides (purposely) sealed so you had to use a box cutter to open it up.

I was pretty excited to see them in the bundle, when he told me the price I really had to play it cool because those prices are an absolute steal for them. That petition got a surprising amount of traction, it was all over my facebook for a couple of weeks. Damian Cowell even responded to it on his facebook page.
