The MoFi reissue of The Cars self titled album is fantastic if anyone has been sitting on the fence about buying it.

I Might Be Adam posted:Last time I went to Hot Topic's website was to grab about 10 LPs for $50 shipped and got some neat new albums that I didn't know existed but the selection they have now is strictly Screamo or whatever and punk/mall punk stuff. Sure, they have some solid records like Siamese Dream and some Pink Floyd records but that new Animal Collective record was the only one I felt like buying and couldn't find anything else to push me over $30. Only one I want is Siamese Dream, so I'm in the same boat.

I, Butthole posted:Finally got a decent record player today, an old school Hitachi with a Shure cartridge. Turns out the spike on the platter is too big for my Dinosaur Jr. Bug - Live at the 9:30 12". Don't want to push it down because the record is pretty limited and the jewel of my collection at this point (at least until my DFA1979 RSD release comes because that is gonna make me drool). Anything I can do? Some people say just push down on the spindle and the hole will stretch a little, but I'm always afraid the record is going to break when I try to pull it off again so I use a pencil or bic pen and rotate in the hole on the record a little bit to make the hole a little larger (don't over-do it though).

david puddy posted:and whenever I drop the needle it is obviously to close to the spindle so it just lifts straight back up and I have to force the tonearm to stay in place before it actually plays it. Probably just my poo poo turntable though I guess this is an advantage of having an entirely manual turntable.

Dissapointed Owl posted:Hand-cranked? Well, it has a motor, I just have to move the tonearm onto the record and back off when it's done. I do wish I had a switch to change speeds between 33 1/3 and 45, I have to remove the platter and move the belt to a different area on the pulley to change speeds.

Dissapointed Owl posted:I'm not a Smashing Pumpkins fan but the new 4 LP re-issue/re-master set of Mellon Collie & the Infinite Sadness is only 28 Canadian Dollars on Amazon.ca, an almost 46 dollar difference with the one on Amazon.com. Shipping is high to the US ($10), but $40 total is a lot more palatable than $74.

Well my order from Amazon Canada for the super cheap Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness got canceled  However, I visited my mother today and she found some old records that she gave me...  There's a lot of surface noise on Sgt. Pepper's, but still very listenable. I haven't gotten a chance to listen to the other two yet.

The wording in the email suggests it's only for people who's orders were canceled. I just followed the link in the email to find it. There was a coupon code in the email too as the price on the amazon page was like $65CDN

CPL593H posted:Not really, but there's probably going to be only one copy and if you want it you're going to have to be out there at 7:00 am to get it. Honestly I'd be suprised if RSD lasts another two years. The majority of people buying the poo poo aren't even buying the records to listen to them. I decided a long time ago nothing is worth waiting in line at 7am, so I'm showing up at like noon and if they have what they want I'm buying it, if they don't I'm just going home.

I bought the Love reissue and Lumineers EP today, they're both pretty great. I showed up about 20 minutes after the store opened and they were busy, but no lines or anything. I wanted to get the Moonrise Kingdom sound track, but they said FedEx forgot to leave one of the boxes so they didn't have any. They're supposed to call me though.

alg posted:the Fleetwood Mac re-press of Rumours is gonna be $99. lmao I can go into any record store in my city and find 3 copies of Rumors for $5, why would I pay $100 for it? I'm not sure a reissue at any price makes sense for a record that's so common, but I could see people paying $15 to get a brand new clean copy.

Jeff Wiiver posted:Tapes are so cool to me for some reason. I've never really owned any because they went out of fashion right before I started buying music, but I just love their look for some reason. I'm sure the sound quality is terrible but I feel like they'd make great collectibles. Making mixtapes on cassettes was a ton of fun, CD-Rs made it so easy the process lost some of it's magic.

Electric Bugaloo posted:except for maybe the tonearm swivel assembly (no idea how much this could possibly matter, but I'd bet money it hovers around "inconsequential") and the acrylic platter. What difference does an acrylic platter make? This guy at vinylnirvana.com sells an acrylic platter for some AR tables (I have an ES-1) for $189. The platter I have now is metal (and fairly heavy). He seems to sell some magic rock type stuff (lead platter mat for $80?), but I did buy a drive belt from him and it works fine.

Jeff Wiiver posted:Yeah I bought it a few weeks ago. Good sound quality and setlist. Worth it for the music, but if you're into packaging and aesthetics it's a pretty lame release. Just comes in a sleeve, no artwork (are all live at third man records like this?). When I bought it it was $15, I don't regret buying it, but the price seems steep for a rather barebones release. I live in Nashville so the local stores carry the TMR stuff and the store I like has it for $13. I really like their Good Bad Not Evil album so thought I might try it. You're right though, the packing is really boring.

Abu Dave posted:I wanna throw my hat into reccomending MusicDirect. Good service, extremely fast shipping (I ordered 3 days after a order from walmart.com and best buy and it came two days before with the basic shipping). That said DO NOT EVER buy a record from walmart.com. I ordered the White Album and it arrived with corners bent ugh. I haven't ordered from them before, but soundstagedirect.com has been good to me the few times I've ordered from them. I normally buy from my local stores though.

nomapple posted:I notice a few people have ordered vinyl off Amazon here, what's your experience been like with it? For some reason I am wary of ordering records from a place like Amazon. I normally order from dedicated vinyl sites or direct from the label/artist. Usually they send records in nice mailers, but I've gotten records from them that were in a taped up collapsed box if you know what I mean? I've also gotten a damaged record from them (no damage to shipping box), but amazon is super easy to do returns with (and they cross ship) so it's not that big a deal.

I don't know if anyone here is into blues, but evidently TMR is starting a series of blues reissues/compilations and the first three are available for preorder... http://thirdmanrecords.com/news/view/document-records-reissues EDIT: It goes beyond blues, it's "the building blocks and DNA of American culture. Blues, R&B, Elvis, teenagerism, punk rock"
