Now here's the tricky part: where do you put "Paul McCartney and Wings"?

the correct answer is in the Ms, chronologically after McCartney solo

Since Paul McCartney bubbled up in the thread recently I might as well ask in here: if I unironically love Wings - Back to the Egg where should I go next? I also have a copy of At the Speed of Sound but remember nothing about it other than it came with a magazine clipping from the 70s on what the Beatles are doing now, which threw a bunch of shade on Ringo (as per usual) for doing country songs.

McCartney II for me, it came shortly after the egg album, Temporary Secretary is a banger.

Has anyone gotten a shipping notification from uDiscover yet?

What are some good sales going on now? I've got a friend who just ordered her first record player and she's looking for stuff to spin. (udiscover is done right?)

Yea. What usually ends up happening is when I order stuff from Europe private sellers end up in the Chicago sorting center for awhile because it’s going through customs. If it’s a legit business though it seems like they get fast tracked through.

I'm having difficulty believing it but the vinyl looks what might be a G+. It sounds to me like Buddah records was an unfortunate part of our history, not sure. There was so much awful music on the radio in those days.

I need to put the brakes on my vinyl collecting. I'm at the point where if I see a record available that I want, I buy it out of fear its going to go out of print, or become hard to get. I don't have that kind of budget to shop like that. I just got like 7 records last week, and I think I have another 6 or so in the mail.

I also found out that after 20+ years of turning up my nose at cassette tapes that they're not bad as long as you're using decent equipment. It's kind of hosed up my whole reality. I initially looked into it because I had a handful of things that were only released on cassette so I dug out my old barely used tape deck and hooked it up to my stereo.

I'm really surprised at all the Amazon shipping issues people have run into. I've ordered probably 20+ albums from there over the years, and each has come in the typical cardboard record mailer that everyone else uses. Never had a problem with a warped record. Maybe some distribution centers are better than others, or I've just been really lucky.

I used the Squeaky Clean for years. Loved that thing. Didnt and dont regret that purchase one bit, but I also now love my Humminguru.

Don't recall paying more than $50 for any single album yet, most I've spent is $150 (or was it $200?) for a Rob Crow box set.

Here’s the rest of the haul today.


Jens Lenkman - “Night Falls Over Kortedala”
Marshall Tucker Band - “Carolina Dreams”
Abba - “Voulez-Vous”
Dolly Parton - “Here You Come Again”
The Jam - “The Gift”

Pretty huge store in Regina, SK - Vintage Vinyl & Hemp Emporium. Could have spent way more time digging. Fair prices on everything - original Canadian prints. Some Rush stuff at $75. They had an original Soundgarden “Down on the Upside” from 96 but it was $120 and apparently warped a bit.

Visited another place called X-Ray Records nearby which had a lot of new stuff but was way overpriced. Back home in Winnipeg I go to Into the Music and for the same rerelease of Metallicas “Ride the Lightning” it was $22 at home and $37 at this store in Regina. The owner jacked everything up after I kept digging in the metal section.

Ooh, which comps?

I really like the Madcap Laughs. Opel really sounds like a dump of stuff they had laying around somewhere, which is what it is. But at any rate it's mice to know there will be a reissue of some quality, hopefully anyway but Third Man always does reissues with a lot of care. I suspect that they're going to later unbundle them and sell them as non-limited black vinyl discs as has been the case with a lot of Vault "exclusives".

If you like Mort Garson check out Bruce Haack. Shimmy Disc just reissued one of them called Captain Entropy. Haack started out making really unusual children's music often with instruments of his own design and creation before moving towards more adult oriented material in his later career. His album Haackula was basically a middle finger to the music industry after having to deal with years and years of bullshit. It ruffled enough feathers that it remained unreleased for 20 years. It's a very angry album that should have been a classic.

Musician Death inflation news: Last week, it was possible to score an original vinyl copy of Sinéad O'Connor's The Lion And The Cobra for less than $30. Now you can't find one under $150.

I hate this hobby.

My dad-in-law wrinkled his nose at me when I said "Eminence Front" is my favorite The Who song.

...How controversial of an opinion is this? My second favorite is Baba O'Reilly, as both are tied to nostalgic media for me: GTA San Andreas for EF and the Bugs Life trailer for BOR. I was super young for the latter, god I feel old!
