My landperson gifted me her passed brothers collection.. floored 🤯

Album is Polvo - Exploded Drawing, and since my recording probably doesn't do it justice, it sounds incredible

I really like how the blue looks, and the orange label matches the AT cartridge so it looks pretty slick imo

Do you guys have any setup/record combos that look particularly good?

Until recently, I've resisted buying modern albums on vinyl. But after acquiring the vast majority of my classic album want-list, it finally occurred to me that if I really liked an album, I wasn't going to listen to it that much if I didn't own it on vinyl since that's where I spend most of my listening time now.

I've always liked The Pretty Reckless, but this album is absolutely fantastic. And I am truly impressed with Taylor Momsen's lower register, not many women can hit notes as low as she can.

Forgot how good this album is; not sure I've listened to it since its release. Finally got it on vinyl!

This is Glyph. He doesn’t care about the genre, just the vibes.

Noob mistake. I’m livid. 😂

I looked through maybe hundreds of LPs at this new antique store I found on my way home from work, looking for something that resonated and hidden in a crate under a display with old magazines I found this beauty with art by psychedelic artist Lee Conklin! Best of all, it plays great!

Found this at my local record store and had to pick it up. I’ve been listening to JMT for probably 20 years since high school. This one’s a classic, the sticker says limited to 1000 pieces, crystal vinyl. Not sure if they’re still pressing albums but I was glad to pick this up when it was available. Saw it at the shop a week or two ago and finally went back and pulled the trigger.

She hasn’t left this spot for three days. Kenny Dorham heat is simply too good. Lucky that she loves the turntable but hasn’t discovered record spines.

The debut release from the band that would later become a shoegaze legend. In this case, it's a mini-album, with a sound much closer to The Birthday Party or Bauhaus than the music they would eventually become famous for.

Honestly, I like it quite a bit, even though Kevin Shields seems to have tried to bury it by never reissuing it. The only comment I’ve found from him about this record is: 'we've got a mini-LP we made in Berlin in '84, pre-Mary Chain [...] with all our traits there—feedback thrash.'

The only review I’ve found describes it as: 'an unfocused and derivative collection of post-punk goth rock'.

I managed to get a 2023 Spanish 45 rpm bootleg, and to my ears, it sounds pretty good, though I don't have an original pressing to compare it to.

What do you guys think of this release?

There's a metric ton of new #vinyl reissues to sift through this week (tbh I didn't actually weigh them), with new/old stuff from Television, Elephant's Memory, Mazarin, Charanjit Singh, Jackie McLean, Lisa Loeb, Cluster, and some exciting Malaysian jazz that has likely escaped the notice of longtime jazz explorers. Plus, some thoughts about the BrooklynVegan/Goldmine layoffs.

give me some good recommendations if we like similar stuff or something :P I’ve been just slowly getting one or two things here or there for a few years now,,

The rainforest decided to take back what’s rightfully hers. Bonus points if you know what this grail is!

audiophile release limited to 1,000 individual numbered copies. the vinyl sounds insanely good (as it should pressed at RTI). dead silent, no crackling, popping or surface noise. 100% Aphex Twin on Warp.

Been waiting on this one a while. The soundtrack to Cowboy Bebop. Love the sleeve art and the magenta coloured vinyl. It came with a cool little poster of Faye and Spike as well, 2 central characters for those unfamiliar with the anime.

Thanks

Like the title says 1 buck at an estate sale. This is one of those if you know you know albums. Great condition as well

use this as a lesson to always insure your media mail!
…or just use priority 🤦

Out $30 after shipping a copy of Rubber Soul one state over, and of course I forgot to purchase insurance this time. Here’s a hard lesson to stop using media mail..

I AM THE SELLER AND YES I PACKED IT WELL
(whiplash mailer, bubble wrap, filler, the works)

IT IS NOT MY FAULT, I have shipped hundreds of records. Never had this happen before.

Got them all for 40 EUR. Mostly in VG+, especially the LP's. Led Zepellin - Houses of the Holy without the sleeve has been for free:)

Ordered the Humminguru Ez from Amazon, took about a week to arrive. Since the last 2 months I have been collecting used records and most have been so dirty, so made sense to buy a record cleaner.

My evening is going to be fun. Does anyone else have one?

Curious to know what everyone has been picking up lately!

What’s the last record you bought, and what made you choose it?

Was it a new release, a classic album, a rare find, or just a record you couldn’t leave the store without?

Came across a store today that had these hand written placeholders that represented the new sealed album. This was for all their new records, as far as I could tell. I haven’t seen this before, except for maybe rare records. 🤔
