Picked this up today, jazzy folky free-improv with Don Cherry.
Used to belong to Canadian artist Clive Robertson. Pretty cool.

>>69449652
No doubt. Comfy feels.

Is it normal to have like 90-70% of your collection be just random shit you find at auctions/flea markets?

Most of what I have is stuff I've never heard of until I bought the record. And weirdly enough, some of it is really good.

>>69450962
idk if it's normal, but I have never bought an album I haven't already heard, which I guess can be both good and bad since there is never anything new, but you know that what you're buying is good. I might start picking up some records unknown to me though, but I prefer first listening to the music online and then deciding if I want to pay for it

>>69451167
I wouldn't do it for expensive albums, but last night I got a box of 20-30 records for $5 at an auction, all in good condition. Most of it I didn't recognize, but it adds to the collection and what I've heard of the bunch is pretty good.

Flea Markets and auctions are great places to look, and records are usually $.50 - $1 at thrift shops

>>69449536
Pretty festive, I'm getting the Charlie Brown one when it arrives

My camera is shit, but I just picked this up today as an early birthday present to myself (along with some CDs, but this is a vinyl thread).

>>69451555
It's a splatter vinyl, so the price isn't completely retarded.

>>69449536
that charlie brown pressing sounds surprisingly good for translucent green vinyl

>>69451825
Good to hear, cuz I haven't opened it yet. Got one for me and one for daddio for xmas

>>69451907
nice, I got a copy as a gift last year and spun it for the first time all season a couple days ago

I don't think I'll ever tire of it

Got this for my gf for christmas. She doesn't collect vinyls at all, so I thought I would get things to start out using before she can really get into it. Her favorite band atm is Wet. She can't stop listening to them.

>>69447909
Nice pick ups. I would love to have a physical copy of Chill Out. One of my favorite albums

>>69451696
I love Zion Gate Records. They're a great record store. +Darkthrone, W@TG

>>69453843
That Crossley is going to destroy her records bro.

>>69453843
If you wanted to get her into vinyl collecting then why did you get her that godawful contraption for playing them?

>>69453905
how it going to do that?

>>69453971
Cause I'm not made of money and she never considered collecting vinyls. Let alone, wants to.

Haven't been buying much lately, this was the last big one

>>69453983
Mainly because the record platter is smaller than the records, so the records aren't supported. Thus, they bend while playing. And the tone arm doesn't have a counter weight. What do you use for yourself anon?

>>69447933
the newer pressing has the bent coin as well

>>69453843
>I love Zion Gate Records.
Yeah, it's a fantastic store. I'm going to have to get down that way more often. Living up north sucks.

If you're on /mu/ and you're not an audiophile you need to leave.

>>69453905
I feel so bad for all the wannabe hipsters buying Crosley.

It's not their fault. They're the only record players you can find in stores without going to a pretty special place. They don't know that the needle grinds into the record, that they desperately need a counterweight, that the whole thing is so low quality they'd get a better sound from a streaming service with speakers connected by AUX. They're just not informed.

If any of these people are reading this, I want you to let you know that you can get a decent Audiotechna for not that much more. It sounds so, so much better and doesn't literally carve into the record.

Hell, even an old model from the 80s is better than those. I hate Crosley for selling it because I know they know how shitty it really is, but they're smart for capitalizing on the wannabe hipster market.

>>69454083
>posting this in a fucking vinyl thread
oh the ironing

>>69454099

Agreed. It's unfortunate, because as you said these damn Crossleys will LITERALLY destroy the vinyls you buy over time.

The worst part is that there's absolutely no counterweight on them. None. The needle seriously is just dropped right on the record with the full force of gravity pulling on it.

just bought something off of somebody through paypal for the first time. can sellers update the details with tracking information or tell you when they ship or anything? or am i just in the blind until it arrives? should i email them and pester them to see if it has shipped?

>>69453983
platter is too small so record hangs over the edge while playing which causes it to warp over time not to mention the un-weighted needle arm pressing down WAY TOO HARD and damaging the surface grooves

>>69453843

I have a pioneer. Can't remember the model but its a vintage. But I have a setup because I do collect vinyls. I'm willing to invest into a collection. I just don't know if my gf was interested in something like that. So I gave her something I could afford with the little money I have from going to school and working part time.

>>69454475
I feel you. My suggestion would be, just get her a record or two instead of the player, and let her play the records at your place. Then, late, if she shows interest in records, you could get her a player next time.

>>69454362
>>69454399
Its not a permanent primary driver for vinyl playing... Just something to get her into the idea of collecting vinyls.

Her birthday is in February. I was planning on getting her the whole 9 yards given that she find an interest in it between when she gets her present and when her birthday comes around.

>>69454666
Ah. Well hopefully she picks up the hobby.

>tfw no music/art nerd gf.

I collect records, but damn I'd love a girl who was either into that, or drawing stuff.

>>69454101
I honestly wouldn't consider vinyl 'materialistic.' The music is obviously digitally available, the act of acquiring it is more of a collector move. It's why I do it. I don't even have a functioning record player at the moment, but I will. Plus the nice-sized album art. Truly something worth collecting. Stamp-fags are stupid, but I get why you do it.

Recent cops from past 2-3 months since I haven't posted in a while.

Side question: what's the most expensive record you've ever purchased? and if you sell records, what's the most you've ever sold one for?

Mine:
>purchased: I picked up a DJ Sprinkles vinyl sampler for $45 basically just so I could have one song (ball'r) on vinyl, which, in retrospect, is both defendable still and completely ridiculous
>sold: before I knew music or bought records I found an original 1967 recall press of The Velvet Underground + Nico with the banana sticker still fully intact at an antique store, bought it for $20, and stupidly sold it immediately
>got $250 for it so i was stoked
>now looking back after Lou Reed's death that could've been over $1000
>ugh
>>69449536
nice books but imo the tomlab press looks cooler (i just like that cover more)

>>69454013
ah jealous, been meaning to pick up grouper on vinyl (specifically this or dragging a dead deer)

>>69452030
But not usually does, clear pressings tend to sound much poppier than black

Just got Repulsion - Horrified and Bathory - Blood Fire Death

Mailman handed me these on Friday. Really good stuff.

the Opal record I've been trying to get my hands on since I started collecting. I thought it was NM but there's an ugly seam split on the jacket. Not too bad tho, because the record itself is in good condition.

>>69447909
F#A# was one of my first records; truly superior stuff.

>>69448202
This is uncanny... I picked up Sounds of Silence the other day at the record shop. I love S&G a lot; Still looking for a Wednesday Morning, 3 AM in good condish

I think the priciest piece I've picked up was a copy of Music on Vinyl's clear edition of "The Moon & Antarctica" for like $44 off eBay. Sounds great!

I payed way too much for the Scientist LP, but fuck it. I wanted the original Greensleeves pressing badly.

>>69450962
I usually like to binge on cheaper records (or make bundle deals) on records at record shows/sales. Some people i've bought from have great taste, so i trust their reccomendations when i'm like gimme something i've never heard of or i want something like _______. But, if i'm buying unplayed vinyl, it's usually one of my all time favorites. So for me it's about 2/3 random stuff, 1/3 favorites.
