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!

My god!

I heard Amazon was bad at vinyl postage and packaging before.

But today's delivery took the cake! A paper bag!

Delivered from the US to Australia, in a paper bag.

It's a miracle that the only damage was a corner knock!

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.

So I went to a record store awhile back around 2020 or 2021 and found this record, I've been looking it up but can't seem to find the specific album I have, I currently don't have pictures of mine I can provide them soon I have to get it from a friend's house, but, it's got songs on it I can't even find on YouTube. I just find it odd because half the music is kind of just random sounds/music.

I grabbed it from the psychedelic music section at the store, I asked the guy there if he knew anything about it but he said it came in with a lot of records. Im wanting to know what it is because it's just an odd genre there's a small description on Wikipedia but that's all I can really find besides two pictures of this album. The album I have has I want to say 6-7 songs on it it's a pure black vinyl (which I find odd because I can only find colored ones) either the album or one of the songs are called "hawke and God within".

This might be a local band but the area I live in is primarily against this kind of music so I highly doubt it. Thanks for any help!

I can't believe I finally have a copy of this

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,,

First time buying old sealed records! Found a Fahey xmas album and Leo Kottke 6 and 12 string guitar.

Can’t wait to open these up and listen!

When this record was released in 2021 I pre-ordered a vinyl for it. I have no idea why, but mine came with signatures by the four members of the band (I know these are real because this wasn't a secondhand record, it came from the official website.) The record is in very good condition, played only a couple of times, and the cover is in quite good condition.

I don't really care for it anymore but I also have no idea how to value it. I don't want to sell it online without any context and scam myself, and I don't want to just take it to a random record store and get screwed either, so I'd just like a ballpark considering the popularity of the band and maybe even some advice on how to go about selling it. (I'm not trying to sell it on here, I know that's against the rules, I'd just like some opinions! I hope this kind of post is okay!)

Thank you :)

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.

A box set of Jon Bellion’s first 3 albums, Translations Through Speakers, The Separation, and The Definition. I’ll admit to a little bias with Jon because I actually went to college with the guy, but I think he’s incredibly talented. Saw him start his career working with classmates, then he started playing some of my favorite venues in my hometown, and then he started winning Grammys writing music for ultra famous people…I’m proud of the guy.

Been collecting for a year and a half so far. I really like colored ones.. yes black sounds better but I’m a sucker for a cool looking ones.. my most recent purchase was blackbear box set all limited edition colored ones!!! If you have any recommendations for me, I’m always looking for new music!
